Best in suppression, best value, is there any more qualification?

Well, when are you going to do your reviews on them?

Overall, my choice is SWR. I've never shot a trinity but have shot an evo.

Any particular reason why the SWR over the EVO?
I haven't shot either one.

Clippen.

To my ears, the Trident was quieter, both compared using same ammo on the same g19. The can also felt lighter than the evo. The can is also more compact on my beretta. At the time I bought it, I was aware of no 3 lug mount for my 9mm sbr(evo). Finally the price point was better. That's just my $.02 and the reasons I went with the trident over the evo.

I was just curious.

June 2.  I am working on the specifics now, and if anyone wants to come watch the trials, let me know.  

For those that dont know what I am talking about...

From www.silencerresearch.com


on the weekend of June 2, 2007 and will be an extensive test of popular 9mm silencers on popular 9mm pistols.  It will be done as follows:

Tests will include the Beretta 92FS, the Glock 17, the Sig Sauer P226 Tactical and the H&K USP 9SD
The Gemtech Trinity, the Advanced Armament Corp. Evolution 9, and the new SWR Trident (changed from the SWR Shadow 9) will be tested on each pistol
Each pistol will be fitted with each silencer and one of each type of popular 147 grain ammunition type will be tested for dB reduction, ballistics and accuracy.
I will use the accepted standard for testing silencers (Mil-Std 1474D)
A Ransom Rest will be used to hold to strict standards in accuracy and will be recorded from 25 yards separately from the sound level portion of the test.

I voted for the Trident 9, because that is what I have. I realize that my choice is bias, but I am really happy with its performance on both my G17 and my 5" Tros barreled SBR.

I also have first hand experience with a Trinity, and while it is a good can, the Trident was better in sound reduction, atleast to my ears it was.

I have zero experience with an Evo 9.

I'm looking forward to the test. Thanks for setting it up!

+1, Best for what?
I've got a Trinity and Trident.  I like the Trinity better for the 9mm Beretta (I also don't use a booster on my Beretta w/ the Trinity) due to its smaller diameter than the Trident.
I like the Trident for light-medium duty SMG use because of its light weight, short length and stainless blast baffle.
For heavy SMG use (doing drum dumps and some SMG matches) my favorite is the Gemtech MK9K for its large volume.  It doesn't get as hot as fast as the Trident or Trinity and I like the way it sounds over everything else.

I like my Matrix for my 92fs and 22 mosquito use and am insulted that my choice wasn't listed! (just kidding :-p

I've no experience with the SWR, I've played with Trinity & Evo9, both were nice, but too big for my mall ninja requirements. Gotta be sneaky, ya see.

I bought the Trident, but not having actually handled and heard it side by side with a Trinity or an Evo I'm not going to vote.  Once mine comes in I hope to have a chance to try it next to the others listed.  I'll look forward to the test results.
