Again... The can newb has yet another question. I just got back from my local shop and they had some Evolution 9 cans for sale. they didn't have any Gemtech Multimounts, which is what I initially was looking for. The owner will be back on Friday so I didn't get a chance to talk to anybody that actually knew about the cans they had. Like I said... they did have some Evolution 9mm and other AAC and I think YHM cans in stock. How are they? I want a can to use between a 92fs and eventually a 10.5" 9mm AR. Will the Evolution work for that? And what are the toughts on the AAC cans? Thanks in advance!
I like AAC cans, and the Evolution especially. AAC doesn't have the best rap at ARFCOM for reasons unbeknownst to me. However, I think most folks here agree they make a great product, but question their service. They have been most helpful in all my dealings with them, and I own three of their suppressors. I think the Evolution is a great value. It isn't their top of the line 9mm can, but is only a couple dB's louder than the Ti-Rant, and much cheaper.
A couple things... you will want to use 147 and 158 grain 9mm ammo to keep it from going supersonic. Also, AAC recommends the use of their integrated booster system on Beretta 92 hosts. But for a 9mm AR, you will want to order a fixed barrel spacer.
Send your Beretta 92 to Tornado Tech to get the factory barrel threaded. They did mine and it came out great. (ETA: Apparantly TT is way behind. I have also had ADCO do work, and they are also well-respected)
The AAC Evolution 9, while not the latest and greatest, is a fantastic can for the money. Buy with confidence.
