I’ve been trying to get my hands on a warden for a while now and with them being discontinued it’s looking less likely. Is the strike industries oppressor, dead air pyro, Q whistle tip, or similar brands worth the price?
Best Alternative To Surefire Warden?

The absolute best alternative is the can that goes on that brake.
In my opinion, the best option would be to just swap your brake for a flash hider unless you’re running suppressed. Otherwise the juice ain’t worth the squeeze. You’re just adding a bunch of weight to the front of the gun for nothing.
This. Run a solid 3-4 prong flash hider.
If you’re planning on a can, get one that mates to it. Otherwise there are solid non-suppressor options from Surefire, AAC, Smith Enterprise, Wilson Combat, and more.
Of course, you can run something like the Silencerco ASR 3-prong and not use a can. I have those on all my AR’s, because I own Silencerco cans, but I can’t remember the last time I actually put a can on the end.
Suppressor
If you want a QD blast diverter like the warden the best option on the market is the Griffin Armament QD blast diverter it’s compatible with there muzzle devices ( they have a three prong as well as some brakes and comps) as well as milspec A2 flash hiders
Start waiting now. I wish I had taken that advise 10 years ago. Go with a suppressor...SO much:
Once you buy it, forget about it. That’s the best thing you can do.
Maybe you get lucky. The ATF said 7 months is the average right now. I might have my .22lr can by Christmas.
