I'm thinking about getting a suppressed upper for my 9mm AR in the future. Just wanted to know what  models and why.

+1 on the Trident. It's a great can.  I use it on TROS 9.5 inch 3 lug barrel.

I just paid for a new YHM Wraith.  I will use it on my Glock and my 9mm AR.  I'll let you know how it is in about 9 weeks

I run a LRM M-169  9mm intregal suppressed upper.

The benefits:
Quiet

Runs cheap 115gr 9mm at subsonic speeds. No need to get 147 grain ammo.

Quiet

Comes with everything needed to run it on your lower.

Quiet

The Cons:

Needs (2) $200 tax stamps in order for you to use it on your lower. (1) to SBR your lower, and (1) for the suppressor. There is a 16in available.

Cannot move it to another host.

I love mine. Did I mention that it is quiet?

I have a Gemtech Trinity on a 9.25" TROS 3 lug.  I got it because my local dealer had it in stock.  It is plenty quiet for me, I guess some are quiter but all I really wanted was not to piss off my neighbors and not need earplugs.  It is also nice and light and the changable mounts are cool too.

I set my upper up as follows

5 inch barrel with tros 3 lug
YHM FF handgaurds
SWR QD3K

To this point I am very happy with it

I use an AAC Phantom with stainless steel baffles rated for full auto fire. It's short, it's light, it's quite.

KAC, but I don't think they make them anymore. (sorry for the craptacular pic)

My suppressor was made by Scott Bell.  It is very quiet and lightweight.  I don't know if he is still building them, or not.

I am sure OPS INC will have a 38th model that is so quiet from several hundred feet away that no one could hear it or detect the direction from which the sound came.    

I own the LRM 169 and the Gemtech Trinity/Talon system.  I like both of them and each of them get use for different purposes.

That is the EXACT same setup I just put together.  Except I have an Aimpoint on mine.  No pics yet... sorry.

Can you give me some more info on this? Where can I find them. Might have to check it out.

Hmmm....methinks this might be my next project as well!  

Have any of you ever seen a difference in accuracy between the 5 and 9 inch barrels?

I've never compared the two, but my 5" TROS barrel shoots plenty good for me.
Here it is with a Gemtech Raptor.  Thinking of going with a midlength HG later on, but I like shooting without the can sometimes for comparison.

Another vote for the LRM M169, for all the reasons cited above.

Here's a video clip on LRM's web site of me shooting short bursts through mine at Hernando. Yes, that's supersonic 115-grain Federal. And yes, it is ".22RF" quiet.


Naw, its not 22RF quiet, but its a great product and I do think everyone should have one.  

(Tony, dude, 9mm is no where in the same ballpark as 22RF)

As stated above, Do Not expect Hollywood quiet, suppressed 22RF quiet, or Spooky quiet. It just does not happen with real life suppressors other than the LRM 77/22 Vidar. What you will get is a nice sounding suppressed 9mm upper capable of firing inexpensive 115 gr 9mm ammo that is hearing safe even in an enclosed room. Out in the open it is very quiet.

The price of a good 9mm can, Tax stamp, 9mm upper, and mag block will put you at about the same price of the LRM upper. Like I said before, you cannot move it to another host. That doesn't bother me as I have my suppressed 22's to shoot. Anything above a suppressed 22 on a pistol does not do it for me. 147gr 9mm SS ammo is alot more expensive than 22 ammo. LOL!!!!!!
