9mm Silencer?

Post by loranger »

Im looking to pick up a 9mm can to use on a future 9mm sbr build, m&p 15-22, and possibly my xd-m if I can find a threaded barrel for it. I have been going back and forth between the aac tirant 9 or the gemtech gm-9. Both look to be user serviceable so I can use them on my .22 but just not sure which would work better. I already have a sdn-6 so I don't think I would use it on my 300 sbr but its possible. Any first hand accounts of either one?

I have the full size Tirant on my M&P9. Up until Friday, it was my only can, and I've never shot any other can, but I like it a lot. It's a PITA to get apart though, I wouldn't put it on a 22.

Take a hard look at the SWR Octane. Either in 9mm or 45. The 9mm will be a little smaller but the 45 gives the option of being used on more guns.

I have the Octane45 and a TiRant 9s. Not really apples to apples sense the 9s is a "mini can". Both are well made. I personally like the Octane baffle stack better then the TiRants.

The octanes baffles click together and prevent carbon build up on the inside of the tube. The Tirants K baffles dont donthis and allow crap on the inside surface of the tube. This can make it a PITA to get the baffles out for cleaning

Also, the Octane has more adaptor options. So its easier to mate to different hosts.

Another GOOD option is the Mystic X. I dont have one yet but its prob my next suppresor purchase.

Have an Octane 45 and two Evo 9s. The Octane 45 is great, and the Evo 9s were cheap, especially with the $200 AAC store credit. My next pistol can will probably be an Osprey, as the sights being obfuscated by the can bugs me a bit. I'd also ditto previous remarks about buying a 45 can, vs a 9, for your first pistol can. 45 is quiet and fun to shoot. My next pistol can will probably be an Osprey 45, or 45k.

Regarding use for 22, I wouldn't make that too much of a criteria. Just focus on buying the best pistol can possible. Later, you can get a 22 can... or several of them. 22 is way too much fun to shoot suppressed, and you don't want a 10oz 7" can hanging off your little rimfire, when a 4oz 4-inch 22 can will be quieter.

Replies to your post are spot on.
The time it takes to finally receive your suppressor, the last thing you want is inferior materials.
I choose the Octane 9 a couple of years ago for having the most durable internal and exterior materials.
Serviceability ranks right up there.

***Remember your tube is serialize and can not be replaced.

As stated the adaptability is also another large consideration in your purchase.

A word on SWR customer service...

Somehow i got the piston endcap on my Octane45 stuck on the tube. No way to change pistons or swap hosts :cry:

I called SWR. Explained the problem. They had me send in the can and a copy of my form 4. Inside of 1 week ( i think it was 4days) i had the can back in my hands. Fully repaired ( i think they replaced the endcap). Total cost for the repair....ZERO.

I fully expected to pay for the repair, parts at least. Nope.

Everyone needs 3 dedicated cans: rimfire, centerfire pistol, centerfire rifle.

I would get the Octane 45 since it covers more calibers.

But if considering strictly 9mm cans, then Mystic X would be it. You get added benefit of using full power 556 and 300 BLK (which is moot if you have a dedicated rifle can).

If I had it to do all over again I would definitely consider the Mystic X. Half the weight of my sdn-6 and useable with pretty much everything I have. Thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like I need to do a little more research.

Realize the Mystic X weighs almost 14 oz with a booster on it. Some pistols have trouble cycling with that much weight hanging off the front.

+1 for the Octane 45HD
+1 for a separate 22 can (love my Sparrow - the sleeves make all the difference for take apart & cleaning)
+1 for the reasons above
