Description
Anyone who has stretched a suppressed rifle out past a few hundred yards knows the drill. A handful of strings downrange and your can is cooking, heat waves start boiling up through your scope, and suddenly your target looks like it's underwater. The Cole-TAC HTP (High Temperature Python) Suppressor Cover was built to fix exactly that problem, and it has become the company's bestselling cover for good reason.
What Makes the HTP Cover Different
The HTP is a two-part system. Underneath sits a high temperature inner tube rated to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is why Cole-TAC calls this the cover you can let loose on. Mag dumps, fast strings, sustained fire, it's designed to take the abuse. Over that goes the Metal Python outer shell in genuine MultiCam Cordura, a rugged fabric that shrugs off water and abrasion while keeping your rifle's camo scheme consistent from muzzle to buttstock. Together the layers knock down mirage and cut how much heat radiates outward, which also means fewer singed packs, slings, and forearms when you're moving with a hot can.
Retention That Holds Up to Recoil
Plenty of covers work fine until they start walking forward under recoil. Cole-TAC's answer is the BOA locking strap system, a mechanical cinch that clamps the cover to your suppressor and keeps it from creeping or rotating while you shoot. Snug it down properly and it stays where you put it, so you can keep your head in the optic instead of fussing with your gear between strings.
Fitting the HTP 7.5 Inch Cover to Your Can
This version measures 7.5 inches long and fits suppressors from 1 to 2 inches in diameter, which covers a huge range of popular rimfire, 5.56, and .30 caliber cans. Measure your suppressor's actual length and diameter before ordering rather than trusting spec sheets, since a proper fit is what makes the BOA system work its best. At just 5.4 ounces, it adds meaningful protection without noticeably changing how your rifle handles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Cole-TAC HTP cover fit my suppressor?
This version is 7.5 inches long and fits suppressors between 1 and 2 inches in diameter, which includes most popular centerfire rifle cans. Measure your actual suppressor rather than relying on the published spec sheet, since real-world dimensions sometimes differ. If your can runs shorter than 7.5 inches, a bit of cover may extend past the end, so matching length closely gives the cleanest fit.
Can I do mag dumps or rapid fire with the HTP suppressor cover on?
Yes, that is the whole point of this model. The inner tube is rated to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit and the design is suited to sustained and full auto fire. Cole-TAC built the HTP specifically for people who wanted a cover they could run hard without babying it.
How does the BOA strap system keep the cover from sliding?
The BOA straps are mechanical locking cinches that clamp the cover directly to the suppressor body instead of relying on fabric tension alone. Once tightened properly, the cover resists creeping forward or rotating under recoil. It is one of the more secure retention setups on the market and a big reason the Metal Python shell earned its following.
Does a suppressor cover really reduce mirage that much?
It makes a noticeable difference, especially with magnified optics. A hot can sits right in your line of sight, and rising heat waves distort the image before you ever see the target. The HTP's insulated layers trap that heat so your sight picture stays crisp, and as a bonus you are far less likely to brand yourself on a hot suppressor during transitions or when packing up.
