I want to buy a suppressor to use on my 9mms. I have a carbine, a 92, a GLOCK 19, and a Kahr. It will definately be used on the GLOCK, and it would be nice if I could use it on the Kahr was well. It needs to be small to function reliably on the tilt locking guns. I am not interested in a large can with a recoil booster as they block the sights and make the weapon nose heavy. I also don't want one of the tiny can that will only go 10-15 shots without needing more grease. What are the options for compact cans that will work on these guns? Also, would it be possible to use a 9mm can on a pistol using a .22LR conversion kit? |

I've been looking into getting one myself specifically for my G19. SWAT had a nice in-depth review of the AAC Evolution 9 in this month's issue. It was a very well-done in-depth analysis of this can using different pistols and a rather large round count for the review. I was very impressed since it isn't the usual superficial crap you see in most mags. Anyway, based on the research the AAC Evo 9 works incredibly well with the G19 and a Jarvis barrel and suppressed that pistol better than any of the others during test. It's now officially on my wish list. |
The Evo is a very nice can. The AAC Spider II is smaller in length and diameter and only weighs 1/3 as much as the Evo. The trade off is that the Spiders require grease that only lasts about 15 rounds before suppression deminishes considerably. |
The one in the review had the option of running it wet and it lasted for like 30 rounds. It also worked quite well dry. It seems like a very nice piece of equipment. I hope to get one sometime before year end. |
The Spider II? |
Sorry, no -- the Evolution 9. My statement was a bit confusing, sorry. It looks the Evolution won't fit your needs though as it's a larger can and I *think* you'd need to replace your sights on the pistol if you wanted to sight in while shooting with the can. |
