I have been looking at suppressors for my ILM Zion 15 16” in 556. There are three at my local that use the silencer shop kiosk.
Q trash Panda or Thunder Chicken
Dead Air Nomad
YHM Resonator or Resonator R2
Any thoughts or recommendations?

This one is loud and will blow peoples hair back .. It does hold on target really well…Easy on and off with Silencer..

I went with a CAT WB718 on my Tavor.
It’s a 3D printed titanium unit that is “flow through” meaning the baffles are vented into the next to reduce back pressure while still reducing the report.
Any suppressor on a semiautomatic will increase back pressure and be harder on the action, as well as producing more gasses from the ejection port right in your face.
Of the three you listed, I can only say I’ve heard of dead air, and what I’ve heard was good.

An add on to this subject.
Suppressor Bore Allinement Rod. This product is to make sure your Suppressor is correctly mounted onto the barrel. It’s been found, some aftermarket barrels, the thread seat may not be square with the bore and there will not be clearance in the bore of the Suppressor (one side or the other) and your projectile may impact the bore of the Suppressor. A good gunsmith may be able to correct this problem.
Just one safety point needed before using new barrels or a new Suppressor.
P.S. - Dead Air Suppressors are top knock.
