[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What can is everyone running on their MPX?

for those of you that can (no pun intended)

I haven't shot my MPX yet, but I've got the AAC Ti-Rant 9, SilencerCo Octane 9, Gemtech Multimount and the Liberty Infiniti. I like the Infiniti on pistol caliber carbines the most. If I were buying a suppressor for a PCC today, I'd definitely consider the Liberty Mystic for that purpose. Good luck.

I'll have a Griffin Revo on it whenever the ATF decides I can have it....

Will run my Octane on mine. Related question. Anybody make a 3 lug adapter for the MPX's 13.5x1 threads?

I'm planning on my octane 45. Waiting on money for adapters and such.

I'm leaning towards the octane 45 as well.

Not sure i want to go 9mm specific, but I've heard good things about the mystic.

I just shot the first 3 rounds through my MPX using a Tirant 45. The spacer came in today. It was real quiet. Sounded like you dropped a phone book. More of a slap than a boom.

I run an octane 9 and notice that its a little over gasses.
Sounds great. Going to get the barrel chopped down. I have ran about 3k through it so far.
Tirrant was a edge quieter but only noticed it with a 158.

Although oddly enough the tirrant 45 had = or greater back pressure.

Just to troll those who don't have the build done yet.

Ti-Rant 9S.

If you're looking for a .45 can, I would give the Ti-Rant 45M a look.

Damn the 9s looks awesome on there! Not helping me resist the MPX.

If you don't want to limit yourself to a 9mm can, I've got the Octane 45 and Ti-Rant 45 also, and I like the tone of the Ti-Rant 45 over the Octane 45. I also like the ease of changing out the pistons on the Ti-Rants over the Octanes. Don't get me wrong, the Octane is also a great can. Good luck.

Going to look even better once I have the 4.5" barrel.

Just a note, people should look at the Griffin Revolution (either 9 or 45). Sound suppression is on par with most others in full size configuration, but you can also use it shortened with a detachable end cap and only lose a few dbs of suppression. Just putting another word out there for a relatively newer suppressor that nobody else was really mentioning.

Yes you can although silencerco might not like it since you are going to lose out on some internal volume from the 3lug mount.

So in turn you will lose out on suppression right? That is the main reason why I had wished I would have got a Rev over the Octane. Not now though.

I hate the Octane 3 lug mount. It adds so much length.

Wait. You guys are using the 3 lug mount versus the regular piston and a spacer?

I thought 147's were suprisingly quiet even with the loss of space due to the Griffin adapter

Looking at your MCX is that the mini 556 or 762?

If its the 556 mini can you use it on that barrel length?

No technically I can not under warranty.

I've only shot it with my -212 which worked fine, I just put the Mini 556 on there because the 9S and Mini are the same length. I'm sure it would have no problem with the 9" barrel just as the -212 didn't have any issues.

Can I play too? Haven't shot it yet, but using a Gemtech GM-9 on mine..........waiting on the fixed barrel spacer for my suppressor.........sucks I gotta wait on a $15 part to come back in stock before I can fully enjoy my MPX.

Tirant 45 with spacer. Looking for a dedicated can that is just as quit, but shorter in length. Remember the MPX uses the 13.5x1 Left hand thread

Did you notice any difference in blowback compared to when it had an 8" barrel? Thanks.

don't care about how cool it looks (does look good)…I'm concerned on function with 4.5" barrel. The 8" barrel is all thats holding me back

Will an Osprey .45 fit under the hand guard? It doesn't look like the threads protrude past the hand guard enough to spin the can on. Would you have to get a short barrel extension to do that?

From a users post on sig forum the default threads do not give enough length to clear the handgaurd for an ospery to screw fully on.
