Got myself a VP9 tactical on saturday, got to shoot it this morning. I want to get a suppressor for it and am trying to figure out just what company makes a suppressor that would play nice with the euro threading on the VP9.

I am aware that hkparts sells an adaptor, but before I go deciding to getting that i figure i should at least see what is available in the native tread.

If I am to get suppressor I do want one that is on the quiet side, so if that means I need the adaptor and then to get a half x 29 can, I will.

Guess I just want to know what my options are.

Thank you!

	Although I have a death wish, it's not been granted yet.

I've been using an AAC Ti-Rant 9M HD with AAC Ti-Rant 9M HD Piston, M13.5x1LH on the VP9 and P30L. Simple swap to the 3-lug piston for the HK SP5.

I like shorter cans, the Silencerco Omega 9K is nice on a pistol.

My Ospreys sound amazing, but no matter how I set them up the twist all around on the barrel.
