Its a coin flip.
Either one will work great. |

I bought an Osprey .45 and it's proven to be a great can for all of my centerfire handguns.
You really can't go too far wrong with either. Get the best deal you can, and go from there. |

Whichever is in stock and whatever the better deal is. It really is a coin toss and either one will serve you equally well.

I've heard a lot of good things about both, but (only my opinion) the Osprey is ugly. I will be going with a TiRant .45 very very soon.
If you like the looks of the Osprey I hear that they perform very well, I just like the looks of the TiRant. |

They both work very well to suppress .45acp to hearing safe levels. I personally went with the Osprey just because I found it balanced better when attached to a pistol. The AAC TiRant was more front heavy when attached to a pistol.

I'm in the same boat, but 9mm. I've been waiting for an Octane, but I'm going to change my order tomorrow. I'm leaning towards the Osprey. I like the looks and profile of the can, plus Silencerco seems to be a hell of a company. I'm already waiting on a SS Sparrow that should be at my local dealer soon. I do like that the Ti-Rant can be indexed and disassembled though. It really is a toss-up.
ETA: Bought the Osprey |

As soon as my dealer gets in the .45 Ospreys, I will be doing my paperwork that evening. I met the guys from Silencerco at shot last year and they and they were awesome to talk with and I just knew when the time for a .45 can I would be getting one of theirs.

Here's my opinion on these two cans:
Tirant +: Lighter Sounds quieter to human ear according to most first hand reports User serviceable and cleanable Can be indexed, to change point of impact Piston changes are quick and tool-less Low first round pop Tirant -: Looks strange because it's so freaking long Costs more If tube is damaged - you're screwed Obscures sights more Osprey +: Cheaper Meters quieter on electronic meter. Obscures sights less Shape makes it apparent if it starts to loosen If tube is damaged, entire front half is replaceable Osprey -: Louder first round pop Not user serviceable Looks strange because it's so freaking square Slower piston changes - requires tools? |

Slight edge going to the tirant, but it's very close the osprey is actually lighter. look here.http://www.silencertalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=59299 seriously, just pick which ever one looks better to you |

ha, with all that carbon build up that comes from a .45....I wonder how many shots it really does take before there would be a noticeable db difference though. I mean, like a difference of 5 or more db. It has to be an absurd amount. |

go with Osprey because
-it's shorter and achieves the same db on paper as TiRant -ability to holster because where are you going to put it when you're loading rounds into your magazines -serialized part is less likely to be damaged. ETA ????? AAC says only the piston is removable and cleanable. Not the baffle stack. from AAC website: "For 2011, users will be able to remove the 17-4 PH stainless steel and hard coat anodized 7075-T6 aluminum alloy baffles from the Grade 9 Titanium tube for cleaning and maintenance using a supplied end cap spanner. " |

" holstering a suppressed pistol really isn't that cool and is pretty damn difficult to find a holster to fit a suppressor. Further more, you couldn't pay me to holster a suppresed pistol that had been used very much. It would rape your thigh. We could honestly go back and forth like this all day, just pick which ever you think looks cooler. I went osprey, but will probably buy a tirant at some point in the future or until they come up with something cooler <edit> the serialized part is a good point though. I also like how they offered to upgrade the sparrow, so wishful thinking suggests that maybe they would do the same for the osprey if they ever upgrade it. |

Both are great cans with great support
The tirant comes apart and I like that even ifc its not needed for 10k rounds. they are both very efficient suppressors. They are hard to tell apart when shot side by side. |

My stamped Form4 just came it today for my 45 TiRant. I went right from the gun shop to the range and put 150 rounds through it. Man this thing is quiet with 230 gr fmj (most 230 gr. fmj is sub-sonic). I went with the TiRant because I didn't like the way the Ospray looked on my FNP-45 Tactical. Even though it has the general shape of the FNP the suppressor does have larger dimensions and because there is almost a 1" gap between the end of the slide and suppressor it looked goofy to me. I like the looks of a round can on this particular weapon better. Pics to follow shortly.
ETA: My stamped Form4 took exactly 12 weeks to the day, mailbox to mailbox. MadDog

I vote osprey. I have a 45Osprey, but ever since I found the 1/2x28piston+G23/19w/Lone Wolfe barrel+158gr Fiocchi subsonics, it has quickly become my favorite combo. I cannot emphasize how quiet the combo is. Here is a vid of it, but I am using 124gr nato ammo, hence the bullet crack.

Osprey.
Its true you cant make a mistake with either choice but I give the edge to the Silencerco Osprey. The Tirant had a steep asking price until Silencerco appeared on the market. They quickly dropped the price to be competitive. Silencerco also is a lot more responsive to customer requests or needs. They have done custom mods for people quickly and seem attentive to actual feedback. They are crystal clear doing video comparison tests of various cans (theirs Vs. others) on several weapons and ammo combination's. This makes a statement unlike any other company. The only reason to go Tirant is IF you desire a can you can take apart IMHO. This was not a concern or consideration for my purchase. I do have an AAC M4-2000 and its a great can but getting it and the needed and required blackout mount (not included) took a LONG time and many calls to get. AAC makes great stuff but the biggest complaint is their sloooow customer service (at least when I got mine a year ago). AAC makes the BATFE look fast at times.

I went with the Ti-Rant and am glad I did. I tried a friends Ospray on my FNP45-Tactical and did not like the way it looked. Since the db suppresson is almost identical and the weight is almost the same, the Ti-Rant was a no-brainer for me.

It might not be worth it to you as they only reduce the overall suppressor length by 3/8" or so, but they are an option for the FN .45 because the barrel already has such a long exposure out of the front of the slide. I have a USP tactical and am seriously thinking of getting the FN because I have a fastfire on my Glock and I really like it - (not an option with the USP). Have you had any ammo feeding problems with your FN? |

The case comes standard with the FNP45 Tactical. There is a small parts pouch that the optic mounting plates comes in and two mag pouches. The fourth pouch had the cable lock in it which I trashed and put my suppressor in it's place. MadDog |

Remember that what the human ear hears is different than what meters pick up.
The Osprey meters better than the Gemtech multimount, but when I ran my Multimount against my friend's Osprey I was surprised that myself and others thought the Multimount sounded quieter. Kinda like how the KAC rifle can's numbers aren't so hot, but in person they sound great. |

Stoneman, remember, I told you, a friend of mine whose father is a Silencerco dealer came to my house with his Osprey 45. We shot the Osprey and the TiRant side by side on a Sig Combat and on a Glock 21. We shot both suppressors dry. We switched both suppressors around from host to host. You should have seen the look on his dad's face when he had to say "The TiRant's quieter." We also listened to both suppressors on both different hosts from about 30 yards away. TiRant .45 was still quieter. We did not shoot wet because that would negate the purpose of having a can that is supposed to quiet when shot dry.
