Looking for light 9mm suppressor suggestions

[John from MD]

I'm looking for a 9mm suppressor for my pistols that weighs about 5 to 7 ounces. I am not interested in sealed cans unless they are made of Ti or SS as I practice with lead and powder coated bullets.

TIA

MOD9 Handgun Silencer or Pistol Suppressor by Chaos Gear Supply

Durability, strength and easy to remove baffles describe our MOD9 handgun silencer as it is perfectly designed to turn explosive noise to a whisper.

As far as I know this is one of the lightest 9mm suppressors on the market. I have the full size and it's my dedicated pistol suppressor. It balances great with pistols. It's a quality suppressor that sounds great. It is serviceable. I can't speak for short model, but it falls in your weight requirements.

Thanks for the info. I will look it up.

No prob. Here's mine mounted on a Dan Wesson Discretion. I've been very happy with it in the ~3ish years I've had it.

Just got the more compact MOD-9SK this afternoon. No chance to try it out yet, but I don't expect it to be 'movie quiet' due to how small it is.

Weighing in at an extremely light weight 6.6 ounces, the Mod-9SK tactfully balances weight versus suppression.

As soon as the local shop has a rugged alaskan TI in stock that's the route I'm going.

Ed,

Any reason you picked the CGS over the AB F4 Phantom? I'm looking at the F4 as it will run without a piston.

 

[E.Shell]

The CGS was in stock (!) and on sale ($535), and all I need this type device for is to reduce ear damage if I happen to fire it w/o ear pro.

I thought the piston was needed for (tilt-barrel) semi-auto handguns to allow cycling, but I could be mistaken.

The CGS has an optional bushing that replaces the piston spring for use with fixed barrel firearms like a PCC, making it a rigid setup.

For most suppressors, the piston/spring is needed on short recoil applications. The beauty of the F4 is that it is 4.5 oz which is light enough to not require the piston/spring for operation. That makes it quite a bit lighter and doesn't knock out the balance of the smaller 9mm pistols.

I have seen it work on the P365, which I plan to use it on, and it runs like a clock. Granted it is not as quiet as putting a larger can on it but it does still change the report. (as much as I can tell from a recording)

CAT Mobster is the quietest, followed closely by the PTR Vent2. The Mob is currently in stock and made of titanium. Might be a few more oz, but not many more:

It is a cool design, but has MAJOR drawbacks. It's designed as a direct thread PCC can, handled one, was surprised they didn't have a modular mount. It isn't so much that it doesn't need a booster, it can't run one. It's light enough that some pistols can still run without a booster, but many won't, at least reliably. There is also no way to mount a 3 lug, which all my PCCs use. Can't even change thread pitch, and basically need to torque it on, so not something that is great for multiple hosts. Part of the reason the performance is so good is that there isn't really a blast chamber, the baffles start just ahead of the mount, so it sounds good, but has really high backpressure, OK for delayed blowback or 300BO, not great for blowback.

Most PCCs have a LOT of port pop, so really restrictive and quiet cans suck to shoot in practice as gas blows back in your face. Less restrictive K cans might be louder at the muzzle, but are a lot more comfortable to shoot and quieter at the ear. Delayed blowback can sound a little better with a longer can, I have both, so I do like a modular length can like my 36M to work with both. Comparatively, cans with a blast chamber and modular mount like the SiCo Omega 9K, or MOD 9SK are a LOT more versatile and probably better for most anyone that might run it on more than 1 firearm, wants to use it on a handgun, or something with 3 lug.

I couldn't find a DB rating for that can. Not on SS and not on CGS's web site. That tells me that it isn't good enough to be worth mentioning.

It is a cute little bugger though.

Eccomachine Canine is 3.1oz and made from titanium. Light enough that it doesn't require a booster/neilson device

I recently bought a used/demo Mod9SK because it was stupid cheap and already came w/ the 3-lug adapter. Haven't shot it yet. Not expecting it to be as quiet as a full can but should be perfect to just leave on the MP5.

Pewscience has the full size, but seems the K is roughly comparable to the Omega 9K with most testing I can find, low to mid 130s at the muzzle and ear with 147gr subs

Here’s another, that looks extremely interesting. Made of Titanium, it fits your weight restrictions, easily. Also, it’s ranked extremely high, by Pew Science 55.4 is really good!

That doesn't sound too bad. Thanks.
