Precision Armament makes some of the most respected muzzle brakes in the industry. The M4-72. The Hypertap. The EFAB. They’ve been on the muzzle end of serious rifles for years. So when they announced their first suppressor, a 3D-printed titanium can called the TiTrex™, we wanted to know two things: Does it sound as good as it looks? And more importantly, is it actually built for how most of us shoot?
We ran it on three rifles, a 6.5 Creedmoor, a 300 Win Mag, and a 300 Blackout with subsonics, and here’s the honest breakdown.
What’s Actually Inside the Box
At 7.2 ounces for the body alone (9.2 fully loaded with the direct-thread mount and end cap), the TiTrex is genuinely light. It’s rated to .300 RUM with no barrel length restrictions, which matters if you’re running a short hunting rig or a hard-hitting magnum.
Out of the box you get two end caps, a flat cap and a single-port K-Brake style end cap, plus two spanner wrenches. The K-Brake is worth paying attention to. It’s designed to take some recoil off without wrecking the sound signature for the shooter. We tested it back to back with the flat cap and, as Caitlin found on the 300 Win Mag, there was a noticeable reduction in felt recoil. Not dramatic, but real.
The TiTrex™ is also HUB compatible and accepts SilencerCo Bravo-style front attachments, so if you already have a SilencerCo Anchor Break on a host rifle, you can run it. We tried exactly that on the 300 Win Mag. Honest take: it was comparable to the single-port K-Brake that already comes in the box. Worth knowing before you go spending money on another device.
How The TiTrex™ Performed Across Three Calibers
On the 6.5 Creedmoor at 400 yards, the TiTrex™ was impressive. We use steel at distance instead of steel at 100 yards specifically because it gives you that gap between the shot and the ping — you actually get to hear the suppressor work without the immediate feedback muddying everything. Jared’s words: “The only thing I’m really hearing is the bullet breaking the sound barrier, that supersonic crack, and then a few seconds later, the steel.” Clean. Controlled. No point-of-impact shift at 400 yards.
The 300 Win Mag is where we wanted to see how a 9-ounce titanium can holds up against a high-pressure cartridge. Short answer: it held up. Sound was good. Recoil reduction was real, especially with the K-Brake attached. This is going to be a legitimate hunting suppressor for people running hard-hitting bolt guns.
The 300 Blackout with subsonics was more of an experiment. An AR platform adds action noise that muddies the test, and titanium doesn’t love a fast round count. But the sound? On subsonics, it’s about as quiet as you’d want a 30-cal to get. Just don’t light up the whole mag in one string.
Titanium vs. Inconel: Which Version Do You Actually Need?
This is one of the most common questions we get, and the TiTrex™ makes it cleaner to answer because Precision Armament offers both: the 300Ti (titanium) and the 300SD with an Inconel core.
Titanium is really strong but it’s biggest enemy is heat. Once you get it heated up to a certain point it could potentially become brittle. So, it’s not ideal for rapid or long strings of fire but it does make for a very good choice for a hunting suppressor.
Hunters know in the field ounces equal pounds. So, when it comes to the weight difference between Inconel and titanium, the titanium is going to be a better choice to reduce weight but still retain rigidity to handle high-pressure rounds.
If you’re putting this on an AR and planning to push round count hard, Inconel is the right answer. It handles heat cycles better at high rates of fire.
As Jared noted in the video, he keeps a steel-core can on his 300 Win Mag specifically for those range days where he’s running 15-20 rounds in quick succession. That’s not what the 300Ti is designed for, but that’s where the Inconel would shine.
The Part That Actually Changes How You Think About Suppressor Ownership
Here’s what sets the TiTrex™ apart from most cans on the market: the serialized component isn’t the baffle core. It’s a stainless steel band called the Xband™, and the core can be replaced or upgraded without creating a new NFA item.
That means if you buy the 300Ti today and later wish you’d gone with the 300SD Inconel core for harder use, you can swap it. The X-CORE™ system enables complete core replacement while keeping your original ATF-registered serialized component intact, no new stamp, no new transfer. Precision Armament has indicated replacement cores run roughly 30-40% of the full suppressor cost. That’s significant when you’re talking about a $1,199 can.
It also means if you ever take a baffle strike or do real damage to the internals, you’re not necessarily buying a whole new suppressor. That changes the long-term math on ownership.
The Honest Take
The TiTrex 300Ti ideal use cases are for running it on bolt guns, moderate round counts, for hunters, and for precision shooters who want lightweight, good sound performance, and noticeable recoil reduction. If that’s your world, it delivers, and with a design that gives you more flexibility down the road if you ever need it.
If you’re running an AR or shooting full-auto, look at the Inconel version. Precision matters in matching suppressors to use cases, and this one isn’t built for every scenario, which is exactly how we know it’s built well for the right ones.
