Suppressor Question

I'm grabbing a AAC Tirant .45 suppressor and on the ordering form there are 4 options that I assume are related to the threading of the device. I plan to use the suppressor on a H&K .45 CT. The options listed are:

1/2 x 28
M13.5 x 1 LH
1/2 x 32
1/2 x 36

Which option should I take? I really appreciate the advice and Thanks in Advance!

None of the above. 45 should be M16x1mm left hand thread.

The ones you listed are all for 9mm.

Thanks guys, as you can see I'm a total noob to the suppressor scene. Its a little strange, the listing is for a .45 suppressor but as you both said, the threads are for 9mm.

It's common for people to get 9mm pistons for 45 cans. I use my Octane 45 on 9mm handguns and my MP5s, it sounds great. But you should have the option to order your TiRant 45 with the M16x1mm piston. If what you listed are the only options then something is screwy. You could always get a M13.5x1mm piston for 9mm and buy an M16x1mm piston separately if there really is no other option (assuming you have 9mm handguns to use it on).

I decided to wait for silencer shop to get them back in stock. The site was too shady looking and the options list with the wrong threading was what made me not swipe the card. And yes, the plan is to get the .45 suppressor and use it on the H&K and my Sig 226.

Depends on your host/s.

The HK MK23 piston is: M16 X 1 RH
The HK tactical piston is:: M16 X 1 LH

( Have both along with a 1/2-28 for my 9mm host)

Thanks JKH. Between all the choices, NFA BS and host choices its funny that thread types are not mentioned too much. I appreciate the info.
