Been thinking of getting one for my 1911 for some time. Recently aquired a USP in .40, im planning on trading for a .45 USP. I've really been wanting to see what happens of the AAC Black Box, but I'm starting to think i may be waiting a long time. What would the "hive mind" recommend? Preferrably first hand experience. I've had good luck with Gemtech in the past, but i've heard of issued with the Blackside not always cycling properly. Is a LID type device really a must? |
AAC Evo-45. The ASAP piston design of the AAC Evo series cans offers reliability with a variety of host weapons without having to change things like springs in the host. I've seen and shot the Gemtech Blackside and think it is a very nice can, but I just prefer a boostered can. YMMV. I've seen other non-boostered .45 cans break host weapon slides.  The Blackbox project will happen, but I wouldn't count on anything before the year is out. Mark |
 I'm very happy with the SWR HEMSII on both my TAC and Mk23. Lightweight, very quiet, and superb customer service. Mostly, I shoot wet (gel), but have no issues shooting it dry without hearing protection.  ...Not a big fan of my KAC (have adapters for USP and Mk23). It may meter lower than most, but it sounds louder to my ear. |
See... i've had great luck with my Viper .45. But i've heard complaints abotu the Blackside not always working that well. I'd rather have something that always works, than something that needs to be tuned to each piece. |
I remember being at the range with Joe a few years ago when he started working on the .45 cal suppressor. Hearing the sound and comparing the sound quality to my 9mm Omega, I was very impressed. When I noticed that the .45 cal suppressor didn't meter as well as my 9mm suppressor, Joe said it was due to a frequency shift in the .45 cal suppressor which made it "sound" quieter. If I hadn't been reading the meter myself, I would have thought he was full of crap.  Joe is an absolute genius and the HEMSII is one SW-E-E-T can.
