    When I was waiting to spring my can I got on YouTube and found one video that sounds exactly like what happened to you. Dude was in shock and thought he scrapped his can.
    Man... that's exactly how I felt as I was standing there dumbfounded. I don't screw around with safety and I always make sure my cans are tight. Now I'll be questioning myself. Which isn't a bad thing. Guess I need to tighten and re-tighten.

    I'm not sure I've heard of this happening a single time when it WASN'T user error. People either didn't thread down all the way, cross threaded, didn't lock it, or didn't lock it all the way.

    No matter how it happened, send it again.... worst case SilencerCo fixes it and you're out the can for a week or two.

    (IMO, it's like pulling the trigger before taking off the safety. Shoot enough, it will eventually happen.)

    Mine did it once.

    Put in on my wife’s AR with the QD mount. Handed it to a guy that had never shot suppresses. 3rd shot it went about 30’.


    No damage to can. No signs of why. Never had the issue since. I pay closer attention when threading it and locking it down.

    I was at the range one day and a guy launched his can off his AR-10. We all got a little chuckle and waited for the all clear for him to fetch it. No damage, but he did pack up after :)

    Ok gents. Thanks for the encouragement.
    I have yet to send again. I'll call this one my error. I'll proceed forward.
