So I'm looking at doing some 41F panic buying and my local dealer has the following 45 cans in stock:

Ti-rant FDE for $629
Ti-rant M for $689
Octane HD for $729

It will be running on a FDE FNP Tactical for now but perhaps a 1911 later and maybe some 300BO subs and I have a Multi mount 9, Phantom .223 and a Sparrow so you know what I'm already working with.

Please help me decide so I can call them back and buy while they still have stock. I'm leaning towards the FDE ti-rant but convince me.

Thanks

I only have the Octane and have never shot the tiRant

Which one is more important to you? Pure performance? TiRant. Ease of cleaning? Octane.

TiRant is a little quieter and mounts are harder to come by.

Octane is easier to clean and more mounting options and possibilities.

This.  I've got two Octane 45's, a 45k, and four different TiRANT's (two 9, a 9s, and a 45s).  The TiRANT's are quieter but the Octane's are easier to clean.  Both are solid cans.  Pick what's more important to you.

Of those 3, I'd probably go Tirant 45M. I don't think there is a bad option in the 3 but with the 45M you will get the modular feature.

The TiRant FDE would look really nice on a 1911..specially with the TiRant Short Piston:

Ti-Rant 45M is 2-3dB quieter than the standard Ti-Rant 45 due to a couple improvements. With our testing (we are sure outhers will complain or dispute) it's one of the quietest pistol silencers we have ever tested if your into that.

And yes it does take longer to clean by about 60-90 seconds...

Any chance at being able to upgrade a Ti-Rant 45 to Ti-Rant 45M ?

No sorry its a different platform. The original is outstanding and on the M we made too many changes to be able to interchange parts for any sort of conversion or upgrade.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm pretty sure I am going with the TiRant FDE

I did the Ti-Rant 45M, best of both worlds.
And to the guy who said pistons are hard to come by, has clearly not Googled
for them in a while; they're everywhere now.

TiRant gets my vote. Love mine and its easy enough to clean.

I would go for the Ti-Rant M personally. But either TI-Rant is a solid can.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Octane 45 has17-4 stainless baffles, TR M has aluminum baffles.  If that matters to you.


Me bought some TRM 45 and Obsidian 45, they are still in the NFA jail.

Partially true.

Edit: The AAC Ti-Rant 45M

The base section (closest to the firearm) is 17-4 Stainless Steel, the short, end section is 7075 T6 Aluminum, down where there is almost zero blast wear.

With the release of the Rugged Supressors Obsidian, all other .45ACP Supressors went obsolete...

No, definitely not obsolete.  The obsidian does appear to be a great can though, and I'll probably end up with one at some point.

While the Obsidian appears to be a fine can, I'd hardly consider all others to be obsolete in comparison.  I personally don't need, or necessarily want, a convertible suppressor can.  Why not?  Well, because I'll never use the full size configuration.  In its K configuration, the Obsidian, from the data I could find, does not suppress as well as the Octane 45K.  Why would I want to pay more for a feature that I'll never use, a can that would not suppress as well, and one that is over an ounce heavier in its K configuration?  From my perspective, and my wants/needs, the Obsidian is actually inferior.  Plus, I think it's pretty darn ugly.

The DB in the K configuration is about the same; the Surge is shorter than the the Octane 45K. As for being more expensive I just paid $655 for an Obsidian about the same as I did for my Revo 45.

Yeah the avg DB are the same, but, I guess it's the FRP that I didn't like about the Obsidian.

I have the same pistol and I put the OctaneHD on it. I LOVE it. I also run a 9mm piston in it for my glocks, and the fixed mount on my 300 black upper.

Has anyone been able to test the Razor against the others discussed here?  How did it fare?


Already have the full size Osprey and Octane .45, so now considering  the Razor.

Razor is a 30 cal can not 45.  Did you mean obsidian?
