If you haven't heard of them, you should check out B.O.S.S. Silencers from Virginia. They're inexpensive, use the hub system, have reduced gas blowback (and are available with vented front caps as well), and are VERY quiet - in a Pepsi challenge, I've seen them beat out some of the bigger companies like Q, Surefire, and YHM. MSRP on their Guillotine 5.56mm is $499. I have that one and plan on buying a couple more of their cans. Excellent products at an extremely reasonable price
