Description
Anyone who has spent time behind a suppressed rifle knows the drill. A few strings of fire and that can is throwing off enough heat mirage to turn your sight picture into a funhouse mirror. The Cole-TAC Metal Python Suppressor Cover exists to fix that, and it does the job better than most covers on the market. This 6 inch MultiCam version fits suppressors with 1 to 2 inch diameters, and the pattern blends right in with camo furniture and field gear.
Why the Metal Python Stays Put
The big complaint with most suppressor covers is creep. They loosen up after a heat cycle or two and start walking down the can, and suddenly you are fussing with your cover instead of watching your target. Cole-TAC solved this by combining the metal buckles from their Summit cover with the BOA locking straps from their Python cover. Cinch it down and it stays exactly where you put it, shot after shot. The BOA system also gives you some flexibility, since the straps let the cover stretch over time and swap onto similarly sized cans if you run more than one suppressor.
Built to Take the Heat
The inner tube is rated to 1800°F, which handles normal shooting schedules like precision work, hunting, and steady range sessions without breaking a sweat. The outer shell is 1000 denier Cordura nylon, so it shrugs off abrasion, water, fading, rot, and mildew, and the whole thing is sewn together with fire-resistant thread. One thing worth knowing before you buy: this cover is built for deliberate shooting, not mag dumps or sustained rapid fire. If you plan on running your can hard and fast, step up to Cole-TAC's HTP cover with the 3000°F liner instead.
Metal Python Cover for 6 Inch Cans
For bolt guns, hunting rifles, and semi-autos shot at a reasonable pace, this is one of the best-regarded covers out there. Cole-TAC sews these in the USA and backs them with a warranty that owners consistently praise. Kill the mirage, save your knuckles, and stop chasing a cover down your suppressor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Metal Python cover slip or rotate on my suppressor when it heats up?
No, and that is the whole point of this design. The BOA locking straps paired with metal buckles cinch the cover down tight and keep it locked in place through repeated heat cycles. Owners who run these covers across multiple suppressors report they hold position without walking or rotating, which is a common issue with cheaper elastic or lace-up covers.
Can I use the Cole-TAC Metal Python for rapid fire or mag dumps?
No, this cover is not built for that kind of abuse. The 1800°F liner handles precision shooting, hunting, and normal-paced range sessions just fine, but sustained rapid fire generates more heat than it is designed to take. If full auto or fast strings are in your plans, look at Cole-TAC's HTP cover, which uses the same shell with a 3000°F rated inner tube.
What size suppressors does the 6 inch Metal Python fit?
This version is sized for suppressors up to 6 inches in length with body diameters between 1 and 2 inches. That covers a wide range of popular rimfire and compact centerfire cans. The BOA straps also give you some adjustment room, so the cover can move between similarly sized suppressors if you own more than one.
Does a suppressor cover really help with heat mirage?
Yes, and it is one of the main reasons precision and long-range folks run them. A hot suppressor throws shimmering heat waves straight up through your optic's line of sight, which distorts the target badly at distance. The insulated liner in the Metal Python traps that heat so your sight picture stays clean, and it also protects your hands and gear from contact burns.
