Overview

The LPM Torch earns its value ranking by doing two different jobs with one serialized suppressor. Run the solid end cap when sound reduction is the priority. Swap to the vented cap when less gas and a calmer action matter more. PEW Science measured a 35.9 composite Suppression Rating with the solid cap and 29.8 with the vented cap on a 10.3-inch MK18, so the trade is measurable rather than marketing copy.

The 14 oz H900 17-4 stainless body is not especially light, but it is short-barrel rated and uses the common HUB rear thread. The base model also includes a titanium 1/2x28 direct-thread adapter. Buyers who want a complete Rearden quick-detach package can choose the more expensive QD version, but the standard Torch is the better value if direct thread already fits the plan.

Key Features

Solid and vented flash-hiding end caps included
PEW Science MK18 testing in both configurations
H900 17-4 stainless fully welded construction
HUB 1.375x24 rear interface
Titanium 1/2x28 direct-thread adapter included
7.5-inch minimum barrel and full-auto rating

Pros

+The solid cap gives you strong muzzle suppression without locking you into a high-back-pressure setup
+The vented cap cuts gas and action speed when an untuned AR matters more than maximum quiet
+Both flash-hiding end caps come in the box, so changing the balance does not require another suppressor
+HUB rear threads accept a wide range of direct-thread and quick-detach mounts
+The included titanium 1/2x28 direct-thread adapter makes the base model ready for a standard 5.56 barrel
+A 7.5-inch minimum barrel rating leaves room for very short 5.56 hosts

Cons

−The $869 base price is a meaningful jump over the Polonium and Turbo T3
−The 14 oz body becomes 14.8 oz with the included direct-thread mount
−A 6.2-inch body is longer than compact K-class options
−The vented cap gives up a noticeable amount of sound suppression to reduce gas
−The 1.75-inch diameter is bulky under tight handguards or beside low-mounted accessories
