Daniel Defense Announces New Suppressor Line
BY Herschel Smith2 years, 1 month ago
NEW from Daniel Defense comes the SoundGuard Suppressors, powered by KGM!
Boasting multiple patent-pending design features, Daniel Defense says their three new suppressors (SG-556, SG-30, and SG-30Ti) utilize cutting-edge gas-flow dynamics that eliminate over-gassing and direct gas forward, substantially decreasing the amount of blowback.
These patent-pending gas-flow paths also help stabilize rounds as they pass through and exit the can, thus proving a “negligible” point-of-impact shift.
If that isn’t enough, patented baffle stack design and proprietary coatings reduce the flash signature to almost zero.
Combined, these are big claims and would represent some major innovations in suppressor technology. But with the surge of popularity in cans, we’ve seen some huge changes in recent years.
Daniel Defense is backing their SoundGuard Suppressors with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
MSRP is $750 for the SG-556 and SG-30, $1,000 for the SG-30Ti.
Ammoland also covered this, but almost like a paid advertisement with even less information than you see above from Recoil.
Honestly, this is just poor reporting. So let me ask the most obvious question that wasn’t asked and answered above. I had talked to the folks at Daniel Defense about removing the welded and staked flash hider on a 14.5″ barrel in order to install a SureFire flash hider. The reason? Because SureFire makes a suppressor that installs with a clamp over their own flash hider, so installation and removal is as simple and quick as that.
Does the Daniel Defense suppressor install with a clamping device over their own flash hider? Do they make a model like that? If not currently, do they intend to?
Again, lousy reporting. Daniel Defense should have contacted me to announce this and I would have asked the hard questions.
FWIW, Daniel told me to let a gunsmith do the removal and reinstallation of a new flash hider, that they had a procedure that had to be followed so as not to harm the barrel. But (and here is the nit I have) they also told me that they had fielded other calls to this effect and knew that folks wanted to install flash hiders that clamped on.
So if they knew this, why didn’t they include it in their own design? If they did include it, why didn’t the press release say so?
Does Daniel Defense need to hire me?

I keep hoping that a suppressor / NFA gets to the Supreme Court, so I don’t have to go through an expensive bunch of nonsense to get one.
