It appears the(very self aggrandized) Witt Canooter Valve gets a much larger decibel reduction at roughly the same size and at a slightly lower price.
Another moderator alleging improvements such as disassembly.
The moderator sleeve unscrews for cleaning the baffles, unlike the originals that were welded closed. Precision CNC machined 4130 core, end caps and outer shells. All parts are Coated in Black oxide. 1â2-28 thread 1.0â outside diameter x 4.5â overall...
And the Canooter, which does knock a lot of the edge off the sound. Flash suppression is not impressive.
According to members of our family a Canooter Valve doesnât exist, kind of like a box of grid squares, Until NOW. The goal was to produce a full auto rated suppressor that was hearing safe and make it the most compact unit available anywhere. ...

I bought one from Liemohn and put it on my Bushmaster to complete a modern CAR-15 look. Itâs well made. I couldnât tell a difference in the loudness between it and a regular A2 flash hider. Itâs nice not having to pay $200 for such a âsuppressorâ.

Does it reduce the flash any?

I shot it yesterday afternoon while it was sunny, so I couldnât see flash with it or the A2 flash hider.

Iâll be curious how that works in dimmer conditions.
Really wish Witt would offer a front cap with a 1/2-28 extension to screw a better flash hider on to since their crenulated cap doesnât do much.
Correction, upon learning what i was really seeing the flash hider cap does appear to work.
I have a little more suppressor experience and better understanding what I am seeing/hearing.
On that note, Wittâs flash hider front cap may work fairly well, at least on an 18" using Federal M193. I believe what I was chalking up simply as the flash hider not working was actually due to oxygen in the can burning off with follow up shots having little to no flash and comparable to using decent quality flash hiders. I didnât realize first round pop is also a thing with centerfire cans.
