Added and subtracted baffles until I got what I wanted... factoring in -shoot ability, -concealability, -noise

Longer cans have crap handling and recoil characteristics.
It was just short enough to conceal under a jacket.
Decent suppression. It is robust for a pistol can and you can safely run it very wet... noticeably quieter.

This design sat in the basement for months and became a favorite of the employees shooting down in the basement range. One day SiCO called and asked if they could produce it for commercial sales. I told them no problem.

I have not tried the new SiCO compact Tii pistol can, but looks promising.
Well, thanks for it! (I'm the OP) If I see them on sale I'll probably buy another! That way I can semi-permanently secure the adapter. One for direct, one for tri-lug.

It won me over.
