Diligent Defense Enticer L-Ti Review: The king of coyote hunter cans

What it is

The Enticer L-Ti is a full-size .30-cal titanium suppressor from Diligent Defense Co. (DDC). It's 8.25" long, 1.625" in diameter, and weighs 10.5 oz with the included direct-thread mount. It's rated for 7.62 NATO, 300 BLK, 300 Win Mag and anything smaller, so both of my Creedmoors are well within spec.

It uses the common 1-3/8x24 rear thread, so you can run direct-thread, Q, Keymo or Rearden mounts. The end cap is removable and takes Dead Air end caps. Street price is around $765.

How I used it

I've been running the Enticer L-Ti on two dedicated hunting rifles: a 22-inch 6.5 Creedmoor and a 20-inch 22 Creedmoor. Both have one job, calling coyotes on private ground in western Wisconsin. That job shapes how I judge a suppressor.

Most of the ground I hunt belongs to landowners who've given me permission, and it borders other people's property. Every shot I take carries over to houses, livestock and neighbors who never asked to hear it. A quieter rifle keeps that access, keeps neighbors from calling the sheriff at 9 p.m., and makes me a better guest on someone else's land. For me, suppression is more about being a good neighbor than chasing a number.

What the independent data says

I don't trust marketing claims on suppressors, and you shouldn't either. The most credible source I know is PEW Science, an independent lab that measures raw sound data and scores suppressors by how the human ear actually responds.

PEW tested the Enticer L-Ti on a 20-inch .308 bolt gun. DDC helped fund that test, which PEW openly disclosed. The can scored a 51.9 Suppression Rating. At the time, that was the highest score at the shooter's ear PEW had recorded on that rifle, beating much heavier cans.

PEW was also straight about the trade-offs. A couple of bigger cans are quieter to bystanders at the muzzle. First-round pop is noticeable. Back pressure is on the high side. That's a non-issue on a bolt gun, but worth knowing if you plan to run it on a gas gun.

You can read PEW's full report.

PEW didn't test 6.5 or 22 Creedmoor, so what follows is my own field experience, not lab data.

On the 6.5 Creedmoor

This is the quietest .30-cal suppressor I've run on my 6.5. It's light, it's quiet, and at around $765 it's a very reasonable buy for what it delivers.

The best feedback hasn't come from me behind the rifle. It's come from the buddies I hunt with. On open-field shots, they've commented more than once on how quiet it is.

It isn't magic, though. Like any suppressor, if I'm set up close to a tree line or buildings, the shot cracks and echoes off those surfaces and is more noticeable. Part of that is the supersonic bullet itself, which no suppressor can quiet. In open country, it shines.

On the 22 Creedmoor

The 22 Creedmoor is the rifle I hunt coyotes with the most. It runs about 250 fps faster than my 6.5 Creedmoor, and the shot is louder for it, with a sharper supersonic crack.

Even so, the Enticer L-Ti is still one of my favorite cans to hunt with on this rifle, for the same reasons: it's light, it's quiet, and it's fairly priced.

Compared with my AEM5

I also run an AEM5, and for this kind of hunting the Enticer beats it on two counts.

Weight. The AEM5 is noticeably heavier, and I feel it at the end of a long day of calling.

Mounting. My AEM5 needs a barrel with a special taper to accept its thread-and-collar design. The Enticer runs on the common 1-3/8x24 rear thread with a standard 5/8x24 direct-thread adapter, so it moves between rifles without a trip to the gunsmith.

For a lightweight setup I can swap between both Creedmoors, the Enticer wins.

The trade-off

Length. Hanging 8.25 inches of can off a 22-inch barrel makes for a long rifle. You'll feel it climbing into a blind or getting in and out of the truck.

For my use, I'll take that every time, because the suppression is worth the extra length. If you're running a short truck gun or a tight-quarters setup, the shorter Enticer S-Ti is worth a look, but PEW's data shows it gives up some suppression.

The number that matters most

I've killed hundreds of coyotes with this suppressor and haven't received a single complaint from a landowner or neighbor. For a predator hunter who depends on private-land access, that says more than any spec sheet.

Bottom line

If you hunt predators around people, livestock or neighbors who don't love gunfire, the Enticer L-Ti is easy to recommend. It's light for how quiet it is, it's priced fairly, and credible independent testing backs it up.

After hundreds of coyotes and zero complaints, it has earned its place on my rifle.
