I’ve done a little bit of snooping through here, but felt it may be better had as a conversation. Looking to finally pay the bill and enter the suppressed world.

I have a P226 in .40 that I want to throw a 1/2x28 threaded 9mm conversion barrel/spring into (before I get ahead of myself; I’m basically just REALLLLY hoping it’s as simple as “1/2x28 threaded barrel + 1/2x28 piston = suppressed platform”…. Feel free to give me some more guidance if that’s incorrect 🤣)

What are the best pistol options? Mainly considering the cons of weight and size. Most of the suppressors I’ve looked at (reviews; online) seem huge, like they may be better suited for shoulder fired platforms over handhelds.

What do you guys think would suit a 9mm P226 best?

Thanks in advance for all the insight and conversation! Really appreciate it.

I just picked up a Foxtrot Mike FM9 7” tri lug barrel and want to toss a can on it. I’m thinking about going with the obsidian 9 or otter creek labs lithium. Any suggestions?

I'm going to get an Obsidian 9 tomorrow from my LGS. It fits all the criteria I like in a suppressor. However, I wasn't able to find any info online about how modular cans heat up in the two configurations.

In the case of the Obsidian 9, with a short and long config, how will the two differ in terms of heat management? Will the short config heat up or cool down at a faster/slower/same rate?

Also, is there any important difference in rate of wear on the short section when used with or without the extension? Meaning will the short section wear at a faster/slower/same rate with the extension on?

With Rugged's warranty, I'm not terribly concerned with long term damage; I also don't shoot a whole lot so the can will probably barely wear over several years. Mostly curious about heat management. Any insight and experience would be appreciated!

I have some options lined out but don’t know what’s best? I know I have to check for concentricity, and get a ima piston if needed

Shooting my 16" DDM4v7 with SiCo 36m, in full length per usual, wolf .223 ammo. First time shooting this suppressor in 40 degree weather, usually shooting in 80-90 degrees. Sounded so much quieter, several others noticed how much quieter it sounded also. I'm talking substantially different. Probably 20+ decibels quieter. Is this a thing? If not, thoughts?

Anyone else locked out of the SilencerCo website ? Looking for BF deals and it won't allow me access.

Context: getting my first suppressor, would like to use the same one on my 300 win mag and 556.

I think I’ve got a decent idea of how they work and what I may need, but I would appreciate someone correcting me or filling in my gaps in knowledge.

From what I (think) I know: I want a QD system which would make it easier to switch between the two guns. This would mean I need two muzzle breaks/flash hiders (both guns 1/2x28 btw), that are compatible with whatever qd system i choose (aware of names like keymo, xeno, cherry bomb). this "system" only consists really of an adapter that screws into my suppressor and then into the muzzle break/flash hider. does this sound correct? Anything I’m missing? Any recommendations on where to buy these muzzle breaks/qd mounts?

Does anyone have experience with both of these? Prices are similar through silencer shop. Trying to decide which to get. Thanks for the help.

Hey, does anyone know if I would be able to use the CAT206 cleaner on the RC2? It said I can use the solvent on inconel suppressor but the RC2 is inconel and stainless steel, I wonder if it would damage any part of the RC2.

Thank you

Still waiting for my stamp. What is fucked up is the gun shop holding my can doesn't have a range so I can't even get a conjugal visit! LOL!

Oh well good news is I have stock piled quite a bit of subsonic ammo! Lol! 😁

Looking to get my first suppressor, having one to fit my hunting rifle and my zombie apocalypse/commie invasion gun sounds convenient. I’ve heard having a dedicated can per gun is ideal, but I’m still going to school and don’t have the cash to drop on two different suppressors right now so I’d like to just get one for both unless someone has really strong reasons of why I shouldn’t. I’m looking at the otter creak labs polonium-30, silencerco omega 300 dtm (which I think is on back order), and dead-air nomad-30. Trying to stay under or at least close to $1k total (including tax stamp, suppressor, and mounting stuff). Are these good ones? Would you recommend something different entirely? Opinions would be greatly appreciated. I also have questions on the mounting system but I’ll make a separate post for that

Looking at getting my first one soon and was confused about the process, do I need to buy the suppressor first then the tax stamp?

Planning on picking up my first one soon, just a little confused on the process. Done purchase the suppressor then once it gets in do the tax stamp?

Generally running on a 5.56 AR, from 10.5-18”. Possibly on a 6.5CM, maybe eventually on a .300blk. Looking at the B&T SBRS 7.62 or the new deadair Lazarus 6. Anyone have any advice? Looking for hub compatible

Anyone found any good Black Friday deals?

Looking to get a suppressor for my 8 inch 5.56 CZ Bren 2, so far it’s between the Huxwrx Virtus and the Flow 556k but I wanted to check if anyone else has recommendations.

Any info about the lpm anthem 38 v2 suppressor good or bad, current hosts will be a 6 inch ar15 300blk and an 11 inch ar15 9mm direct blowback. Future plan is to build a 12 inch bolt action 8.6blk. Thanks.

What’s would be recommended for 9mm you wanna shoot with a can that someone in the next room with the tv on could possibly not hear
I know there’s a 300blk can that can do it what about 9mm

Hello everyone,

Plan to purchase a Omega 36M as my first suppressor, i plan on using it on my AR15(5.56) and scorpion(9mm), what attachments will i need? Does the suppressor come with everything i need already?

Thanks!

Currently have an old Surefire SB 556 that lives on a 11.5 Geissele SD SBR. That rifles needs the Radian Raptor SD, Bootleg BCG, and H3 buffer to not be over gassed.

I am going to buy a new rifle and suppressor. Which set up would work better in your opinion?

Still relatively new to suppressors and rifles so any advice would help.

I’m mounting a wolfman under 3” of handguard and know nothing about QD. ASSuming I don’t need the tapered mount (for SIGs) or the “facemount”, I have two questions:

#1 Would it be more quiet to mount the keymo brake or JMAC 360 brake to act as sacrificial baffles and mitigate sound OR is it more quiet to use the keymo Zero which is nothing but the mount itself?

#2: Is there any way I can mount a fake can or something onto the keymo muzzle device for when I’m not using the wolfman on it?

Sorry this is my second post in a day, but I’m trying to buy everything during the holiday sales. Thanks!

Seen a few places that are having Black Friday deals where they are offering suppressors with free tax stamps ( Capitol Armory being one ) . But only certain suppressors. Has anyone seen dealers/shops selling the YHM R9 and YHM Phantom 22 with free tax stamps?

First time suppressor buyer but long time suppressor browser. My first AR platform build is as described above.

Thing shoots beautifully but every time I take it anywhere I get the same “hurr durr when are you going to suppress it?”

I want to make sure I get my money’s worth and spring for the most convenient option, but every forum has 10 guys that are certain X can is the best bang for your buck and definitely won’t amount in a baffle strike on similar setups (given no key-holing and proper alignment)

Main use of the pistol is home defense and hog control, both of which would benefit from a bit of hush.

Any thoughts are appreciated unless you’re an SOB, I’m not a gunsmith by trade so if I missed anything… my bad.

Sound performance is king but alternately a multi cal would be useful as I have other things with threaded barrels.

1. From videos, it seems like they’re very close in sound reduction (I care most about sound reduction and reliability). The Wolfman is bigger but a much older design—will it be quieter? I do think it’s cool it can take wipes, but worry that it’s only gonna be reliable on a pistol in the short config (leaning towards a PDP compact vs Glock 19, since evidently they suppress well).

2, I am finding these $150-$350 cheaper than silencershop (and in stock)—so is there any reason not to buy it at a store and have them ship to my LGS with a kiosk? I already have my electronic fingerprints saved on my computer and a USB.
