Suggestions for 9mm PCC CAN

[Baron85]

Just picked up a Springfield Kuna and looking for a short light cab to go on it.

Will also go on my AR 9 and future AP5. Does not need to be multi caliber and will never be used on a pistol.

Currently have a 10-15 year old Liberty Mystic but wanting something shorter and lighter.

Don’t care about most quiet, just need it to knock the blast down, we wear ear protection no matter what.

Would like it under 1.5” diameter so it will fit under hand guard on my ar9.

Last question, how important is it to have a serviceable 9mm can? Back in the day it was reccomended to have take down pistol cans to be able to clean. I run jacketed hollow points so lead buildup shouldn’t be a problem.

I really like my KGM r30k and r6.5k but the 9mm version seems kinda heavy. No full auto for me.

Was looking at the ABF-4, and the omega.

Is there a benefit to the KGM that would be worth the extra weight and expense?

Liberty makes the Centurion that is 9mm. It performs well on my MPX and is slim enough to tuck under a handguard.

Check out the HuxWrx Flow 9K Ti. It’s under the 1.5” diameter and nice and light.

That's on my list, hopefully next year.

I have the Flow Range 36 and love it in my 9 PCC and it can go on any rifle too but he wanted under 1.5” OD so have to go 9K.

Per Barracat above, consider the Omega 9K.

I have 2 of them and they are very effective. On Sig MPX and CMMG PCC a standard shot time will not trigger unless it is held close to the ejection port to get the initial pop.

9mm, like most pistol rounds have a very small amount of peak gas volume to capture and slow down. Totally different animal than CF rifle suppressors.

To me sticking a big ass suppressor on a 9mm gets no appreciable performance improvement. The big cans may look cool on PCC class guns but you need to decide if the looks are worth the increase in size and decrease in maneuverability.

 

[Bacarrat]

Long ass cans on PCCs just look disproportionate to the whole gun.

I have a OCL Lithium 9 on my SP5k. It’s 1.5” diameter but I think it looks pretty good and it’s a great can.

I am using TBAC Fly9 and Fly45 cans on my FA PCCs. The Fly9 mostly lives on my MAC where my Fly45 stays on my MP-5 and Sten.

I havent figured out if I prefer the long or short config on them yet. My Sten seems to balance better and gets a better FA cyclic rate with the longer can where the MP-5 "looks" better short. The MAC just runs at ludicrous speed short or long...

I've enjoyed my Dead Air Wolfman on my MP5K, short configuration just looks right. the DA trilug adapter is also top of class with regards to longevity, it looks overbuilt compared to some but according to all the info I can find really stands up to hard use.

The Huxwrx Flow 9K Ti is a great can. Without the rear mount, it's under 4oz and full auto rated up to 300 blackout. You can get a Diligent Defense titanium direct thread mount which only adds like an ounce to the weight of the can.

Vastly less expensive than most of the other titanium offerings.

Here's the Hux attached to the end of my titanium SD adapter for a PCC. The SD adapter is actually heavier than the Hux.

 

[Baron85]

Well I was bad and picked up a MP5 last week to go along with the Kuna.

Is it best to go trilug or direct thread?

I’m stuck between the hux flow 9k and the AB 4. I know the AB is direct thread only.

Can anyone give me feedback between these 2?

 

[WindstormSCR]

Flow 9k will give you better function with the MP5, less backpressure means no need to change the locking piece for suppressed use.

Tri lug is definitely the better option. If you go with direct thread, you will have to check that it’s still tight from time to time. It doesn’t have to loosen much to risk a baffle strike.

If you do choose to go with direct thread, be aware that the muzzle threads on the gun are too long and the can will not screw on far enough to seat the mount on the barrel shoulder. There are spacers available to address this. I have one, but I can’t remember where I got it.

 

[Jerry V]

Only Cat MOB with Tri-lug for the win!

 

[Tictacticaltimmy]

The SAW Shiv is way shorter and lighter than any of these other cans, afaik.

 

[Bluedog82]

Besides the 1.5” diameter part (for the main can), the GSL Fatman is a great option.

 

[Baron85]

Placed the order on the hux flow 9k.

Thanks for the help everyone.

 

[DeathBeforeDismount]

Always go trilug. There is not much meat on a 9mm 1/2 threaded barrel. Take a real dump and you can bend /break barrel or can. Trilug also won't back off on you.

One thing I forgot to mention in terms of mounting options is that SD Tactical has a titanium micro muzzle brake and HUB mount that's extremely affordable and ultra lightweight. They have it threaded for 1/2x28 as well as 5/8x24. If you get the 1/2x28, you can put 9mm bore in the notes when you order.

The muzzle brake will work with either their HUB titanium mount or the Diligent Defense Zilch mount (adds zero length!). Using this setup will make it easier to swap between say a PCC and a 300 blackout rifle and the muzzle device will be sacrificial for those FRT mag dumps.

Below is the micro brake with the zilch mount on top, a Huxwrx QD HUB mount on the bottom. The Hux is like 5X the weight and 4X the cost.

 

[Baron85]

Thanks for posting that up, the hux trilug is out of stock with no ETA, might start with that brake setup until I can snag a tri lug

 

[Rob01]

I use the DA Xeno 9mm with my HuxWrx Flow 36 on my PCC and it works well. I use the Xeno set ups on my other cans and AR rifles also.

@Baron85 lightest and shortest HUB trilug on the market right now is OCL’s:

[TACC]

Silencers central Basha 9k is less than 1.5 inches in diameter, that is what I just got to fit under the handguns on my pcc

 

[Baron85]

Are these tri lug adapters universal as long as it’s HUB? When I called silencer shop they told me it was best to buy the hux adapter since other brand adapter may be different lengths and not fit the blast chamber even if its hub……..

Universal for matching threads, not for correct depth fit in every can ever (just like all mounting systems). Just check the blast chamber depth and the trilug length inside the can.
