I just picked up a Marlin 1984 SPL in 357/39 SPL, which is just as beautiful of a rifle as I'd hoped it would be. The only 9mm suppressor I currently have is an AAC Ti-Rant 9, which is very quiet but I'm wanting to get something that can handle 357 mag and that is a little better tailored to this application. I'm wanting something shorter and fatter that will add less length and hopefully still be about as quite as my Tr-Rant 9. I would also use the can on my 9mm AR and potentially on my 300 BLK AR and Ruger American. I already have an Omega 300 that I assume would probably work better on my 300 BLK, but it would be nice to get something that can be used with 300 BLK. I plan to only use it direct thread and not get a piston set up as can just use for handguns.
The shop I picked up the Marlin from tried to convince me to buy the Rugged Alaskan 360, they had it in stock in both steel and titanium version. The steel version is actually still light weight especially if I get a titanium direct thread rear end cap. But everything I've heard in the past is that a "Do it all can" won't be as good at anything as a can intended for that purpose. Would the Alaskan 360 actually be as quiet on 38 SPL and 9mm as a can built with the primary focus on being a 9mm PCC can like the OCL Lithium 9? I'm also assuming it wouldn't sound as good on a 308 or 6.5 bolt gun as my Omega 300. But the reviews I've seen claim it sounds good on just about everything so that has me tempted. If I get a dedicated PCC can I'll end up getting another 30 cal can at some point so I can have more than one rifle suppressed at a time when shooting rifles.
The main PCC cans I am thinking about:

The main PCC cans I am thinking about:
- OCL Lithium 9 - Very light weight and a good price for a full titanium can.
- AB F4L 9mm - Very light weight and good price. Con: it's not rated for 300 BLK supers.
- YHM R9 - It's heavier than the rest, but very short, it's the cheapest and all the reviews I've seen on it are very positive.
- Energetic Sonus 9 - This doesn't seem to be as good of a value as it's heavier than the Lithium of F4L and cost just as much. But the wipe holder in the end cap has me wondering would it be worth it to be able to run a wipe sometimes for shits and giggles/wow factor on being crazy quiet. But part of me thinks that just gimmicky and I wouldn't actually go through the trouble of running a wipe after trying it once.
