If you are happy with large pistol cans, get the Fly45. The Fly9 was made the smallest and lightest we could and still get performance about identical with the other bestest 9mm cans.

The Fly9 is extremely small, especially in the short configuration, like, you barely notice it on a Glock 19 without the module.

I am not sure what the relation is between the overall O.D. of the Fly9 and 45 being different, and if there's a reason for the Fly9 to exist, so I'm just answering this in a straightforward way.
 
I don't think we have those first two, but we have a Wolfman.

PCC (CMMG carbine), HUSH/STELTH 165gr, dB numbers quoted MSL / MSR / EAR
FLY9 120 / 121 / 126
WLFMN 120 / 121 / 126
^^ in other words, the exact same.

Same but for 147gr ammo (full power)
FLY9 122 / 125 / 131
WLFMN 120 / 126 / 133
^^ in other words, Wolfman suppressed better 2 dB @ muzzle, but was 2 dB worse at shooter's ear due to the tradeoff of the muzzle pressure vs. backpressure. Fly9 is already F/A rated for pistol calibers.

We'll have to get one of those larger ones to see if they are any quieter @ muzzle or ear than the ones we have metered.

Now as far as the Magnus goes, we have made a couple .375 Magnuses for .375 H&H, and I have shot it extensively on a MP5K. I never metered it but it did sound great. If we get caught up with regular orders, we "can" do a run of Magnuses with a hole larger than .30, if we get a critical mass of orders for them. Before anyone gets too excited, let me meter that .375-cal one on an MP5 to see what its numbers actually are.

The idea of a big-bore Dominus still appeals to me on some sort of primal level. I want a light can to screw onto something like a .45-70 or .450 BM short boi.
 
I just want all my suppressors to sound like the sniper from clear and present danger on the live stalk. Is that so unrealistic? Jeez.... 🙄🤷


Ask and you shall receive!

But that doesn't fit in my 375 Raptor, lol

Learn to shoot better and then maybe you won't need such a big cartridge, newb.

Last week, I did a full-auto mag dump through a 10.5" barrel and OSS 556K in the backyard range while my wife was standing 25m away on the patio. She did not feel that any part of this experience constituted "silence".
