Oven mitts.

 

Burn proof gear makes great covers. Pricey, but the best is seldom cheap.

 

How hot are you talking? A few mags or a day long session?

For basic handling I have a small welding blanket/mitt. If you want a cover I’d second Burn Proof Gear recommendation.

 

I have to pile on for BPG, their covers while pricey, are of excellent quality. I suggest that for $10, you purchase an extra liner as it will help mitigate some of the felt heat. An oven mitt or similar will help for transport.

 

I have a burn proof cover on mine. For transport, use the hot pocket.

I use their rifle cases, scope & action covers, ammo wallets, ammo bags and their amazing waxed canvas smedium GameChanger bags.

 

I use welding gloves. Like the cheap $16.79 Rapicca Welding Gloves on Amazon..for anything related to handling the suppressor while it is hot. When I want to put the host/can away hot, and not wait for it to cool down, I use the Mechanix Suppressor Transport Bag.

It can be had for $13.99 on Amazon. I've gotten my 300blk suppressors red hot, put them in the STB, and drove right home without any cool-off period. No material burnt on to the suppressor, and I've never had issues with the heat coming through and effecting my range bags/cases.

I know this is a little older post. But have you still been able to find the STB that cheap? I was looking for them but they seem to be $40-$50 now.

 

I have Ove Gloves for removing and curling iron holders to use for storing on my rifle suppressor as it gets extremely hot. I also have a silicone mat thingy that I use sometimes when I just need to set it down when switching rifles.

My pistol suppressor never gets too hot to handle with my bare hands.

I just picked up one of those curling iron holders. No more burning my range bags!

 

I also use welding gloves that I picked up at Harbor Freight.

 

 

Lay it down. Let it cool
Shoot another while it does.
Still never got around to getting decent covers

I made the mistake of putting an sbr with a hot can in one of my normal rifle cases years ago. Got home and it was melted, stuck, all over gosh what a mess.

 

$13.99 on Amazon for the Mechanix Suppressor Transport Bag. The best investment you'll ever make. You can throw the STB over your can red hot, and drive right home. No melting. I've had my B&T and Surefire cans almost glowing, and the STB has held up perfect.

 

I usually let it cool down a bit, but it is also in a suppressor cover. Can’t recall the brand though. Also have a Banish suppressor pouch from Silencer central and mitt that came with it.

 

I use these.

The Jalapeño | Suppressor Cover – Dillon Rifle Company

The Jalapeño (Suppressor Cover) - Super green on the outside, hot on the inside. (Unless you order a different color.) You shoot a lot and your gun gets hot. Then, without thinking about it, you put your rifle into its case or some place else equally tender. We have mauled several rifle cases...

I just man up and use my pink oven mitts.

 

The forbidden popsicle…I use a Cole-Tac on my Q Mini fix it has a sleeve as well as the cover.

 

Cole-tac, that was the name I was forgetting. Thank you. I have two of these both with the extra inner heat sleeve. Duh, I should have just opened my safe to look but this work thing got in the way.

 

Have a couple suppressor covers for 30 cal and 5.56. Only reason I use them is that I'm the scumbag type that will do back-to-back Bill drills, El Presidente and so on and eventually after a second mag, the mirage will get bad enough to obscure my red dot.
I don't worry about having to remove it while hot, since I'll let it cool down and go shoot another rifle/pistol while it's cooling.
Absentmindedly grabbed my can once at a TNVC NV course once and never did that again. The thing was so hot that under nods the can looked like I had a white light on. Even one of the instructors told me to turn off my light and had to show him, nah hoss, that's a hot can. When I went to put my rifle in the rack it started to slide and I just instinctually reach to to grab it. Luckily only got a few fingers on it before dumb brain said to stop. Blistered tho...

 

I have and FHF gear for rifle cans. Seems to work great for that application even though it doesn't get rippin hot. (i'm not shooting 20 rds a min) Its also got a barrel cover to keep debris out when hunting which is handy

 

go to Amazon and look up Silicon BBQ gloves. I use those to help take it off. I've used a welding glove before and it got too hot for that. even if with the Silicon glove, it gets hot, but it helps with grip as well. if you really wanted some additional heat protection, you can wear a thick cotton glove under the silicon welding glove and take it off.

After that, I put it inside a silicon curling iron sleeve.

Now though when I know I'm going to be shooting a lot (like full auto) I have silicon mats (like the kids mats or project mats so that glue and stuff comes right off) and I line a 50 cal ammo can with that silicon mat (that way the heat won't transfer to the metal can as easily) and drop the suppressor in there. you can get a couple mats on amazon pretty cheap and double up on the layers.

I've melted quite a few suppressor cases and gun bags.

I purchased the above. So far so good but I'm not one that does mag dumps. The cover fits snug on my dead air nomad 30 and is just about perfect lengthwise. Seems like great quality and cheap enough to try out for the money.

 

Mini silicon oven mitt works for me and stows away small.

 

Hawk Tuah - Spit on that thang

 

I don’t remember when I got it but they were easy to work with and basically hand make each one.

 

I run my RC2s under a sink and call it a day

 

I use an oven mitt for my RC and put it in the surefire sleeve for transport.

 

These are my favorites. I let cool down for a bit before packing, or I use one of these pouches.

As some have said... I use an oven mitt when grabbing it, typically shoot supressed first, and then shoot unsuppressed while the suppressor is cooling off

 

Magpul makes a suppressor cover I've heard good things about, but $100 versus some cheap oven mitts is a tough pill. It's more style points at that rate (tho the twisted side of me thinks its metal to see a guy whip out grandmas red and white gloves to take off a can).

Also, kinda common sense, but don't immediately plop the suppressor back in its foam-lined box when you are done with it. I saw a guy burn 3 mags through a Galil and toss it in their foam case. The foam melted instantly and darn near welded itself to the barrel. I don't know if he ever got it off...

 

Sounds like a good reason to go do another 3 mag dumps into a trash pile to melt it off.
