I have a Gemtech Outback II, an Tatical Innovations Quest, and an AAC Pilot. I have to say that I like them all. I think that the Gemtech is an excellent suppressor for a first time buyer. The construction is superb and the level of suppression is hard to beat. A lot of first time buyers get either the Outback or the Pilot. I really don't think you can go wrong with either, but the clinching factor for me is the customer service reputation that Gemtech has. They are known for outstanding service. T.I. makes some fine suppressors, and they can be disassembled for cleaning, but I got the Quest because it is all stainless and is rated for full auto fire. It also costs about double what the Outback or Pilot does.
