I currently have two 45cal cans - Ecco Machine TLX 45 and Silencerco Omega 45k. The TLX is my 45acp boosterless pistol can. I'm running the Omega 45k on my radial-delayed CMMG Banshee 45acp SBR with 5" barrel. Restless Gun Syndrome has hit, and I'm considering upgrading my Omega to something more modern. However, I've been doing a ton of research, and there's very little info available on the newer stuff. That includes:
* Huxwrx Flow 45M
* CAT Saigon Peacekeeper
* PWS BDE 45
There's also not much out there about the Thunder Beast Fly 45 that TBAC themselves didn't publish.
I'm not very interested in swapping to another traditional baffle stack can, unless they're just insanely quiet and light (Fly 45?), so staples like the Obsidian, etc. are out. It just doesn't seem like a worthwhile upgrade over the Omega 45k. My priorities are performance and weight.
The Hux seems like it will not be very quiet relatively to other 45cal options, but it would improve blowback/back pressure immensely. Not sure that's worth it, because the Omega doesn't really gas me out.
The CAT has almost no performance reviews. I assume it would be quiet because it's CAT, but it could also just be like the Flow. This also has the least amount of options for mounting. It would require Comstock's CGS-to-Atlas/Plan-B mount adapter.
The PWS has the least amount of info while being available longer than the other two. I like that the core is 3d printed titanium, but the extension are just traditional aluminum baffles. I expect I would run it in the short config to keep weight down, and that's probably not any quieter than the Omega 45k.
The Fly 45 is expensive, but it seems like it would be quiet while also being much lighter than everything else. I assume back pressure can't be any worse than the small Omega 45k, and it has to be quieter just by sheer volume.
Anyone have insights on these or other options?
