I have a Multimount, it works well enough, but I wanted something smaller so I'm rolling my own. Submitted the stamp back in June, so hopefully it'll be approved next month.

tirant 9 Since the Rant 9 is the only 9mm can I own I will have to agree.

Not sure why you guys think the Ti-Rant 9 is 1.25"...

Gemtech GM-9, AAC Illusion, and Surefire Ryder seem to be the most popular factory 1.25" offerings.

If I were going for a 1.25" OD can right now- Id be looking for a Surefire Ryder 9 Ti. I will be getting one down the road.

Why 1.25?
I can certainly understand shorter than the typical 8-9" but what benefit is to be gained from a smaller diameter? |

Remember reading on here, it was 133dB I believe. Dealers price was $700. Another member posted photos. I like the way it comes apart, assembles. Like the fit and finish of it. I like that its a smaller diameter so don't necessarily need TALL sights.

I like that its a smaller diameter so don't necessarily need TALL sights. On most pistols, a 1.25" can will still occlude the factory sights. So this isn't really a very good reason to go for a 1.25 can, and once you get tall sights, they will clear even the standard size 1.375" cans. Or you could just shoot with standard sights using both eyes open and look "through" the can. Either way, no real advantage to a 1.25. The smaller diameter does, however, have a noticeably slimmer profile. |

I could see a larger than 1.25 can limiting the lights you can mount on a pistol rail.

The 1.25" cans also have the advantage of fitting under the slim rails in use these days when used on AR9s

Well, I'm sure it feels slimmer, because it is slimmer, but the reduction in performance compared to reducing the length for a similar reduction of weight seems counter productive to me. I.E. I would rather have a 6" long 1.35" can than a 7" long 1.25. |

which one is best/quietest? I currently have an octane 9 HD and now understand why they make 9mm cans in smaller diameter. Wait a few weeks and we will find out. Illusion, Ryder are just coming to market, add in GM-9 and a good comparison will be made. I will have all three in my hands in a few weeks. |

Your sample size is what? One? Some lights are slimmer. I have a IR laser that hits a 1.375 can, but not a 1.25 I prefer the 1.25 and welcome the move back. 1.25 still provides good suppression and has a smaller, nimbler feel. There are more sight options on top that work too. |

I didn't realize that was the complaint until you mentioned blocking the laser. I couldn't picture how any 1.35 or 1.375 can would physically interfere with a light that a 1.25 wouldn't. |

Yes this is even more of an issue on black box type cans such as osprey We will see how much room illusion offers 1.25 but most of it is below bore. |

By way of comparison, these three 9mm cans are 1.375”, 1.25” and .98”. A .125” difference doesn’t sound like much but it is very noticeable in hand.

5 years ago everyone couldn't abandon 1.25" cans fast enough because the 1.375" cans were so vastly quieter. It makes me chuckle to see all these people lining up to buy them now. I think their applications are real but limited.
