Smaller, lighter 223 suppressors?

[FlySlanger]

Well now with these wait times shorter than before I dont think I can resist much longer. Years ago I set money aside, figured out what I wanted and started looking through the legal headache but a Black Friday S&W 1911TA at my local shop ruined those plans.... The tax and legal headache is what I didnt want to deal with.

I think I want to get a suppressor thats dedicated to my 16" 223 AR. Before, I wanted something I could shoot 6.5mm through as well, I still do a bit but I dont want a large can on the AR and I dont do much with the 6.5 anymore.

What is out there for 223 cans on the smaller side? And what are the downfalls? Im not too worried about getting the most suppression possible, any will help a good bit, I just dont want it to feel like ive attached a big shoe to the end of my muzzle.

YHM TURBO-K, it’s like 4.5” and I think 8.8oz. Pair it with a cherry bomb and DDC zilch and you get a super short, super light, full auto rated setup, I love mine on my 223’s

FYI the angle on this photo makes it look much longer than it is, it’s very short

My Banish Backcountry 30 cal is 8oz and 5.5 inches. I truly don't understand why 223 cans are so darn heavy.

Otter Creek Polonium, hands down, best value and quiet

Just obtained the exact one (long version) to move the Omega 300 over to a larger host.
I did not expect to actually notice a difference at the shooter's ear of the OCL vs the Omega. Wrong, definitely quieter and better tone overall. So far really liking mine.

The CAT/KK is 14 ounces. Small. But not light.

I know I’m late to the party here, but folks might investigate the Wyoming Arms 4 Squared (4 to the Second power = 4 inches long/4 ounces weight) Ti (Titanium) suppressor for your .223 Remington chambered rifles.
4/2 Ti .
(I can’t figure out how to make the 2 small and move it up to signify squared)

I bought one late last year with 1/2x28 threads and a 6mm bore to run on my Weatherby 307 Range XP in .243 Winchester 7.5” twist. (77 days to approval on the E-form.)

I shoot Berger 108 grain Elite Hunters because we have wolves up here as well in the Predator Zone.

I use it for calling coyotes and it is absolutely perfect on the end of my 22” barrel versus the 5” and 9” TBAC .30 caliber Ti cans I have. They cause the slung rifle to head muzzle first to the ground when hiking to a stand. (I could just not put the can on until I sit down to call, I suppose.)

Wyoming Arms is based out of Cody WY and their little 4 ounce can takes the BOOM out my .243 when calling coyotes. I’m very pleased with its performance.

It does not affect the accuracy of my rifle which fired 50 rounds into ten five-shot groups which aggregated into .507” CTC with the suppressor attached.
It should work for .223 as well.
