The latest revision of the Gemtech Dagger has some upgrades in terms of both weight and sound reduction, being 1.5oz lighter and 2 decibels quieter. But the first thing you'll probably notice is the updated silencer body. Gemtech added convenient wrench flats to the base, as well as a pre-drilled hole for those that wish to blind pin the Dagger in place. Complete specifications include: Caliber: .30, .300 WIN MAG Sound Reduction: 30dB Diameter: 1.5″ Length: 8.8″ Weight: 14.8oz Mount Thread Mount: 5/8-24 Material: Titanium Full Auto Rated: Yes Finish: High Temp Black Cerakote Gemtech anticipates shipping the latest revision to distributors within the week, and no doubt you'll be able to see it firsthand if you're attending the 2017 NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA.
