Only reason not to go osprey is if you plan to tuck a round suppressor in a rail.
The fnx and 1911 are made for an osprey. And the suppression is great

You will probably need suppressor sights with the Tirant, but your current pistol has them already. You do not need suppressor sights with the Osprey but if you run a light in the rail it might his the osprey if the light comes past the end of the slide. Even if it doesn't, it will probably affect the light beam.
Other than that they are both great suppressors.

That is sexy! Which 1911? I really want a Springfield Operator or TRP railed.
I went with the tirant, but also had the opportunity to shoot the Osprey on my FNX before I made the call. I got about a half decibel more sound reduction with the Ti-rant, but with tonal variations I thought the AAC sounded noticeably quieter. I also personally don't care for Osprey's design which is probably the main reason I didn't go that route. But the FNX/Ti-Rant combo is hard to beat....
Neither. Octane HD.
It's user serviceable, easier to be taken apart then the Tirant, is cheaper and sounds amazing.
The only reason I would get an Osprey is if you weren't planning on shooting a lot, and liked it for the looks. They look amazing in FN and HK tactical pistols due to their blockey appearance.

Both excellent cans but I opted for the Osprey.
There was a group buy here a while back and it was too good to pass up.
The Osprey has a louder 1st round pop than the Tirant but averages out quite nice for DB levels in a string. 10 CC of wire pull gel gets rid of the 1st round pop and its REALLY quiet.
Better sight clearance, great performance and only the rear section of the Osprey tube is serialized. In the event of a bad thing happening Silencerco can rebuild about the entire can easily and legally.
Screw up the Tirant tube and you are screwed if its not repairable.
No matter which one you choose both are excellent.

Very good point that I was not aware of. That certainly adds more positive reasons for why I got the Osprey. I use a Sig P220 Elite Scorpion TB and a G17 with TB from Lone Wolf; just change the attachments to work 45 or 9. I do like the idea of the FNX Tactical with RMR though.
I haven't shot the tirant but my osprey amazes me everytime I take it out. I run it on my 1911 and my FNX 
Silencerco is a great company as well.

I hear this a lot and from people and it is just not true, do you own an osprey? I'd bet not. You 100% do need suppressor sights with an osprey I've shot it on my m&p's And glocks and nothing clears. Also on the subject of lights it does interfere with the beam but it is not bad as this picture demonstrates
My suggestion is go with an octane, for the sole reason is the osprey holds you back from some things such as, tucking it in under a rail and shooting any lead bullets.

I tried both and bought the TiRant. The Osprey worked fine on my Glock 21 with Heinie straight eights. I don't know if running them on a 9mm platform is the difference or what. I did my research before I bought and am happy with my purchase.
Osprey 45
I have no experience with the TiRant, but I have to say that I am VERY pleased with my Osprey, even in sub-caliber use. So far I have run it on an FNX 45T, and a Glock in sub-caliber (.40 and 9mm). There IS some first round pop, but even in 9mm it's still hearing safe (running 147gr ammo). Really, shooting suppressed sounds like using an air nailer... like you're working on your fence or something.
Not that I'd do any shooting in my (in-town) back yard or anything...
FWIW, I understand that the TiRant and Osprey are very similar in performance; when I was looking at which one to go with, the thing that swayed me towards the Osprey is the issue that cal50 mentioned; if there's ever a baffle strike, the odds of the serialized part getting destroyed are pretty slim. That said, when I ordered my dedicated 9mm can, I went with the Octane HD for the stainless baffles and user serviceability.

Octane HD.. smg rated, stainless user serviceable baffles so lead is gtg. On my MC Operator the sights are just about flush with the can, not ideal but very useable. On my G20 I'm planning on milling in an RMR and running suppressor height sights.
Honestly of the handful of cans I own, it's the one I'm most impressed with as far as sound reduction.

Most full auto rated cans are going to be heavier in weight and if you want / desire dual purpose then grab a FA rated can.
Dedicated pistol cans ( NOT full auto rated) are usually lighter and handle better on a host weapon.
