Vortex Flash Hider would be my first choice after a suppressor.

This will be built as a SBR, and it will eventually wear a suppressor, but that's at least a year out.

My 9mm bbl has 1/2x36 threads so not too many options for me. Cnc warrior has a few but nothing I like better than the A-2 it came with.

Not much muzzle flash from a 16" 9mm barrel, the A1 or A2 styles with the correct thread are fine.
ETA: Now see the SBR comment, even from a short barrel there isn't that much flash. Unless you already have a suppressor & mount in mind, I'd get something inexpensive since it's just going to be replaced anyway. |

Flaming pig. Need 1/2x28 threads but a 5.56 noveske pig has an opening big enough for an entire 9mm casing to fit in it.

As FreezinSig mentioned, the .5x28 kx3 has a bore diameter > 9mm. I'm not sure I understand the concern when you can drop a 9mm round, casing and all through it. The projectile diameter clears the bore... the pressures is far less than .5.56.... you're fine (with obvious caveats with all firearms that barrel and muzzle device are within spec). |

I'd go with a 9mm A2-style flash hider for now, and then decide what muzzle device/can adapter you want when you decide what suppressor you want.
Rock River has A2-style flash hiders (in the appropriate thread for the OP's barrel) for $12.50. |

A2, unless you're doing it for fashion.

As the eventual plan is to go with a suppressor, the only real purpose would be cosmetic. This will be my first 9mm AR, but I just don't see a lot of recoil or muzzle flash coming out of a 9mm barrel, even as short as 8.5". A Noveske Pig would rate high in tacti-cool points, but after a little thought it's not worth the $100+ unless it's actually doing something. At this point I'm leaning towards a simple A2, or possibly (if I'm feeling rich and stylish) a Smith Vortex.

Get an A1 instead of A2, then you don't have to index it.

I'm looking for a 5.5" flash hider of some sort for my DDLES build up. I have a rock river 10.5" upper and was wanting to go the rifle route till I SBR mine. Just can't find one anywhere. I had one on my oly upper and don't remember where I got it.
My upper has an A1 flash hider on it. I'll get rid of it if I can just find a 5.5" one.

Just came across this...
According to the Spike's website, "Available in 5.56 1/2"-28 and 30 caliber 5/8"-24. The 30 caliber cone will also support 9mm." At $135 it's more than I want to spend, but it's a cool option for those willing to drop the coin. |
