The Q Short Chop 8.6 Blackout Suppressor (Q part no. SIL-SC-QUICKIE-86-RE) is for 8.6 BLK setups that do not need a giant can. It keeps things compact and lightweight but still manages to be very quiet when you are running subsonics. Q says it weighs about the same as an adult hamster, and it is built from stainless steel to keep flash to a minimum. It is a good fit for hunting setups where you want suppression without adding much length to the rifle. It runs on Cherry Bomb XL mounts, even with smaller calibers.
