    Pistol can Question

    I am looking at getting a can for my pistol. I use two types of pistols, Glock
    40 s&w and M&P 9mm. I am trying to get the pros and cons for each caliber. I am leaning tword the Glock 40 can.

    Thanks for any input.

    Without knowing what your requirements are and how you're going to use it...

    Also, the 9 is going to be quieter with subsonic ammo, if that matters.

    Unless you have a reason for going .40, I don't see why you would lean that way.

    A user serviceable muli-mount 9mm suppressor can do so much...

    .22
    .38/.357
    9mm
    .300 BLK Sub
    more...

    Are you looking for enhanced lethality over 9mm?

    9 will be generally smaller, lighter and quieter.

    M&P's make great hosts.

    Most people who buy .40 cans are dissapointed with the reduction levels. Unless you plan to shoot it wet, I'd definitely lean towards the 9mm can. Much quieter and some are even user serviceable these days.

    AAC TiRant .45+Pistons for both of your guns. Then you can suppress every practical pistol caliber.

    Why choose?

    Good call. I was looking at one of those today at my gun store. That would be the perfect solution.

    That's what I did. I'll let you know how it works out in however long it takes to get approved.

    Cool. What can did you go with? The AAC?

    I went with an Innovative Arms Shepherd .45acp can with an extra 1/2x28 piston for 9mm.
    It is one of the quietest .45 cans I've ever shot and at $625 you can't beat the price for the quality and the easy to get along with people who make them.
    Their shop is about 20 minutes from home. They take care of all my suppressor and SBR needs.
