I have one, and to use it on a tilt barrel pistol (like Glocks, M1911, and SIGs) you will need it for reliable cycling.

I used the LID on a SIG and the fixed mount on a Beretta M9. (eventually got rid of the SIG - mistake)

 

Thanks for the info, I'm gonna go ahead and order the LID. How did your Gemtech work over all? Any issues? Also did you all ways shoot it dry?

 

Yup. Dry.

It is aluminum so you do not want to shoot water or water-based gels in it. I did use some lithium grease a couple of times. To a sound meter it may have made a difference, but not to my ears. Maybe I did not use enough.

With a short (3" or 3.5") barrel and the LID,and the grease, I got blow-back from a SIG 239 tactical.

With the fixed mount, no grease, and the Beretta it is great.

Because of the extra weight hanging off the front it does not recoil as fast nor as far, so the shots hit lower than without the can.

With the LID that is not as noticeable I think. (It has been a while.)

Without the LID:

With the LID (if it is very dirty):

 

Looks good. I'm gonna run mine on a Glock 19 and a 9mm AR SBR with the talon upper. I can't wait to get it.

 

If you can afford it, get both the American piston (1/2" x 28tpi) and the European piston (13x1 LH) while you still can.

All I need to get is the 3-lug mount and the European fixed mount, and I'll have what I need for nearly any 9mm host.

 

Muffled video of the SIG with the multimount (and LOTS of lithium grease). Converted from MOV to MPEG so the sound is a tad off.

More realistic video of the Beretta and Multimount. Surrounded by trees, so there is a lot of echo and sound reflected back from downrange:

I may trade my Beretta in on a G17 or G19 some day.....

 

you will need the LID for the glock, I have the exact same set up as what you're getting, ie works great with the LID, without it it's a single shot or worse (jam).

I spray WD-40 in mine for extra sound suppression. most pistol suppressors are fine with a little grease or water or ?.

it's the rifle suppressors that you have to really be careful with.:wow: and is generally discouraged.

 

You can see that grease smoking off in your video. The new gen 4 G17 is nice I shot my buddies last week. I don't know when there will be a threaded barrel avaliable for the gen 4's hopefully soon. So I'm going with the gen3 G19 for now since lone wolf has the stainless barrels avaliable.

 

I have a P226 with the M.M. As Said above, you need the LID. I gotta keep Teflon tape on the barrel threads though otherwise it'll come loose. Right now I'm in the market for a factory G34 barrel and get it threaded for my G17.

save yourself some money and hassle and just order the G17 barrel from lone wolf already threaded.

 

Yes, you will need the LID to cycle the gun.
The Multimount is a nice can also, i usually use a little vasaline and for ammo,
147 grain doing about 850 fps.

 

What has worked best to clean the can?

 

You don't. A little carbon is OK.

 

The Gemtech operation and maintenance guide that came with my Multimount states:

"We do suggest spraying (or even immersing) the inside with a teflon based lubricant (such as Break Free) to decrease carbon buildup within the suppressor. Although it will generate some smoke on initial firing, it will also significantly enhance performance (by approximately 10 dB)."

Break Free is what I use.
