I’m an AAC fan so I would say Ti-Rant 9. Trident 9 or Gemtech Multi Mount would be good if you want to throw it on different guns ie glock and the mp5/k. What is your criteria for length, weight, price, sound reduction, and material? Check out silencerresearch.com Subsonic ammo is usually good except for AR they will not cycle the bolt. For 9mm I would try and find Special K
Your budget is good you can get pretty much any suppressor on the market. I personally never saw a reason to suppress 40 as its a little bit more difficult to do compared to the 45 or 9. A subgun can is nice but kind of ridiculous on a pistol because of its size. The Agenda Six is a nice can and has pretty good suppression due to its large volume. I would seriously consider the TiRant 9 but like I said if its going on multiple weapons get the Trident 9 or Multimount
AAC TiRant 9, Gemtech Tundra or Gemtech Multimount. You can’t go wrong with any although the TiRant 9 will set you back a little more but it is the most quiet.
Yep prices for the Tirant series cans were reduced…sucks for the class III dealers who are sitting on cans that are retailing cheaper than what they paid for them at dealer cost
A lot depends on what is available. You can buy on the internet but the dealers have to transfer on a Form 3 causing additional delays. I have a YHM Cobra 2 that went pending at BATFE on 11/19/09; I hope to have the approved stamp in another month or so (I’m an optomist). I went with the YHM because it seems quiet enough for what I want, the price was right ($498), and it comes apart for cleaning and service (probably not necessary but I like it). This will go in my end of the world bag with my Glock 34 and 6 mags loaded with Ranger 147 grain FMJ. It will come out just for fun.
I would have considered the Outback Tundra, but none were available when I was looking. It costs more than the YHM and I’m glad now that I went with the Cobra. I found it in a local shop and it was leass than MSRP (I haven’t seen suppressors less than MSRP before). I bought it spur of the moment, but I am glad to support a local shop when I can. It will meet my needs.
Sometimes the videos can be decieving about sound reduction based on the location of the microphone. Here is a side by side comparison of the Multi Mount and Cobra 2. The MM seems quiter to me, especially on the first round, but the Cobra 2 is pretty quiet too.
I have a Tundra I use on a 226 and USP. I’m very happy with it. Add a little wire pulling gel and it’s like a suppressed 22. The only down side to it is that you are stuck with 1/2x28 or 13.5x1.
My next pistol can will be a Multimount to give more host options.
Im with you. The 9mm cans wil be shipping to the dealers in a week. I already paid for one, for my G19 none-the-less. Some dealers that got some demo 9mm ospreys reported they sounded like a suppressed P22!:eek:
180 gr .40 is subsonic and is widely available. It shouldn’t be any harder to suppress than a .45, if a quality suppressor is used. I can see a 9mm being slightly better to suppress, due to less powder/muzzle report. However, that slight advantage is quickly disappearing due to better suppressor designs (Osprey).
