Hmm, so basically a DA wolf beefed up to handle rifle use? I'm interested.

9mm or .45 bore? I'm assuming it accepts all omega type mounts like the Nomad?

I’d like to hear how the rifle ratings changed from mine that should clear next month

I’d call the wipe a neat novelty

Interested to know if it can do 556. The original Wolf could 300 BO supers, right?

Yes, 300 supers

I know there’s a difference in chamber pressure and muzzle pressure etc but I’d be curious if it’s okay on 8” 300 supers, would it be fine on 16” 556

I’ve got a noisy MP5 that mine will live on and a plethora of 556 cans but I wouldn’t mind using my Wolf on a 6” honey badger type 300 which is already good to go. Just wondering what he ratings might be

It has "9mm" engraved on the tube, so take that FWIW.

For fuck's sake, has this industry not learned what a lack of information does to product announcements?

A caliber rating of "Optimized for 9mm subgun platforms" is not helpful information when you just finished saying "subgun, light duty rifle, and pistol use."

Yup, the wolf 9sd was rated for .300blk supers. Unless they are discontinuing the 9sd I would have to assume this one will handle 5.56 (maybe even .308) if they're advertising it as a light duty rifle can. Otherwise what would be the point of having two cans so similar in their catalog?

From the product information released it will be compatible with Ghost-M and Wolf-9SD accessories but not the Key-Mo style threads.

What is the original Wolf construction? 400 series stainless? I see the Wolfman is 17-4 and it looks like the K configuration is about an inch longer than the K configuration of the Wolf.

I'm so glad I waited to buy the wolf!  I was hoping they would come out with a wipe end cap for it.

But does the wipe end cap only work on the Wolfman?  Will it or can it be sold as an accessory end cap legally since the Sandman and Wolf can share end caps?  I would love a wipe on my sandman L for 300 subs.

I’ll take the old, garbage Wolf-9SD off anyone’s hand for $100, and I’ll even pay the transfer tax.



ETA: glad I waited too. The extra inch in the short configuration allowing for a bit more dB reduction would push me into the Wolfman camp instead of the Omega 9K.

It's a 9mm bore subgun can.  Why would you want to use it on 5.56?  It would have to be 3-lug or direct thread, unless they changed the rear mounting threads.

A 9mm can that could also handle occasional 5.56 use would probably be a very popular first suppressor purchase for many people. Griffin has demonstrated there is a market for it with the Optimus.

Has the Optimus continued to sell well?  I know they were popular pre 41F, but what about today?

It always looked like a huge trade off to me and once I added up all the extras to make it work with everything it made more sense to go with multiple suppressors.

Your right, I have one and just leave it on my M11 as a sub gun can. I have a friend that is wanting to get his first can and asked about the Optimus and told him for the price he would be better off buying a Turbo, some quality $200ish rimfire can and a blow out Kraken (which I think they are gone now).

That same logic goes for the Mystic X and any other Multi gun cans.

Hello All,

Here's a super quick lowdown.  I'm not going to be online much today so here's more info:

Optimized more for 300BLK and supers.  It'll be light duty, as in no full auto.  It's also optimized for 9X39.  This is now our quietest 300BLK suppressor, with averages dropping down into the low 120's.

The short configuration has been optimized for performance in 9mm.  It went from 4.1" to 5.1", but that buys you a 10dB improvement in performance on an MP5 with 3-lug.   The 3-lug is the worst case mount, with how how it moves the muzzle inside the blast chamber.  Those with fairly flush mount 3-lugs see a huge drop in performance.  We're about .3" longer than those, but it won't hurt performance.  The old design was supposed to be as short as it could go while still being hearing safe.  This time we decided to make it sound awesome.

Long configuration in 9mm will still sit in the low 120's like before also.

The wipe cap is a fun addition for the short config.  It doesn't really do much in the long config since it's already so optimized.  You can put whatever wipe you want in there as long as it's 1" diameter down to about 5/8" diameter.  There's a threaded in wipe retainer that holds it down and it has little ridges that hold odd shaped wipes well.  As in, it can be square if you never learned how to cut perfect circles with scissors.  That's a tad smaller diameter than our old Ghost one, but you can trim it down in seconds and it'll fit.  This won't be an accessory, because ATF and competitors sending letters to them.  BUT.  We should have some type of upgrade program in the future.  Also note that his is our current rifle socket pattern (1.125-28 with taper lock).  Just throwing that out there.

Thanks for the info! By upgrade program do you mean there's the potential to have a wolf 9sd upgraded to the wolfman? Because that would be awesome. I assume if this could be done there would understandably be a cost.

The front half looks like it is positioned well to compete with an Omega 9k, but with modular length and wipe capability.

@mageever

Next thing you know maybe we will see a 1.5" OD Wolf/Odessa hybrid and you will be able to erector set a rifle can with a 9mm bore and mounts and front caps a la cart.  One can only hope...as  thread together baffles also would have use for short, fat, co-axial designs. That could probably be done with Odessa parts as they already exist.

I believe "current rifle socket pattern" pertained to the end cap.  The Wolf and Wolfman should have the same exact mount features.  I'm guessing the only difference on the main modules is 2 extra baffles and cleaner laser welds.

I don’t think this Wolfman is in the same class as the Optimus.  When used for 5.56 or 7.62 rifles, the Optimus has a .30 cal rifle blast baffle that gets installed prior to the main 9mm baffle stack.  My feeling is that the Optimus is rated for heavier duty rifle use than the Wolfman, which seems more like a Wolf SD9 with a wipe.

I would think being full 17-4 that full auto 9mm would be OK. "Light duty" referring to non full auto for centerfire rifle stuff.

He said rifle socket pattern to fit taper lock. Unless I'm confused then I'm not sure why you'd need a taper lock in the end cap. I'm assuming he means rifle caliber muzzle taper devices when he references rifle socket pattern.
