Suppressors TBAC Fly9 and 300blk impressions?

[Capri_Man]

For those of you with the fly9, how does it sound on your 300blk pistol/sbr in the full configuration? Does it do well enough to not require stepping up to a larger 30cal suppressor like the tbac dominus or cgs hyperion?

Some dB data

8" bolt action 300 black, Subs are Ammo inc Stelth, supers are 110gr Vmax
Fly9 Short
Sub: 138.9 Muzzle
Super: 147 Muzzle

Fly9 Long
Sub: 130.5 Muzzle
Super: 135.5 Muzzle

Here's some feedback I got from a customer recently

The Fly 9 is easily far, far quieter to the human ear with .300 BLK subs from a 9??? barrel than my TDS Nocturnal is from a 10.3??? barrel.

And it only weighs 6.9 ounces with the 5/8-24 adapter in place of the booster.

My ear isn't good enough to give a comparison with supers.

My take on the Fly9 and 300BO is that it's what I choose if I want the absolute smallest/lightest package. Otherwise I usually shoot a Dominus

It sounds pretty good to my ears on a shorty 300 BLK bolt gun. Eventually I'll get around to a formal measurement, but it's not a priority at the moment.

Looks like you run the fly9 in its short configuration while on the rifle? Just how long is that barrel?

It's a 10.5" from KAK.

In its long configuration can you shoot it with out ear plugs comfortably?

With subs, I'd generally say that this is OK. Really depends upon the environment, your ears, and the number of rounds sent downrange in a session.

I know I'm resurrecting this thread but I officially took possession of my Fly9 yesterday. Today the silencerco direct thread alpha adaptor came in so I got to do a test fit on my 10.3" 300blk pistol. I'm looking foward to being able to give my input on this combo.

All with the same subsonic ammo (190 sub-x), One day I tried Gen1 Ultra5, Gen2 Ultra7, Dominus, Fly9 short and Fly9 long.

Between the Dominus, Ultra 7, and Fly 9 long I couldn't tell a difference.

G1 Ultra 5 and Fly9 short very similar with an edge to the Ultra 5. Both a little bit louder than the bigger configurations but still very shootable.

Didn't try supers.

Very interesting! And great to hear because my current thinking is if I am happy with the sound from the fly9 the Ultra 7 cb would be the easiest and cheapest option to get as the permanent 300blk suppressor. But at the same time if I can handle the weight, the Magnus S would get me the same length but larger diameter for more volume when compared to the fly9 or ultra7. The question then becomes which has more baffles?
