I would think the Ti cans would get really hot compared to SS

These need names! Please identify your family. Thanks.
belrose, It all depends on where you are. Where are you? Buying a can is a process, currently a 5-12 month process. Its not difficult if you have a clean record, in fact, generally speaking, if you are qualified to buy a gun, you will likely be ok in buying a suppressor.
Mine does not change point of impact. And I do not like the ratchet ones. U have to have the adaptor on your rifle and it looks silly to me. I just screw mine on and off the old fashioned way
I don't know but that's why they make suppressor covers. And my SS one gets pretty hot

Covers keep the heat in and I want the can to cool down. Unless I am in a burn risk situation or the mirage is bad, I keep my cans uncovered.

I agree. I don't keep mine covered but when I want to switch. I can put it on and unscrew without burning my hand

Titanium holds heat much longer than stainless. It may take a little longer to get hot but it takes way longer to cool down. Typically the increased strength of TI means the parts can be much thinner which helps but holding heat is just a property of titanium.
This is a test on a TI outer sleeve of a can, although none of us will probably push a can this hard, watch how the sleeve heats up.

Those are all AAC cans. L-r. .22 element, 9mm ti-rant, 45 ti-rant, 5.56 m4-2000, 7.62sd qd, 7.62 cyclone, .338 Titan, and .338 qd TiTan.
My accuracy has improved when shooting these because the muzzle blast and noise reduction helped me eliminate a flinch from the big bores. Also completely changes recoil impulse on a .338 lapua/trg42. Only cans not pictured is my gem tech ump,45 can and the thunder beast .338ba that I'm waiting on a tax stamp. I run the qd cans on semi guns and the thread on cans on bolt guns with the exception of the Titan qd that's on the trg. Accuracy with the Titan qd is exceptional on or off no difference in group size with a minor poi shift .2mil. Like I said I never shoot without a can now.

I am in Texas and I also have my CHL I shoot a 300 wsm mountain TI with a 22'' barrel and quiet would sure be nice
Unless you are a materials engineer or inorganic chemist specializing in specific heat capacities, you might not have the credentials to make blanket statements like this. "way longer" and "just a property of titanium" are not accurate. Please be careful with your words.
Titanium cans are generally significant lighter, a major selling point over a steel built can. Most every manufacturer producer builds reliable Ti cans. If you can afford a Ti can, I think most experienced users would advise Ti is the way to go. Buy Ti or wait until you can afford to buy Ti.

Great! Texas is good - NFA friendly with bunch of title II dealers. Check out some of the more suppressor populated forums. These links are good for data mining.
Awesome! You are the man.

Im no material engineer or metalurgist but i have significant experience machining and welding titanium and many of blisters due to its ability to hold heat.
As well as a few references from experts.

If you would take a minute to review the links i posted you will see that the thermal conductivity of TI is aprx 1/3 of 304 SS. So may statements were not really blanket statements at all, but rather just put in to layman's terms.
Also if you view major manufactures sites, the materials used on suppressors for machine gun applications will typically be 304, 316, 17-4, and monels such as 718 inconel and k-500. All metals that have great strength at evevated temperatures, good thermal conductivity as well as very high corrosion resistance that i have significant experience with.
