I'm potentially on the market for a 9mm suppressor, does anyone have any particular suggestions?
My basic requirements would be one that's compatible with both fixed and tilting barrels (basically every model I looked at the other day had this, but it's definitely something I want), 300 Blackout compatibility, and then a nice-to-have would be some level of modularity to the baffles. Doesn't need to be 100% customizable like the models with each individual baffle being removable but being able to swap between 6" and 10" would be nice. This is mostly what I'm hoping to hear opinions on, if modular suppressors are too much of a compromise over a sealed model to be worth it
I got excited for a minute when I googled modular 9mm suppressor and the Osprey 9 2.0 showed up as the first result since I like the boxy design and the rimfire version of the Osprey has the baffle-by-baffle modularity without the ugliness of a lot of the other ones but the only modularity it has is being able to swap between fixed and tilting barrels, otherwise it's completely sealed. Also I think it would probably interfere with any light longer than the barrel, not just blocking the beam but physically colliding with the light itself, so not ideal for my primary plans anyway (mostly running on a glock clone)
Don't get the Osprey. It's pretty outdated and while looks cool, there are better options. Espececially if you want to shoot 300BO.
Sealed cans are better IMO. They are often lighter. Don't really need to take baffles out to clean (they work better dirty). and if you do need to clean in the future, cleaners like "breakthrough suppressor cleaner" work amazing without any scrubbing.
And don't get stuck on modularity. While is sounds cool, most people eventually stick to one size. Over the years I now prefer smaller form factor vs maximum suppression; just to take the edge off.
Rugged Obsidian 9
-Modular
-Built like a tank but only technically rated for subsonic 300 blackout.
-Good company, warranty
-Looks kind of dumb on rifles/PCCs.
Sico Omega 9k (my favorite can)
-Simple
-Made from 17-4 Stainless
-Will handle supersonic 300 blackout.
-Works great as a PCC can
-They have a new titanium version called a "Spectre" but I wouldn't run supersonic 300 blackout through it often. Titanium doesn't like getting hot.
Otter creek lithium 9
-Extremely lightweight.
-Titanium, so you don't want to get it too hot with 300BO supers. Can handle subsonic all day.
-Company and owner is great
CAT street crack
-New 3d printed "flow through" hotness
-Less gassy than traditional supressors
-They have a modular version but its hard to find.
-Not really rated for 300 supers.
-Expensive
YHM R9
-Cheap
-Built like a tank and can handle stuff like 556.
-Nothing fancy.
-Fairly heavy
