If you are looking for something with good suppression but a bit more compact, the Curtis Tactical CT9KS or the version they make for Shaw (https://www.shawarms.com/products/thundercan-5176-7191aa71-0d15-454d-8bef-9719e1028535) would be a good choice.
On Pew Science, the OSS Cash9k has the best ear rating and is quite small. |

My Wolfman and Omega 9K are my fav cans for my MP5’s. The YHM R9 is another. Just picked up my Rad 9 yesterday and hoping to shoot it this weekend.

I don’t have an R9, but I do have a Nitro N2O. I’ve also got an OCL Lithium in jail but will be there for a while unless I get lucky. |

I love my Wolfman. It's very versatile and modular, so I can run it in long mode or short mode. I can use 556 or 30 cal flash suppressor end caps, or the flat 9mm end cap. I can also use it with DA Xeno, Griffin Plan A, 3-lug or direct thread.
As a rifle K can, it's not bad in short mode with DA Xeno (11 3/8oz) or Plan A (11 1/4oz), and it's only a slight bit longer than a Turbo K with the same mounts. It's perfect for a 14.5" or 16" 556 (or probably 300BO carbine, I don't own one of those). I've used it as a K-can on my AUG quite a bit. With a 3-lug it's a bit heavy, a little over 14oz in short mode and over 18.5oz in long mode. I mostly use it in long mode on a RDB 5" barreled 9mm AR15 so it's not ungainly there (it lives on that gun actually), but on a longer gun, I only use it in short mode. Sound wise, in long mode it sounds better than my CGS Kraken on that highly tuned 5" 9mm AR. In short mode, I think the Kraken sounds better, but is more gassy so I still like the Wolfman better. |

Imo, they are going to all be roughly the same. It's going to come down to ammo imo. U get 147 or 158 ammo and it's going to have a completely different sound signature vs 115 and 124.
That being said my gemtech tundra lives on my mp5. I've used my octane 9 and 45 on it and I didn't see any difference. |

I have an Omega 9K and Tirant 9 both with 3 lugs for my mp5s. I absolutely love the O9K. I want a second one to keep boosters in for handguns. It's slightly louder than the tirant but not by as much as you'd expect. Great sound for its size.

I've used an Obsidian 45 and Wolfman on my MP5 clone and can't tell the difference between them. I like that the obsidian is user serviceable, so I can shoot 160gr lead bullets through it. I also like the fact that it's overbore and provides more protection against a baffle or end cap strike vs a 9mm can. There is enough wobble with most 3 lug mounts that depending on alignment, a baffle strike is a possibility. I've had a few keyholes using the wolfman with 3 lug adapter on a banshee, I presume due to the bullet being deflected by the end cap. I have an Omega 45k in jail and it looks like it would be a great MP5 suppressor.

I use my Sig SRD-45 because I don’t have a 9mm can yet. It works great. Make sure you use heavier ammo that is subsonic, and you get movie like suppression.

Another Wolfman vote, sounds great on the MP5 and with .300blk subs. Nice that it works with 556 and 7.62x39 as well, although in short mode it definitely ain’t quiet with those.

I'm going to go against the grain and say the ECCO Machine TLX (https://www.eccomachine.net/product/tlx/). I've got one waiting on a stamp right now, so I can't opine on the sound quality unfortunately. 10 baffle titanium can (with an added tri-lug mount) for under 6.5 ounces, 4 ounces with the standard direct thread mount so you can use it on a pistol without a booster. All for a very reasonable price point as well.

I love my Obsidian 9 on my AP5. Sounds good in both long and short configuration.
A friend has a Tyrant 9 and that also sounds great. I agree with what someone else already said. Regardless of what suppressor you use, ammo will play the biggest role. I load my own subsonic 147 grain, and have shot and chrongraphed different loads and shot them through 6 guns. |

Out of my Maxim 9 my self-defense loads of 5.1gr N350 under a 147gr HST has significantly more port pop than the same bullet under 3.7gr of N320. |

Is it user serviceable? I wonder how long it stays “flow through” before it starts clogging up. Appears to say it is aluminum so somewhat limited on solvents you could use on it, but I don’t see if it is user serviceable anywhere. |

GSL Phoenix is also an excellent option. It is big though. When I shoot it next to my RDTS SD and you can't really tell a difference. You can take it apart to clean. Also, Greg is super nice and helpful.

Yes and I really like it. There are quieter cans out there but you can't beat the attachment method (and reduced backpressure). Just throwing this out there as an option for those who don't know about it. If I only had one MP5 and wanted the quietest experience, I'd probably go GSL Phoenix dedicated, or RS9 for the MP5k.

I’ve got a GSL Phoenix and agree it is a great can, but as you probably know, the ports and passages start to fill up with buildup. Luckily you can clean the GSL, but if the B&T is not user serviceable, I’d be afraid the passages would start to clog up. Have you shot it enough to witness anything like that, such as at the muzzle vents? |

Have you shot it enough to witness anything like that, such as at the muzzle vents? @peachy It is not user serviceable in a traditional manner (taking it apart). B&T does have a recommended cleaning procedure: use their recommended solvent, plug suppressor and pour it in for 10-15 minutes, then rinse it out and let it air dry for 24 hours, or use compressed air. Their recommended product takes all the carbon out: https://schletek-guntuning.de/index.php/en/products/schalld%C3%A4mpfer-reiniger-evolution-detail The flow-through nature of the can makes it cycle well on an AP5-P (mp5k) without 80 degree locking piece, and the attachment method makes it simple to switch between multiple trilug firearms. |

A wolf man(full size) on an SP5 147g ammo. Sounds amazing. It sounds as if someone is just cycling the action to me, then hearing the bullet smack the target.
