DeGroat MK99 MOD 0 Suppressor, opinions?
I'm liking the look of James machining and the way he's conducted himself in our PMs about the NANO, but think is larger can will serve my needs better. I've been previously considering a Trident, but prefer the svelt profile of the MK99 Mod 0. Anybody have experience with this can in comparison to the Trident, EVO9, etc. What do ya all think of DeGroat products in general. Thankyou for your opinions in advace. I noticed Titsworth doesn't have it listed on his site.

Yea, I saw that, does give me pause. His points are valid, but could of been handled better. However, that valve between my brain and mouth tends to get stuck sometimes myself.

Obviously you haven't read some of the other threads on this board by AAC and other can mfg. That's some mild stuff.robpiat wrote:His conduct in this thread discourages me from doing business with him.

He is Honest, and I've purchased many of his suppressors. We've done large trades and he's always been top notch. I trust him.
Don't be discouraged from buying anything simply because he posted his personal opinions. This is the internet, people post their opinions and it's upto you on what you take personally.
Going simply by his products, They are very well machined, very well designed and every customer who has purchased one from me has been very happy. They work, and they work well.
Like I said in my other thread, they are slimmer in diameter than the other 9mm suppressors I own and they allow me to use my standard SIG sights. I like that personally and use it most often on my pistols. (even my glock)
His other products also work very well for me, such as his flash enhancer, it works like a charm and gives everyone a good time.
Like I said, he's done good on his work, so give him a try if you're looking for a product that will last you a lifetime on multiple pistols.

I have the MK9 MOD0 for my beretta M9, its been pending since sept. As soon as I shoot it, I'll update this thread for ya and let you know how it sounded.
As far as James goes, he was very eager to help me and answer my emails. The purchase process went smooth as did the the transfer to my dealer. And while I havent asked him, Im sure if something catastrophic happened to my can and it wasnt my fault, he would take care of it. It just seems like he'll stand behind his product.

I have a DTA 99m0 and it's great. I like to so much that I have a second one pending now. The Nano appears to be the bees-knees and I'll likely end up with one of those too. I'd have bought a Nano already but the Gemtech Black-Friday Halo deal was too good to pass up.
I've never had a problem reaching James by email and he had been very patient with a previous transfer issue.
I'll likely take flames for supporting/purchasing from Gemtech but for my needs the Gemtech products work well. I'm not markin' out to James or DTA either, I'm just another satisfied customer.
** EDITED to add I just sent James a PM for a NANO. Yee-Ha **

Could you elaborate..Im going crazy waiting on it. Shot wet with 147grn, does it compare with a suppressed P22?
Have any youtube video of it? The only MK9 MOD0 video ive seen is from his site.

I haven't done a video (I'm just not that cool I guess), when you shoot regular 147 subsonic it's quiet, when you shot subsonic with water in the can it sounds "Hollywood" quiet, I can sit next to someone and be shooting and holding a conversation and they don't even blink when it goes off quiet. It sounds as good as Tac-65 on Ruger pistol. And when I talked to James about the Nano in 9mm, his comment was it was as quiet as mine when wet got me to buy that on the spot.Fireman1291 wrote:Artful wrote:I've got his mark 9 mod 0 and am very happy with it.

Can't do today, cooking for the family, just chatting waiting for the gizzards and neck to be done ready to make gravy. I actually have video on a camera but can't seem to get it from there into my computer - I may have to buy one of the USP type video camera's - I miss my old Windows 98 machine that I was good with - Vista just doesn't like me.Fireman1291 wrote:Nice! and yes your cool enough, now go outside and make a video. lolArtful wrote:I haven't done a video (I'm just not that cool I guess), when you shoot regular 147 subsonic it's quiet, when you shot subsonic with water in the can it sounds "Hollywood" quiet, I can sit next to someone and be shooting and holding a conversation and they don't even blink when it goes off quiet.

Get the new "Flip" HD digital camera. It records in 720p HD, onto a built in flash memory. It has a flip out USB that you plug right into the computer to upload your video. O and its the size of a flip phone. My wife bought me one for christmas.

My dad just gave me enough money for Christmas, that I could put a deposit on the NANO.......what to do? Do I get a NANO now save $125- before the 1st of the yr.? s--t, life is full of important choices....... MK99 for the P226, NANO for the P228. Crap wish I was wealthier. The machining on the NANO is so cool, but I really don't want to change wipes every mag either.

Wipe changing will depend upon material and ammo - and you can use the nano on 226 and 228 from my thinking - I mean that's the point of a light weight can. I like the intro price as well.Smilodon wrote:My dad just gave me enough money for Christmas, that I could put a deposit on the NANO.......what to do?

Ill use it next time I go shooting. Which will be when my MK9 goes approved, so it depends on how fast Ashton gets it to me.
This was all taken with my wifes sony cybershot 10.1mp in video mode. So the HD should look damn good.

The prototype I shot didn't need to have the wipe replaced that often. I'd guess a wet Nano with a new wipe would be good for ~50 rounds before needing more "wet'ness" and a fresh wipe. I didn't track how many rounds we shot but, a full mag didn't really raise the noise level enough for me to notice. A wet recharge at every hi-cap mag change is probably a good idea.

Just PM'd James to put a deposit on a NANO, figure I'll probably regret not getting in on the intro price. If nothign else it'll make a great .22lr. can. I'll get a MK99 later probably, or have him make a nice wiped can for my Yugo M92....

Don't forget the tax stamp, no I don't have a .22lr. can yet, but was going to do an integral on my HiStandard. Sid, how would your rate the noise level compared to a full size can?
