I just purchased a Dead Air Mojave Nine for my G17, Gen 5. I researched a lot and feel this one is a great choice for your consideration.

 

I've been really happy with my Rugged Obsidian 9.

 

These look awesome and I hear nothing but great things, but in the full configuration it’s soooo long!

 

Really liking my Primary Weapons System- BDE9

Modular and extremely easy to clean.

 

That looks pretty wild!

 

Do you care how heavy or big it is?

 

I really like my full titanium silencerco spectre9. It’s so light that I don’t feel it. It’s hard to tell that it is even there.

 

I've never used a suppressor. I'm curious how much weight do those add to the G17?

Thanks,
MIchael

 

It depends on how big it is and what it is made of. The short titanium ones are really light and you can barely tell they are mounted.

 

Take a hard look at the HUXWRX Flow 9k Ti. I opted for that one over the Rugged Obsidian, and it is solid. Hearing safe with 124 gr. supers running through it.

 

I used a dead air Odessa 9., really nice

 

Thanks
For the most part the suppressor will be used when I am at the range
Loud noise causes me Migraines and I am hoping to limit them

But I am also hoping to use it on my AR15 that is set up as a 9mm

The rugged obsidian are nice. Can be shortened and disassembled for cleaning.

 

Cool thread. I bought one of the Glock 17 Gen 1 repops that are currently available for a very good price. I like the simplicity of the gun, a Gen 3 that looks like a Gen 1. I added OEM extended mag and extended release along with OEM night sights. If the suppressor thing actually happens I will get an aftermarket threaded barrel and an old school suppressor. How cool is that?

 

I've got an old Silencerco Octane 45. I'm happy with it and can use it on anything from 22 to 45. Just need to buy the correct adapter (piston). It works great on my Glock 17. Not very expensive either.

 

Look at the CGS MOD 9. Works well on my Sigs, berettas and Glocks.

It is very well balanced but is not modular. I've been told that if you do get a modular can (long or short configuration options) they pretty much remain in the long configuration as the short config is no significant sound reduction.

But keep in mind that a pistol with a suppressor is pretty much just a range toy, gimmick. Almost zero practicality in using the firearm correctly or as intended.

IMO, a suppressor on a long gun or SBR is actually beneficial. Reduced noise while hunting with a bolt gun (if your state allows it). Also, the blast from an SBR, especially if it is 5.56, is begging to be suppressed. Unsuppressed 5.56 from 12" or shorter barrel is extremely percussive; teeth rattling loud. You may want to dive into a 30 cal or ar-15 type suppressor to get the most smiles from using a "silencer".

I wear mine around the farm in a Crye Gunclip to deal with snakes and other pests. Loaded up with 147 grain subs it's not as spooky to the horses. Other than that, it's just for saving my ears when I'm shooting.

I'd recommend anyone with a suppressed Glock pick up a Gunclip. Not too expensive and an easy way to carry a suppressed pistol. Obviously not for concealed use or carry in public though 😂.

 

Love my dead air Mojave and CAT street crack

 

I love my Liberty Suppressors Mystic X on my Glock 22 with 9mm threaded conversion barrel:

But it's even more fun on my Gen 1 S&W M&P 9:

9mm suppressed is just way too much fun at the range! 🤪

 

A lot of good ones out there these days. I have several pistol cans, but really like my Dead Air Ghost and Rugged Obsidian. Both can be shortened, of course most people use the full configuration. My ears are sensitive to higher frequencies so I can tell a huge difference between long/short config. I have friends that it doesn’t make much difference to though. On a 9mm Glock, the DA Ghost was the most pleasant with pitch and blow back to me. On an Sig P226 9mm, Obsidian performs slightly better . So obviously the solution is to buy several.

All and all, however, 22 cans and rifle cans are more enjoyable and useful in my experience. Pistol suppressors (not including 22) change the feel of the gun quite a bit and aren’t as practical to carry about, increase blow back, and you either need to have an RMR, suppressor sights, or have to “aim thru the can.”

If I were looking to shoot suppressed pistol often, I’d lean towards pistols with integrated suppressors like the SiCo Maxim 9. Wish there more options like that.
