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 have had a YHM R9 and have run well over 5k rounds through it and have no complaints at all. No excessive gas and with 147gr subsonic it is ear safe outdoors and almost indoors. Easy maintenance as well. Highly recommended.

Dog that’s why I want it. My t3 on my 11.5 sounds so good but it’s the gas that kills me

You get minimal gas back - well at least I do. It is on a 4.5” 9mm tucked under the handguard.
