    Default New pistol can

    So I am looking to get into the game and was looking at pistol suppressors. Does it make sense to buy a .45 can and also run it on a 9MM so then I don't have to buy two cans for both pistols?
    I see a number of them have interchangeable pistons for situations like this.

    Absolutely. Most will be just a change of pistons. 9mm thru a 45 can might not be quite as effective as thru a 9mm can, but it will still be good.

    I figure I will not get quite the noise suppression but these puppies aren't cheap.
    Thanks for the info.

    The right ammo makes a world of difference. Stop shooting 115 and go 147, even back off the 124's. Better yet reload.

    If they had a system like that when I bought my 9mm suppressor, that is what I would have done. Not a big enough deal for me to get a .45 can, nor get my 9mm can rebuilt for both.

    To be honest, if I was starting "new" with cans today, I would not buy a .22 or pistol can, I would make my own and go the Form 1 route. For rifle, I might still buy one.
    Good Shooting, MarkCO

    Best idea yet. A pistol can done at home runs under $20. the boosters are where the $$ comes in

    I have a .45 pistol can that I use for 9mm and I'm happy with the way it works. 9mm is louder than the .45 but I attribute that to the speed of the round.

    OK you guys have convinced me that I am on the right path. Any recommended threaded barrel brand?
