So I'm looking for a GREAT 9mm can.  I've shot the Trident, and that has been my choice for another 9mm can all along.  Now I'm hearing about the Multimount.  Which should I get and why?

I don't see how you could possibly go wrong with the Trident, but I haven't heard the GemTech.  This is just for pistol use, right?

I don't have any experience shooting the Gemtech MultiMount.

I like the Trident-9 and have used it on various weapons.  It cycles reliably in my experience and sounds great.  

Both are from good, respected companies.

Do you have a local dealer with both products you could try?

This will be primarily for use on my 9mm AR.  I'm gonna migrate my Phantom9 over to pistol-only duty.  Another member here has a Trident on his 9mm AR and it sounds really good to my ear.  I wish I had a local dealer who would carry both and let me hear them together, but I don't think I have any stocking Gemtech dealers around these parts.  Like I said, I was already leaning towards the Trident, but I have been hearing rumblings about the Multimount so I thought I'd look into it a bit more.

If it's for a long gun, I always recommend the Gemtech MK-9K and the AWC MK9 to people.  The beauty of a smaller can like the Trident is that  you can use it on a sidearm as well as a long gun, but a dedicated subgun can sounds best on a long gun IMO.

I tend to agree with what you just said.  The only problem for me is that I have only actually fired the Trident.  I would like to think that the MK9's would be quieter and sound better, but I don't want to blindly buy one and hope that to be the case.  I don't exactly have a plethora of stocking dealers around here.

Yeah, I feel your pain.

I can virtually guarantee you the MK9/MK9K is going to be quieter than the trident on a long gun.  I have heard all 3 mentioned cans but not under controlled circumstances and obviously I'm not a sound meter either.  The MK9/9K are very impressive cans -- they're giggle quiet on a 9mm rifle.

ETA: The last time this topic came up I referred the OP over to uzitalk.com.  As you can imagine those guys have quite a bit of experience with suppressing 9mm carbines and there have been some good threads on the subject.

A Trident on a 9mm AR SBR(or Uzi) sounds quieter(to me and the other shooters that heard it) than the Mk9K mounted on the same gun.  I have shot them both side by side and the Trident wins hands down.  Plus isn't the Trident lighter than the MK9K?
