.45 Can For Both 45 &9mm?
Anybody using a .45 can for both calibers? I just received my stamp for my .22 can, and I'm already looking to the next one. I just wonder how effective the .45 would be, used for 9mm also.

A .45 can shooting 9mm is louder than a dedicated 9mm can, but the difference is barely noticeable. The only real issue is that the can will be a little bit bigger.
If you have any desire to suppress any calibers bigger than 9mm, get a .45 can instead of a 9mm for your first pistol can; it's more versatile.

Yeah, I just picked up my 1st can- a Gemtech .22 yesterday at my dealer. Took just a little over 4 months filed on trust. I'm looking to expand so I can shoot 9mm & 45 suppressed.
I'm considering an Osprey. |

The Osprey is awesome. Though if you plan to constantly switch it between 9mm and .45, keep in mind that the piston isn't as quick and easy to change due to the offset design, and it requires a specific tool.

The AAC Ti-Rant is on my short list as my next suppressor. I plan on getting one in .45 because they sell thread adapters and piton kits to use in 9mm and .40S&W as well. There's also an aftermarket thread adapter for 5/8" thread to use on subsonic loads in the .300blackout.

Also, keep in mind that AAC doesn't officially rate the Ti-Rant for use on 300 Blackout, so if something goes wrong they probably won't cover the damage. Whereas companies like SilencerCo do rate their cans for 300 Blackout subs, so you're not voiding the warranty that way. Also, when it comes to interchangeably, there's one really annoying thing about the Ti-Rant: The pistons for the .45 and 9mm are different, whereas there's no difference between the mounts for the Octane or Osprey in 9mm or .45. This makes availability of mounts more difficult and complicated with the T-Rant. Basically what I'm trying to say is that the Ti-Rant has fewer mounting options and more proprietary mounts than pistol cans from other companies. But otherwise it's a good can.

I have an Innovate Arms Shepherd 45 shop demo. We use it on 9mm hosts almost exclusively. Sounds great and they have plenty of piston options.
It blows away most other cans out there including 9mm specific cans. Today I shot it full-auto on a 9mm Ar-15 host and it was super quiet. I made few videos today with it. I will try to get them edited and posted this weekend. In one I compare the Gemtech GM-45 to the Innovative Shepherd. http://innovativearms.com/silencers/shepherd/

I have an Octane 45. Its a great do it all can.
Ive shot it with 9, 40 and 45 for pistol calibers. Its best with 9mm Subsonics, 40 is horrible (too much backblast and noisy), 45 is ok. I hear that you can now buy a 9mm endcap for the Octane 45. That would make it even better with 9mm. I would definitely buy a 45 can as a first can. The ability to use it on smaller calibers is a HUGE plus. With a $200 tax on each and months of wait, get the most versatile can |

I ended up getting the octane 45 after all. Filed with a trust back on march 3rd so stamp should be in within a few weeks
