Cans are slang for boobs, it’s a boob joke….What does that mean?
I have to agree. I have both the Mask and the Odessa. Both are small diameter and very quiet. The mask on my Savage MK II is ridiculously quiet. Use the CCI Quiet and it's the sound of the firing pin dropping.The 22 is a realtively simple choice. I happen to like Dead Air's Mask 22 HD. It's user maintainable, pretty rugged and as far as I know, still up there as one of the most effective general-purpose 22 cans out there.
9mm is a bit more complicated, and is a bit dependent on what you'll be using it on. If you have guns with tilting barrels (pretty much all common guns other than the Beretta 92), you're going to need a Nielson device (muzzle booster). threaded in the appropriate way. If you have a metal-frame SIG, you might need a separate one for that, because the thread is metric (13.5x1mm), and not the standard 1/2x28. The reason I mention this is that these can add significant cost to your can if you don't get them with the can itself.
That aside, I like my Dead Air Odessa, which is a modular can and is fine for 'light use'. One of the advantages is it's a small-diameter, which means I can use it on guns with standard-height sights. If I remember correctly, it comes with a 1/2x28 Nielson device, so you can run it on most things straight out of the box
An alternative (in this case, I'm still waiting for the Form 4) is a Dead Air Ghost M. It's larger diameter and configurable length, but it's very light. However, it ONLY has a direct-attach thread, so for most pistols, you'll need the Nielson device, which runs about $80 for the sleeve and spring. And its diameter is considerably greater than the Odessa and will usually require guns that you use it on to have suppressor-height sights. This too can get expensive if you're going to run a can like this on multiple guns (regardless of the can manufacturer)
As you can tell - I'm biased. I like Dead Air's products.
that means they will sag without support.What does that mean?
Stupid question, but what can works best on a 45 and a 9, and is equally quiet on both?
I just responded to you with a small essay My number is also at the end of itDeadair Mask is the tits and so is the Rugged Oculus. I've got both. For a 9mm can, I'd agree on the 45 cal. I have the old model SiCo Octane 45 and it works well on everything from subguns to Glocks. I've shot subsonic 300blk through it. I am in the process of getting 2 more dedicated subgun cans but these are very specialized (MP5SD & GSL FatMan).
Just started the process with Construct More Pylons since he is up to date on the all of the E-filing of Form 4s.
QRF is another good place to purchase from and they are very knowledgable as well.
I've hear TruPrep / cmshoot is getting a SOT soon they may soon be in the NFA game as well.
When in doubt, Obsidian 45 it out. Works for 9 and 45, as well as subsonic 300BO. Its also modular, so when you learn that a 1 foot pole on the end of your pistol sucks, you can shorten her down.Stupid question, but what can works best on a 45 and a 9, and is equally quiet on both?
This right here regarding pistol cans. I don't even bother to suppress pistols anymore with the exception of my Beretta 21a with the shortened Oculus. Lock the slide in the place and it's stupid quiet.When in doubt, Obsidian 45 it out. Works for 9 and 45, as well as subsonic 300BO.
