I have a few Dead Air cans on order, one of which being the 45 cal can but I do not have any pistols with a threaded barrel other than a 22. I want to pick up my first suppressor host pistol and I'm torn between a Sig P320 Carry 9mm or a USP 9 SD. P320 I can get on their mil pricing for around 550 and the USP seems to be around 800. I already have a USP 40 compact as my nightstand gun so I know and love the ergos of the USP platform. The Sig does feel great in the hand though.

Thoughts?

Why not just get a threaded barrel for what you already love?

You can shoot 40 through a 45 suppressor.  It's usually even a little quieter with most brands due to the increased size.

What pistols do you have already?  Some of my favorite pistol hosts have aftermarket barrels

Have your favorite gun threaded. It's expensive but so are suppressors. You only do it once.

Another one for get a threaded barrel.  Tell us what you have and we can point you in the right direction.    

Keep in mind that with 9 mm and .40 much off the shelf ammo will not be subsonic or could be borderline depending on the barrel length.  With .45 most(but not all) will be subsonic.

If you don't reload this could affect availability of ammo that will perform best for you.

Get an after market barrel for one of your guns.  I'm will be using a SW MP 40l with a KKM 40 to 9mm conversion threaded barrel with 9mm magazines.

Pistols suck, get an MP5.

I just bought a Kriss vector gen 2 as a carbine or even just a pistol.
For my HK handguns I bought HK threaded barrels when they went on sale

Also hard to beat the walther  PPX threaded for $300

The way I see it, suppressors go on guns, guns don't go on suppressors.

I never understand people asking what gun to buy for their can.

Pick a caliber you like
Pick a gun you like
Get a threaded barrel

Like many others I'd just suggest getting a threaded barrel for whichever one if your current pistols that you'd like to shoot suppressed, not the other way around.

I would also suggest staying away from the compact or sub compacts if you have a choice - usually a slightly larger pistol/regular size pistol will cycle better with a full size can hanging off the muzzle.

If you have a shorter or modular can it will probably cycle better, but G19's and G26's aren't notoriously great hosts for full size cans, for example.  And this isn't bashing on glock either, just using two pistols that most everyone could identify with and relate to size wise.
