Can the YHM Wraith clear the sights of GSG1911?

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

Can the YHM Wraith clear the sights of GSG1911?

Post by Codename46 »

My local Class 3 dealer has one YHM Wraith left in stock so I would like a quick answer if possible. I was originally wanting a Mite but they are 6-8 weeks backordered and they have 1 Wraith left instead, which is a little thicker. I was wondering if it'll clear the sights of a GSG 1911. I kinda-sorta did a comparison and I feel like it will. I Google some pictures of the Wraith mounted on a pistol and this image looks like the suppressor will BARELY clear the sights:

For what it's worth, the Mite is one of the worst .22 silencers in existence. The Wraith is probably better anyway, though still not great.

I haven't a clue if it will clear the sights. Can the GSG accept 1911 tall sights?

AFAIK The GSG 1911 takes Novak-cut 1911 sights, so I'm guessing yes?

Isn't the wraith a sealed can? I would really consider something else. Your going to end up waiting a few months anyway for the paper work to clear, so you might as well practice waiting by ordering what you really want.

The 22 wraith will not clear pistol sights. I would consider another 22 can from AAC, SWR, Silencerco and others.

I have both YHM cans and they sit on a shelf. I use my SWR can for all of my 22 shooting.

Buy a 22 can that can be taken apart for cleaning. You won't regret it.

The sights on my Sig Mosquito and my Ruger MKIII cleared my Wraith.

I had my Wraith retrofitted by Liberty.
