im not very knowledgeable about suppressors just yet so bear with me, is this one unique because it can switch between 9mm pistols and rifles? or is it just able to switch out between thread patterns? i understand hk and sigs threads differ from the "standard"? what about the tundra? id like one 9mm can i can put on any pistol i will eventually own, and i will own hk, glock, sig, beretta and so on |

With the MM9 you can buy multiple thread pitch boosters, as well as a 3 lug adapter and I believe a boosterless screw cap
It's also rated for limited FA I believe The Tundra you can get multiple thread mount boosters In different thread pitches as well, just not the screw cap or three lug, also i don't think it's FA rated. This would be a better question for the suppressor section of the armory or the gem tech industry forum |

If you will primarily use it on a pistol, I would go with either the Silencerco Osprey or Advanced Armament Ti-rant. These are the best available right now, IMO.
The Osprey is a beautiful, eccentric design with a serialized booster housing. That way, if you have a baffle strike or your silencer tube gets ruined it can be replaced without having to buy an entirely new can. The Ti-Rant is an equally beautiful traditionally styled cylindrical silencer. The newer models come apart for cleaning. If you're a fanatic like me and you have to be able to clean every weapon or accessory that you own, this is good. These are the top two choices. The only other 9mm that I would consider is the "Liberty Suppressors" Mystic, as it can be disassembled for cleaning and is designed to be strong enough to withstand the pressure of many other calibers. Remember that centerfire pistol cans get old. Don't get me wrong, they look absolutely badass and artistic. The chicks really dig them. But they're heavy, they lead you around corners and aren't exactly hollywood quiet. Think of a car-door slamming, baseball being hit by a bat or a 2x4 piece of wood being struck full-force by a hammer. Forget concealment. Forget lightning-fast target aquisition. In spite of these disadvantages, if you still require their ballistic capabilities for your specific suppressed application, all the more power to you. I feel that the additional weight and length added to a suppressed centerfire pistol is a definite handicap. Also remember that targets wearing body armour "equalize" the usefulness of most traditional pistol calibers, either way. Deafening Impulse Noise in close quarters is a weapon of it's own kind and unsuppressed can be an advantage. For truly quiet pistol work, I personally prefer suppressed .22LR. It's beyond hollywood quiet in a compact, lightning fast and concealable package. There aren't many living creatures that enjoy getting shot in the throat, neck or skull with rimfire. If for some reason they can withstand it and still pose a threat, you probably shouldn't have picked a fight with a pistol. YMMV. |
| Spend a little more and get a Liberty Mystic http://libertycans.net/mystic.html. Good for all kinds of calibers, from 22 up to 308 Subsonic with a bunch of different mount options. |
