That is the typical response most have, I know it was for me. The idea of paying all my money up front then having to sit and wait 9-12 months before I could take it home was always what caused me to pass and say nahhh. Then, the obvious hit me in the head like Thor's hammer and I realized if I would have taken the plunge in to suppressor land I would already be through the waiting period and instead of still thinking about it I'd already have the dam thing and be enjoying it. So I took the leap and bought my first three all at the same time, a 223 centerfire can and two rimfire cans.
Like many of you I got in to suppressors quite some time ago and it seemed like everyone was running more caliber specific cans. Now, the technology has progressed to where if you get a good quality 30 cal can they're about as quiet or even sometimes quieter on everything 30 cal and smaller as our caliber specific cans were and they're often lighter too.
A good quality 30 cal can and a rimfire can like TBAC 22 Take Down or Dead Air Mask 22HD and you'll be pretty well covered. Nobody likes to spend more money then they have to but I always suggest people get a rimfire can the same time they're purchasing their first CF can because rimfires are just so darn fun to shoot suppressed.
