Silencerco .45 Osprey or AAC Ti-rant .45 (.45)

SilencerCo SS Sparrow or AAC Element 2 (.22)

I'm leaning towards the bolded. I know AAC is very popular, but there are things I like about each one.

On the 7.62 and 5.56 I really like Surefire's fast-attach system.

On the Osprey .45, it's unique looking and sits lower as to not affect standard sites.

On the Sparrow I've heard it's just much easier to clean, which is obviously more important on a .22 can.

I'm also still trying to figure out if I should get a dedicated 5.56 can, or just use the 7.62.

Thoughts?
Surefire cans are awesome if you don't mind shelling out the extra cash! I would get a 7.62 first and if you're satisfied with it on your 5.56 then just call it a day. I've never thought there was that big of a difference when putting a 7.62 on a 5.56. You wouldnt be disappointed with the SF cans though, I've witnessed the Mini 5.56 next to the M42K and they had the same amount of decibel reduction to my ears ( def. shouldn't be that way cause the M4 is 1 in. longer ). Just goes to show the quality product they put out

As far as pistol suppressors go Id lean towards the AAC, but haven't used the SilencerCo before, not sure how many threaded pistols you have besides the FNH 45 where the sights would interfere. The Tirant 45 is a great can, and its super lightweight. Elements good also cause it can handle the different calibers besides 22 LR, not sure about the Sparrow
