which can for a 3 lug 9mm SBR

[paperhunter]

I was running an old AAC EVO 9 on a couple different 9mm SBR's with 3-lug adapters, but that can is now ruined. What are my choices for new cans?
All I want is easy cleaning (user serviceable that I can clean baffles by dipping them)

I THINK these may work.
-YHM-9920 9mm Wraith XL 3 Lug?
-Silencerco OCTANE 9?

Several reputable sources say the Omega 9k is amazing on a 9mm sbr.

I have shot the Obsidian 45 on a 9mm pistol and it was extremely pleasant to shoot. I bought one and plan on running it on 300 BLK and a 9mm sbr

I'm now thinking a Silencerco Omega 9k or a YHM 3 lug 9mm Wraith. Both sealed cans.

The Gemtech MK-9K is still a wonderful can. from the top, YHM , Gemtech MK 9K , Silencerco Octane 45 all 3 lug. Of these three and several others, I use the MK-9K most often, that may change when the Omega 9K arrives, time will tell.

Why is the MK-9K the favorite? I'm having trouble locating a YHM Wraith XL 3-Lug.

Gemtech Raptor II? Not as quiet as the Wraith?

I have a Liberty Mystic. I use it on my 9mm SBR / autos.

We are working on the 3 lug adapter now, its pretty much done just have to do some testing with it. This will attach to the rear of our 9mm multi use can viewtopic.php?f=2&t=136568 . This is the perfect 9mm can for hard sbr use, we offer it with a SS tube also, for hard full auto use. The suppressor is sold with an aluminum tube standard just to cut weight because with the encapsulated ss baffles the tube doesn't see any abuse, if you run the can hard enough on full auto for a long period it would be possible to melt the aluminum tube, this is where you would want the SS tube.

What are your thoughts on the Hybrid? I know it's over bore size but large volume, tough and 3-lug?

[STL/N.E.R.D.S.]

The tone is very pleasant on the MK-9K,

All good suggestions! Thank you for responding. I'm torn between a solid, old school style like the MK-9k (that's the one Gemtech recommended when I called), and something more versatile like the hybrid, Mystic, Curtis Tactical ST9CFP, or Octane. Also, I'm having trouble finding anything actually available.

I don't NEED to run it on a pistol, I'm really considering it as a quick switch dedicated 9mm carbine can that I can run hard and not worry about.

Right now, for a subgun or pistol caliber SBR the Omega 9K is a fantastic option.

I'm back and forth on if the Ghost is going to live on the MPX, or if the Omega 9K is going to stay there. The other is going to live on a Mac... both are great on sub guns.

If you don't need the 3 lug adapter we can put whatever thread you want in the rear cap to direct thread, it will keep the length of the suppressor at 7" over all. Not sure what state you are in but we have them ready to go form 3 or form 4.

I saw a video on YouTube of someone using an Omega 9k with GA 3-lug for a tiny package. Have you tried the GA 3lug on the Omega 9k and if so did you like it?

Joe,
Tempting, but I don't think I want to go the direct thread route at this time.

Update. After much hand wringing, I ordered a YHM 3 lug 9mm Wraith XL (YHM-9920).

http://yhm.net/9mm-wraith-xl-q-d-sound- ... -1358.html

I'm concerned:
-past reviews of old Wraith's say they aren't that quiet
-I'll be stuck with a 3-lug only can. The 3-lug part is built in- from Sales at YHM, "The 3-lug Wraith is only and ever a 3-lug Wraith".
-it's definitely not a commonly purchased item, not much available for current reviews

BUT:
At 11 sealed ounces with no additional adaptors and a claimed 124 DB, it could be awesome. I'll find out!

Thank you all for your input. If the Wraith wasn't available, I would have tried to get a:
1-Silencerco Hybrid, cons- heavy and "overkill" for a 9mm carbine
2-Silencerco Omega 9K, cons- not that quiet
3-Liberty Mystic-X, cons- I don't want to feel like I have to clean it
4-Gemtech MK-9K, cons- heavy and I don't want to feel like I have to clean it

I realize that my original post called for "easy cleaning", but I changed my mind. Maybe I need more than 1 new can.......Hmmmmmm

Update:
It’s been years since I posed the original question, BUT the 3 lug wraiths kick butt on 9mm carbines with 3 lug. New question, looking for a sealed 9mm can for a pistol. Thinking of a SilencerCo Omega 9 k. Are there any other sealed 9mm cans I should consider? I’m not good about cleaning, and I like that the Omega is sealed.

[quiettime]

Why are you so set on a sealed can?

[paperhunter]

It’s a personal thing. I’m not good at consistent cleaning, and I have enough specialty wrenches to keep track of already, so I prefer that I CAN’T take it apart. I know it’s odd, but it makes me happy. Good question.

[quiettime]

Well the sealed can gets just as dirty, as you know.

I think if I were in the market for a sealed pistol can I'd get the Dead Air Wolfman.

Omega 9k would be my second choice but I'm not a huge fan of Sico after they bought SWR and then fired everybody. Dead Air is a solid company that is trying to keep bringing innovation to the market.

[paperhunter]

Thank you for the suggestion. I had not previously considered the wolfman.
