Suppressors Short and light 9mm pistol suppressors roundup Jan 2025

[carbonbased]

Updated 7/16/25
Ok, so I’m looking for the absolute shortest and lightest 9mm pistol can* that's all titanium…or maybe SS (added that last bit on 7/16//25, for ease of cleaning).

For comparison, I have the truly tiny Gemtech Aurora II, which is awesome, direct thread (no booster), and works fine with my Glock. Of course, this is an aluminum-bodied wipe+lube suppressor, so it’s for emergencies only. I’m looking for something that doesn’t wear out so fast and require repacking.

​	MATERIAL​	LENGTH​	WEIGHT​	DIA.​
Gemtech Aurora II	Alum rubber wipes petroleum jelly​	3.5” (DT)	3.2oz (DT)	1.13”

So far I’ve found:​

​	MATERIAL​	LENGTH​	WEIGHT​	DIA.​
TBAC Fly 9	Ti​	3.9” w/DT Alpha mount‡	4.3oz w/DT Alpha mount†	1.39”
Ecco Canine	Ti​	4.3” (DT)	3.1oz (DT)	1.3”
SilencerCo Spectre 9	Ti​	4.76” (+mount?)	3.9oz (+mount?)	1.37”
SilencerCo Spectre 9k**	Ti​	3.69” (+mount?)	3.17oz (+mount?)	1.37” (?)
Banish 9k	Ti​	4.1” (DT)	2.7oz (DT)	1.3”
Huxwrx FLow 9KTi	Ti​	5.33” w/no mount (5.87" w/booster; can be DT)	4.8oz (not incl. DT mount? 8.9oz with included booster assembly)	1.47"
Rex Silentium SEG H GEN2	SS (?) & wipe + petroleum jelly for short versions​	4.4”- 8.6” w/booster (DT optional; configurable)	3.3 - 7.5oz (DT)	1.43" (?)

DT = direct thread
* I am planning on using this can with a direct thread mount w/no booster. Glock 19x mainly, but also a CZ P-01 and CZ Rami. In the future, maybe an Sig P226.
** Seemingly still not available to the general public


Below are some small and light suppressors that are not titanium.

​	MATERIAL​	LENGTH​	WEIGHT​	DIA.​
JK 105 CCX 9MM	Alum​	1.9”- 4.6” (DT optional; configurable)	1.2 - 2.5oz (+mount?)	1.05"
JK 155 RPX 9MM	Alum & SS​	3.3 - 8.7" (DT optional;; configurable)	3.6 - 11oz (+mount?)	1.55"

Please let me know what else is in this space.

I can only speak for the FLY9, but everytime I pull it out and let other folks try it, they’re all shocked it’s THAT quiet. Like stunned faces and then they feel inferior with their other 9mm cans. Same normally happens with my Magnus too.

Granted for you, it’s going to be noticeably louder in the short config, obviously.

 

[Hoser]

I have a bunch of 9mm cans. My FLY9 is always the overall winner for size/sound/weight with the AAC TiRant right behind it.

 

[carbonbased]

Thanks guys!

Anyone else?

 

[HaydenLane]

SilencerCo Spectre 9k. Not sure when it will hit shelves or how long it is, but it’s short and 3.1 oz. Check out the video on their instagram.

Huh. Didn’t hear about that one! Thx man.

I own a couple Banish cans (30 and 223) and while they are nice, that company is weird.

But at 2.7oz, you can’t get much lighter than that. I wonder if the Mack bros make those for them? They are the OEM for the two cans I own, and their work is top notch.

I enjoyed this podcast, 21 minutes in he talks about this being so light, it runs on his G18.

I’ll check it out.

FYI for everyone, I’ve updated the table at the thread’s start.

You added the spectre 9, which is currently available, but the 9k I referenced above would certainly be a better fit for what you’re trying to do. I found specs on their YouTube: 3.17 oz, 3.69”.

Whoops! Didn’t notice that. Thx for pointing that out. Impressive length! Adding it to the chart.

I guess they’re not releasing it right now to the public as a stand-alone can??? They mention it’s currently just for the government right now, and they’ll bundle it with a gun later this year.

Wtf? Ghey.

Their mention about gov-only right now and then bundling it at about 3:15 below

 

[Capri_Man]

So here is my fly9 in the short configuration with just the front baffle attached.

Then the silencerco direct thread Alpha mount in 5/8x24

And all together now!

Thanks buddy! Added that to the table.

How long is the unit in DT config?

 

[Capri_Man]

Short config with factory mount 4, 3/8"

Short config with silencerco adaptor 3, 15/16"

Factory assembly with the spacer

Short config with factory spacer

And lastly the factory booster with spring

 

[carbonbased]

Short config with silencerco adaptor 3, 15/16"

So, is this the length of the unit with the Silencerco direct thread Alpha mount? (adapter 3?)

Sorry for perhaps being dense.

I should have worded that better, but yes thats the silencerco direct thread alpha mount and the combo comes in at 3 15/16" or just under 4".

Cool! This is so helpful. I really appreciate it!

I’ve updated the list, now with diameters too.

Oh, I own that can and it’s great on a subgun. I’m just looking for the lightest & shortest can so I can get away with not using a oiston.

The Obsidian 9 is a little long at 4.85” and it’s heavy at 8.7oz. One needs to use a piston for it to run reliably on pistols.

That’s why I haven’t put it on the list.

My only criticism of the can, beyond the length/weight, is that the tube is aluminum. Can’t clean that with CLR or it gets eaten. Didn’t know that fact when I bought it.

 

[LeftyJason]

What host are you planning on using?

Glock 19x mainly, but also a CZ P-01 and CZ Rami. In the future, maybe an Sig P226.

 

[carbonbased]

What host are you planning on using?

The reason for the Glock boiled down to, unfortunately, holsters.

All suppressor holsters (except one) are IMHO sorta janky.

My use outside of the range would be a backup when hunting alone with a bolt action. Basically for the low probability of running across a threatening cougar/bear/dog. I’ve got hearing issues and want to keep hearing the best that I can.

The best holster for suppressor use is also the cheapest, but works only with a Glock 17/19. It’s the Crye Gunclip and it’s only $40. It’s super solid, as in, the gun is NOT going to fall out of that thing. Doesn’t require a light, but accepts them. Easy to draw from too, but different.

Beyond the Crye, last time I looked, the Surefire Masterfire was the best, but required a light, it’s relatively heavy compared to the Crye, and $$.

 

[FOS373]

You may want to look at Ecco. https://www.eccomachine.net/product/tlx/

I have a Fly 9 with piston and it works great. I’ve run the Ecco TLX 45 without a piston on a 220 and havent had any problems

Edit - didnt see you had the Canine on your list…..

 

[mebgardner]

I thought the Spectre 9 was pretty amazing when I bought it about a year ago. I would (and did) buy another. Specs below for reference:

Length: 4.76", Diameter : 1.37",
Weight: New, No Mount: 111 gms. / 3.90 oz.
Weight: New, With SiCo Booster and EZ-LOC Piston: 189 gm. / 6.65 oz.

I bought a OCL Lithium for pistol use and kinda regret that now. It's not very quiet for it's size, but I moved it to PCC duty where I'm much happier with that.

The Lithium beat the Fly9 for what became a critical factor for me: The Fly 9 does not use the HUB (Alpha / Bravo / Charlie) system of standard interfaces. I would pick the Spectre 9K, if it uses Alpha, for that reason.

Fly9 is alpha compatible

 

[mebgardner]

Fly9 is alpha compatible

Oh! Good to know, thanks. Is this a new feature? I was maybe looking for Bravo interface compatibility and overlooked it for that reason.

 

[SDet]

Not new, always has been. Easy to switch to 3 lug was a design requirement.

The fly45 is bravo compatible I believe.

 

[SDet]

Correct

 

[Ichi]

The HUXWRX Flow 9k Ti is starting to hit the streets and reports seem favorable. It's a little longer and heavier than what are listed above. But the flow thru design does offer some advantages. Redit threads are reporting less port pop and residue back in the face when used on a pistol. Also less gassy than the Spectre. The Flow 9k Ti also ships with a complete 1/2x28 booster assembly. Other HUB options are available.

 

[aviumvenator]

Here is another one to look at if you haven’t seen it.

JK Armament 105 CCX 9

 

[ggmanning]

I have a bunch of rounds on a couple Cash 9 Huxwrx on PCC's and CZ P01 and Shadows. I like them a lot with 147 subs. Small, light and the flow design has taken no spring tuning to run well. A smidge louder than my full sized old school osprey with super but no difference to my ears with subs and a lot smaller and lighter. 5.1" 5.9oz so slight size and weight plus vs those listed. I expect the Flow 9 Ti is similiar to better and the cash 9 is a nogo for 300 BO supers. Where I to buy again I'd get the modular Rad 9 and have the Cash 9/Rad 9 in one can in for either max suppression or minumum size capability.

 

[Ape_Factory]

I have the Flow 9K Ti arriving tomorrow. I currently use the Sig ModX 9 on my LTT Elite and it's twice the weight. I can remove two baffles and use it without a booster. I cannot wait to try the Flow and I think it'll rock on the Beretta. I really bought it for a special SD 9mm PCC build however since it's full auto rated and I'll be using the special sauce in the trigger department. It's auto rated even with 300 Blackout so a fairly versatile can.

 

[carbonbased]

@Ichi and @aviumvenator I've added your suggestions to the first post. Ichi, I somehow missed your post in Feb…apologies.

 

[carbonbased]

Ok, added a Rex can and another JK can. Plus separated cans by my material preferences.

Briefly looked into the Banish 9k as it looks good on paper, spec wise. But on their own site (Silencer Central), it has lots of one-star reviews saying pistols won't cycle with it. Yeesh.

This is confusing as my Gemtech is heavier than the Banish on paper (but shorter). Maybe short suppressors also help pistols cycle without boosters? I know my Gemtech, for which no booster is available, has allowed my Glock 19x to cycle no problem. I might've also tried my CZ P-01 with it as well, but cannot remember.
