Anyone got one of these? Would you recommend it?
It seems a bit low priced as compare to others handgun cal cans. Hosts will be Beretta 92FS, Browning Hi Power and Glock 17. Should I buy once cry once and get an Octane or TiRant? It doesn't have to be the quietest can on the market, but it needs to be reliable and user serviceable. |

No comment on the Thompson Machine but Cherokee Gun has the Octane for like $420 without a piston. ETA: What price are you seeing on the ISIS-2? $343 on silencershop.com. Local shop has them for $400. At $200 under most of the competition, I gotta admit it looks really attractive. If you want the can in 40sw or 45acp it looks like it adds $148 to the cost. If you want the booster its an additional $157. I can see how it adds up. I think I'm just OK with it being a simple 9mm suppressor, though. In the future I might want a .45acp full-auto rated one for a Kriss Vector (that I don't own at the moment), but this is good enough for now. |

I have an Isis 2, 9mm suppressor. It's been out of Form 4 jail for about 2 weeks now and I've put about 200 rounds through it. The Isis 2 will live on my .357 Mag Handi Rifle and will mostly get a steady diet of 158 grain .38 Special handloads. Eventually, I will step up to 200+ grain stuff, but for right now, 158's do pretty darned good.
With .38 Special's shooting 158 grain plated bullets, the Isis is an absolute hoot at the range. It's click... thud kind of quiet. With .357 Magnum's, it certainly helps knock the noise down, but you still have the supersonic crack to deal with. Given the power of a full house .357 Mag round leaving the barrel at 1800 fps, and sounding like an unsuppressed .22 is pretty cool. This is my first mono core can, and also my first all aluminum can. It's bigger than my Gemtech Trek, but much lighter due to the use of Aluminum. It's much lighter than you would expect. The downside is it's Aluminum construction limits how you clean it. Right now, I'm only shooting jacketed or plated bullets to limit the amount of lead exposure to the can. Since I'm handloading the ammo, I can be certain that my bullets have no exposed lead at the heel to vaporize and crud up my core and tube. I had absolutely zero POI shift after adding the can to my Handi Rifle. The Isis 2 comes apart quite easily, and so far has been pretty easy to clean. I did the Silicone Oil soak trick when I first got it, and all it took to clean things up was a nylon brush and a rag. I like the threadless tube idea, and like how you can adjust the logo/ serial number to any orientation you choose. The machine work is clean, and everything fits together perfectly. I have yet to compare it with other 9mm industry standard suppressors such as the Octane 9 HD, Osprey 9, or TiRant 9, but have run my Isis 2 next to an older Gemtech Trinity. The Isis 2 was quieter, and had a deeper tone. So far, I'm very happy with my Isis 2. I'm running a 5/8"x24 fixed barrel adapter. I'll have to check my receipt, but pretty sure it was under $500 total including the suppressor module, fixed barrel adapter, $50 dealer's transfer fee and state sales tax. |
| I have a Thompson Machine SG-2, which is a high-volume sub-gun can. Machine work is beautiful. It switch-hits for allot of hosts, including two B&T TP9s, an IMI Uzi (when I get my stamp back), a CZ Scorpion and a Masterpiece Arms 930DMG. I am buying a second one to make an "integrally" suppressed 9mm rifle. Brooks has been VERY helpful and responds to emails right away. For the record, I own 5 other suppressors and would not hesitate to buy a Thompson Machine product; they're simply great values. |
| Don't underestimate Thompson Machine because of price point they may a very good product. I fired the isis2 at a local range. Just so happened to be the only SOT in my area was there shooting. I was shooi with my suppressors and we got to talking and I got to try out that can. I was impressed. |

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Definitely makes me feel more comfortable going into it. I think I'm just gonna stick with the 9mm model and fixed barrel adapter. I got to hang out with Brooks and Rich for a few hours at a shoot a few weeks ago. I was very impressed with the ISIS-2 on the Glock 17 and my 7.5" 9mm SBR |
| I have had a ISIS 2 for a year at least and love it. I have it as a permanent host on my 9mm AR pistol with a 5in barrel. It always impresses people and I love giving it to new shooters to get comfortable behind. I couldnt recommend them enough the can is a bit longer than some of its competitors but for the price point you really cant complain. If you decide to go with one you wont be dissapointed. |
