I understand it's a "wet" can; but does anyone have any experience w/ them? Thanks

Quiet?
Quiet?
Re: AWC Titanium Abraxas
Don't mind the grease and it looks to be very efficient for it's size!

Re: AWC Titanium Abraxas
I transfered one for a guy, it's a super small package and on a glock 26 it was nice and quiet thru 2 mags, 3rd mag it started to get a bit louder but still tolerable.
Didn't notice any grease blowback like with water.

incredibly efficient for it's size, and incredibly messy for it's size(not unlike my ex-wife). If you do 'work' that requires the smallest can out there you can legally own, it may be worth it. Otherwise, I would stick with standard dry 9mm suppressors. The grease wears out after a couple of mags, btw. The smell is almost as bad as the mess. Then there's the pain of getting lithium grease deep into a suppressor, as well. It can also be fickle to get it to work reliably. Here's my Abraxas shortly before I sold it off, on a G26 that was heavily massaged (light springs, bevelled hood and slide):
The worst part is someone is gonna walk up to you with a standard 9mm suppressor that isn't all that much bigger, put a tiny few drops of clp in it, and it will be another 6-8dB quieter than your Abraxas ever could be...

Thanks for everyone's valued input; I think I am going to have to try one!

Did you ever try one? I'm thinking of one now. Have to look at the new Abraxas II now as well due to the disassemble option and piston....
Advice here would be good. Going with either the A or A II.

I have the Stainless Steel 5.75" version, circa mid 90s, because it's heavier than the Titanium versions it doesn't cycle the action on an unmodified G19.
An advantage is reduced FRP because of the decreased the blast chamber size compared to larger suppressors.
AWC sold it to me with a separate Recoil Regulator module, so it can be configured single or semiautomatic.
I'll be testing it against a 5.07" AAC Ti-Rant 9S within a few months.
Here's my range report, ordered from least to most suppression;
Spray M-Pro 7 cleaner in first three chambers of thread end (5cc) - lasts 2 rounds, sprays
Spray WD-40 Specialist White Lithium grease in first three chambers of thread end (5cc) - lasts 3 rounds, vapor, no spray
Dipped in water, drain for 10 seconds (?cc) - lasts 2 rounds, sprays
Solid Mobil 1 non Lithium grease in first three chambers of thread end (5cc) - lasts 5 rounds, smokes, no spray
