Suppressors Analysis Paralysis - 9mm can

[Rerun7]

Ok - so I’ve been reading through threads but haven’t seen this directly answered. Been searching for weeks for my first can. I’m starting with a 9mm can for primary use on a PCC and will also use it on 300BO subs and 350 legend.

I’ve narrowed down to I think three primary options but finding direct comparisons hasn’t been easy. Anyone have experience with these and can give insights?

Priorities:
1. Maximum sound suppression
2. Covers 9mm, 300BO and 350 Legend
3. Weight

Current contenders:
1. TBAC Fly 9
2. Dead Air Mojave 9
3. OCL Lithium

Would like to hear any experiences/thoughts on these, positive and negative.

The Fly 9 is never a bad choice.

There's a Mojave 9 showing up by the end of this week and I look forward to giving it a try.

Fly9 is priced retarded higher than elephant pussy...and I'm a TBAC fan
Kgm smg9 is a sleeper.

Well look what FedEx dropped off this morning:

I just picked up a griffin bushwhacker 36 to use on a 9mm pcc. I wanted one you could take apart to clean bc I’ll be shooting hardcast through it. They also make a sportsman 36 which I think has slightly better sound suppression and is a welded baffle design so it’s lighter and cheaper than the one I got. Might be worth looking into.

Rugged Obsidian is worth a look. I opted for the 45 over the 9 for more versatility.

Report back when you get a chance to shoot it. I’m starting to lean that direction. Just curious if it’s worth the cost over the Lithium.

You do you, but if it was me and I was looking for a can for SMGs and PCCs I'd be shopping for a larger SMG can. I have the FLY 9, Fly 45, Octane 45, PTR Vent 2, GSL Phoenix, B&T 9mm SD K can, and a Form 1 45 cal that is pretty identical to the Octane 45.

For a pistol can, the Fly 9 is my favorite can. For a PCC it's split between the Phoenix and Vent 2. The Phoenix is quiet as shit but it's like having a 2ltr coke bottle on the end of your gun. The Vent 2 is the quietest can I've shot on a pistol, but it's almost more a SMG can. It's a bit large for a pistol, but kinda thin for a PCC. I'm not a fan of the 1.5" x 8" 'tweeners because they seem like a compromise on both sides. The only thing that saves the Vent 2 from that judgement is how quiet it is.

Might be worth looking at the HuxWrx offerings. If you wanted straight pistol for 9mm and some of the rifles from time to time the Flow 9k TI wouldn’t be bad or if you wanted more versatility to use rifle rounds also then the Flow Range 36 would work.

For PCC, go for volume.

For PCC and Subsonic Blackout, go for volume.

For a pistol...meh, they're all pretty decent and have very limited utility.

The Dead Air Wolfman, while old, is a very nice 9mm and subsonic 300 blackout can. I actually use mine on a supersonic 300 blackout and i'm pretty darned happy with it.

Do you want a sealed can or something that can be taken apart for cleaning? That will also further narrow the field.

 

[USK308]

For my 9mm pistol, I run a Rugged Obsidian 9. SILLY QUIET (IMO)...

M17 with Rugged Obsidian 9 suppressor (BPG Custom Heavy suppressor cover)

 

[Rerun7]

the Obsidian and RS9 have also been on my radar. I’ve gone back and forth about 10x.

Since I don’t currently have a suppressor and no way to shoot any of these I may be over thinking it.

 

[Rob01]

Don’t worry you will have more after your first. lol

 

[Rerun7]

Don’t worry you will have more after your first. lol

Haha - I know that’s right! Starting with this 9mm and then planning a .30cal and .22 to cover most things. From there I’m sure there are gonna be duplicates.

 

[Rob01]

That HuxWrx 36 up top will handle all that except for the .22LR. They say you can but I don’t like sending that much crap into a can.

 

[Zebulon]

Well not the best choice for your needs per se? But I have a banish 45 from silencer central

It is fantastic

Seconded on the Wolfman.

 

[Rerun7]

Well…. Got tired of swapping back and forth on what I should get so I just pulled the trigger on a Mojave 9.

Seems to be on par with all the others on sound suppression, lighter, self serviceable and will shoot 9mm, 300BO supers/subs + 350 legend.

Now onto the search for my next two, haha.

I just got the Hux Flow 9Ti in and I effing love it. If you're using a non-browning action, no booster needed, it's super light, especially with a HUB to direct thread mount. I recommend the Diligent Defense titanium adapters. They're like half the price of other stainless steel adapters. I had no FTF's or FTE's, direct mount, on my Beretta thus far. It just runs and runs a lot cleaner than my Sig canister with traditional baffles.

As Rob01 mentioned, it's also good for 300 blackout. The weight difference between the Flow 9Ti and my RD CS3 in Haynes 282 is like 12oz. You definitely feel the extra weight of the RD on the end of the barrel. I have no doubt the CS3 will ultimately be more quiet than the Huxwrx but for a pretty much full-size pistol suppressor, 5oz with the direct thread adapter is pretty damn awesome.

I love the fact it has wrench flats on the front. It's easy to clean. Soak it and then shoot it out. Really nothing not to like.

That 9Ti will most likely be my next one, mainly for the 9mm sub and .300 w/supers.
