Omega 9K 1st can. Meh.

All this.

Running the can wet will help the 1st shot or 2 as well. Rem oil or wire pulling gel (one that evaporates clean) are good.

Wet, eh? I forgot about that.

I think I read water can work, but of course can lead to corrosion an doesn't stay in the can as long as oil. Right?

How about a spritz of olive / vegetable oil? Seriously.

Dont use veg oil. It will leave a residue and go rancid, and make a whole mess... it gets nasty.

Water is nice because it doesnt smoke (the steam dissipates much faster), and is quite effective.

Right, good point. Thanks.

I compared the Omega 9k vs DA Wolfman and thought the Wolfman would be a much better choice.

The DA is very versatile and can be run in short and long config. Friend got both. I tried them on my Banshee 8”. The wolfman in short config is quieter than the 9K with subs and supers.

I couldn’t tell the difference between the short and long configs with subs by the way.

I've never found any of my suppressors on any of my hosts to be quiet per se except 22. subsonic. The noise & blast reduction makes the experience significantly more pleasant and enjoyable. Indoors on the rare occasion I want to get inside with poor weather outside, suppressors are a godsend, especially on any long gun.

Yessir, even a few drops of whatever brand CLP, a bead of grease, a smear of Vaseline, or 3cc of water can improve performance noticeably.

I’ll check tomorrow. I bet it’ll work. As to water, I’ve submerged these things and drained them, and also swished them in rainwater, and its been fine. Lube the bolt afterward, because the steam does come back.

Some oils and hydrocarbons leave more filth than others.

I've now got a .22lr, 5.56 and 7.62 cal. cans paid for and in process.

"When should I order the suppressors I want?'

Answer: "12 months ago."

Now you’ve got the idea. A proper pistol can is next.

I dunno yet. I found a can meant for .32 acp I could shoot .32 and also .25 acp through if I get Beretta barrel threaded.

And while I'm selling off some .45 acp pistols I've got a Beretta96A1 .40 I'm going to put an RDS on. Perhaps someone makes a threaded barrel for that?

Really though, I think I'm going to get the most enjoyment from cans on rifle calibers and the .22-.32's.

Edited to add:
.40 through a .45 can would be louder than 9mm through a 9mm can. .25 acp through a .32 can louder than .22 through a .22 can. So I think I can drop those ideas.

If I do the .25, I need a .22 can bored and marked to be a .25 can. .25 uses fast powders. Could suppress better than .22lr. I dunno. Want to try.

Ecco Cheetah?

I wouldn’t worry too much about the .25 being underbore for a .32 can, given that its prolly a teensie short blowback gun.
