Looking to pick up another pistol suppressor. Found a good deal on a Gemtech GM-9 and GM-45. Thinking about picking one up but not sure which to get. Only plan to shoot 9mm currently but do have a couple of .45s that some day I may want to shoot suppressed also. However the biggest drive in my selection would be best performance between these options.

Gemtech lists the following "sound reduction" -

GM-45 32-35 db wet and 21-23 db dry

GM-9  27-30 db

Multimount  34 db

Does this mean the multi mount has the best performance of the three? or am I reading these wrong?

Any input would be helpful. thanks

I have a GM-9 and like it well enough. It's quiet, compact and lightweight....however, since it's a monocore design, the outer tube is exposed to carbon and such.

Beyond that, I like it.

The Multimount is going to be more quiet due to its K-baffle core, compared to the GM--9 monocore.

I haven't touched a GM-45, so I cannot comment.

The new Multimount is user serviceable, FWIW.

The Gemtech GM series of pistol cans are known for not being the quietest but are the lightest. I bought a MultiMount due to how cheap it was but would love to have a GM-9.

I just read a review on a GM-9 from a guy on another webpage that basic said the GM-9 sucks. Anybody else have first hand knowledge of them?

I use mine on a 3-lug MP5K and it works fine. It is 1.25 and short so do not expect TiRant9 performance.

Sucks how?

I read that review too, and that guy is retarded. It sounds great on my Glock 19 and MK25.

Like Renegade said, don't expect Ti-Rant 9 performance, but it's not loud either. It's actually quiet nice.

Sorry I did not respond back but the posts below saw the review I was talking about.

Thanks

Thanks all.

I think I will forgo the GM-9 and GM-45. I already have a multimount.

Was only looking at these three because I was finding good sales on them, all under $500. Figured I could pick up another pistol can. I would have no issues getting multimount but i'm thinking now maybe I get something made by somebody else. All my suppressors so far are Gemtech or Ops Inc.

The Triant-9 was mentioned before. How do these compare to the multimount as far as sound wise?

Any other good suggestions that won't break the bank?

Full size tirants are discontinued and were/are the queitest pistol can out there.
