Can everyone post links and or pics of the various muzzle device options avalible for 9mm ARs.
|
Here's my old Oly upper (which I have since sold –– never used it anymore after I got a couple of GL-1s) which I had worked over by the late, great Kurt Wala (RIP  ).I had him cut back the bbl and perm-install his excellent A3 Tac-Brake in 9mm (you'll also notice I had him turn down the bbl under the HGs –– made it very light and handy):  Here it is as it looked assembled...   |

Google is your friend:
YHM Wraith 9mm QD Flash Suppressor, cool looking and mounts a YHM 9mm suppressor, $75 
Smith Vortex 9mm (too long for a 9mm SBR in my opinion, a shorty would be cool) $51 
Spike's Tactical 9mm A2 Birdcage (opened up for 9mm use), only $20 
I asked Todd at Primary Weapons to create a shorter 9mm version of his FSC brakes/flash suppressors, haven't heard back, $99 
American Spirit Arms 9mm A2 birdcage $12 
There are also a few versions of the AR15 phantom flash suppressor available for 9mm 
I would love to find a shorty version of the Smith Vortex or HK G36C style flash suppressor for 9mm use 
There may be an odd 1 or 2 that I've missed but that is generally it for 9mm muzzle devices. Please let me know if there are any 9mm flash suppressors that I don't know about. I'm building up a 7.5" barrel Spikes 9mm and I'm planning on just running the 9mm A2 birdcage unless something cooler comes along, I like that the A2 is very short in length, most of the above are too long and add to much length to the weapon. |
A silencer, of course. 
I've tried a couple of compensators on the 9mm, but they aren't all that effective. They would be even less effective on a 16" gun, as there would be less gas pressure to work with. If you don't want to go the NFA route, get whatever flash hider looks best to you. Or just go with a plain muzzle. It's mostly a matter of personal preference. |
