short vid

The sound of a .45 cal fmj slug smacking an empty freeon can is actually louder than the report of the weapon

Pros: light, quiet, can be indexed for poi, looks cool (which is all that really matters)

Cons: none really its kinda long but other than that its hard to say, I dont have any experience with any other cans like this, so
take all this with a grain of salt.

Very nice setup!  Do you think the raised sites make a very big difference?

I'm not sure yet.  When I hold it up flat where it would go on my 1911 and look down the sights, you can only see about a
16th of an inch of the can above the sights.  Before I dish out any money for sights I'm gonna get the threaded barrel first and
see if its even worth it messing with having them installed and all that.

When I rest my USP upside down on something flat it seems the sights could be about an 1/8" lower and still
do the job.  

Im leaning towards them not being necessary unless your shooting at something small like a pop can or something.

I have a NHC with the Heinie raided sights.  I also have a Beretta with out raised sights.  The can is a Ti-rant.  With out the raised sights you are staring at the 3 dots of your sights and a large black oval shadow, (the can).  In order to shoot you basically look over the suppressor, and at close ranges this can work.  Precision is out, only general area shots.  With the raised sights, it is the same as with out a suppressor sight picture, although the suppressor is still some what noticeable. Even the raised sights are only about an 1/8 above the suppressor sight plane.

The big problem is that the raised sights command a premium price, so it may not be worth the extra expenditure, unless your requirements dictate precise area engagements.

I haven't decided on a 9mm host yet and the adapters have been out of stock for quite awhile anyways

I would never get anything higher than a 9mm. You think I should get a 45 can anyways? Or stick with the 9mm cans?

Its just nice knowing you can put it on anything .45 acp and below.  Who knows what deal you may come across or how your philosophy may change.

To me its seems to add quite a bit of value after all the waiting and the money spent.

I'm not going to be in a position to get a pistol can for a while, but this was my exact thought process earlier this year when I bought a 762-SDN-6.  I only had 5.56 and went in to buy an M4-2K.  After seeing it next to an SDN-6, I bought the SDN-6 for ability to expand.  It also catalyzed me to get into 300 BLK.

I always buy the can before I have a host for 'em...the process takes so long that before the can comes in, i have their hosts.


I would recommend shooting sub-caliber.  In reality, a quality can like the AAC TiRant 45 will shoot 9mm as well as many dedicated 9mm cans.  That having been said, I still plan on getting a 9mm can.

Yeah I guess having a larger can is nice just incase a friend has the caliber... I know I will never go up caliber because I am cheap as can be. I'd rather beable to enjoy more than spending more to enjoy the same amount... If that makes sense.
