So, I am looking for input and advice on the best 5.56 mm sound suppressor out there.

It will be going on a 10.5 inch Colt Commando.
I would like it to have a QD attachment (I am willing to put a new flash suppressor on the weapon itself if need be)
I am looking for the toughest, lightest, shortest and the quietest suppressor that maintains or increases accuracy and has little to no POI shift.
I understand those requirements are unrealistic but I am looking for the best compromise.

I have done a lot of searching on here, through google, and on other forums. My research has me initially leaning towards a Surefire or an AAC, I have also heard good stuff about SRTARMS suppressors. However, I have never owned a suppressor so my knowledge is limited.

This will be used for general shooting and it might see some duty use in the future.

TIA for your time and assistance

If you have to have the shortest set-up available that will meet your other requirements, the Surefire FA556K is the way to go.

If you could go to a 12" barrel, the standard SureFire FA556 would be even better.

The SureFires are accurate, have a negligable POI shift, quick to install and remove, are good at reducing the sound signature, and are the most durable cans I have tried.

The only other one I would consider that could meet your needs is the Ops Inc can, if you can get one.

Best of luck.
