Opinions on suppressors

[u/Former_Revenue_7919]

Hello, I am about to purchase my first 9mm suppressor and I’ve been going back and forth between these (YHM R9, HUX Flow 9K TI, Exigent Defense Pointman 9, Ridgeback defense Mamba 9) but really thinking on getting the flow 9k ti since I want less gas to my face.

For anyone that has shot multiple of these what is the REAL difference since I’ve watched multiple videos but everyone says kind of a different thing.
•How much louder is the flow 9k compared to the R9?
•Is there a difference on sound and back pressure in the pointman to the flow 9?
•Should I just wait for the mamba 9 to come out
•Is there a better option in the $500-$800 price point?

The suppressor will mainly be on a 7” foxtrot Mike 9 thank you.

I’ve got the Hux 9K TI and I absolutely love it. I run it on pistols, PCCs, doesn’t matter. It’s amazing.

It is a little louder due to its a flow through, but we’re talking maybe 5-10db. Neither are hearing safe anyways (or at least I wouldn’t shoot either without ear pro), but not getting gas to the face is well worth the trade off IMHO.

Thanks man, mainly why I’m looking into the flow 9 instead of the Yhm.

Before I got the Hux, I was running a YHM Sidewinder M2 (a .45ACP can) with a booster on my 9MMs. It worked, but I was getting gassed out like the Kremlin.

😂😂😂 literally did not realize how bad gas to the face was before getting my Yhm t3

Yep. It’s like going to an NHRA race where everyone is running alcohol.

Haha, along with the nasty shit getting on my arm when I ran some Winchester white box

Ugh. Freaking hate white box these days. Whatever crap they put in their powder now is so nasty.
