Just had the three lug barrel installed on my HK SP89 to MP5K conversion. I would like a can that is light weight, easy to clean, and of course effective.
I am new to this and want to pay once cry once. There are so many threads here about various cans but cant seem to find one for my type of attachment and criteria. Thanks in advance.

The Revolution 9 in K configuration with a 3 lug mount sounds like it would meet your requirements (I don't have one but people seem to report favorably about it) but there are plenty of options with a 3 lug mount that would work such as the Mystic, Octane, TiRant and the aforementioned Revolution.

Do you have other silencers for pistols? |

I don't know about the Revolution, but the Octane 9 works quite well.

I have a mystic with Gemtech 3 lug mount.
I think it's one heck of a can and would buy it again. I would avoid the Thompson machine. Mine is a PITA to service and basically feels like It will not hold up long term. |

OP I have had good luck with an octane on a 3lug MP5 but the revolution 9 would take the top pick if I was buying again just because it can be made into k configuration. |

I enjoy my suppressed pistols as much as my MP5K. Of course, you can't own just one silencer.  |

Actually the tirant it a little quieter but have not heard good things since remmington took em over .
Revolution has keyed baffles , option for a k configuration , slim line 3 lug mount , quiter to me then the octanes and generally less money, I also don't get crap blown in my face but that could be a host issue. Frankly the revolution is what the octane should of been. |

He is claiming FG fucked up the Ti-rant with changes. i did not say any of that " FG fucked up the Ti-rant with changes." first the tirant 9 is discontinued., all of the of the nfa groups i am on seem to echo the same things. They cannot get a hold of support, nothing is ever is stock on the website cannot find parts anywhere or takes forever to get warranty work done. The brains of AAC left to work for SIG i cannot say i know who is doing the designs at AAC/Remington/FG but there is a log history of FG messing up companies they take over. So take it for what it is but i will not recommend them as a company/suppressor at this time.. So when its between the Octane and revo the revo wins hands down. |

Rep on the phone told me they have made ZERO revisions to construction of the MK-9K so whether its the oldest, or newest, they're built the same. Paid $615 for my MK-9K. Just an FYI. Back to 3-Lug- I have Octane 9 (and later, a MK-9K) I have no issues with the Octane. But if MK-9K is the cat's ass- I might as well add that one too. |

Rep on the phone told me they have made ZERO revisions to construction of the MK-9K so whether its the oldest, or newest, they're built the same. Paid $615 for my MK-9K. Just an FYI. That is true for the core but not the mounting. Here are some pics of some of my MK9K 3 lug mounts:   These are pics I took back in 2005. There are at least 4 different iterations of MK9K 3 lug mounts I know of. What I label as 'NEW' is no longer made. I think that one had some stacking tolerance issues. I like the one labeled OLD the best. The back area is one solid chunk of aluminum. The latest, is kind of like a combination of the OLD and NEW one where it looks like the OLD one but it threaded to the part that screws into the inner core. All three of these MK9K 3 lug mounts fall under the patent by Greg Latka of Gemtech.https://www.google.com/patents/US5559302?dq=greg+latka&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAWoVChMIq5ePgdbfxgIVBSoeCh1b7wju  This design is spring loaded and uses a push / turn installation and removal method. It is foolproof but it does have a slight amount of play. Which some people report having accuracy issues but mine have been fine. Before using Greg's design, they were using the design by Tim Bixler of SCRC fame. https://www.google.com/patents/US4893426?dq=4,893,426&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAGoVChMIwbb589bfxgIVR6QeCh2NawDb  This design uses NO springs and mounts rock solid with ZERO play. It is slower to remove / install and can be mounted incorrectly as many have launched cans downrange not checking to make sure the collar is actually going over the lugs. |

Wow. Somewhat disheartening that they didn't mention changes to 3-lug, but the core was my main concern. Thanks for taking the time to post all that up. From the serial# I gave the guy, the can was built in 2009. Curious now to see what mount is on it.
Also- Do all Gemtechs 3-lug mounts have the same OD threads for going into the can? I have a Gemtech 3-Lug mount I bought for their multimount suppressor, to use on my YHM Cobra M2 9mm. Wondering if that is a "newer" design that I could use on the MK-9K also? |

Thanks you for your input. I went with the Revolution 9 based on the 3 lug lock up and the convertibility to the K configuration. I purchased from the Silencer Shop. Now for the wait
