Integrally Suppressed 9mm Handgun

[JMUshotgunner]

Silencerco just debuted an integrally suppressed handgun. Its obviously an awesome idea. Looks a little odd but pretty cool at the same time. What purposes do you think it could serve? Obviously it's a bit too big for concealed carry. So, Tac rig? Night stand? Car gun?

Would be interested to see if it has been converted to direct blowback

I like the concept. Although it looks like they just wrapped a big kydex 'baffle' around the end of the pistol. I'm sure there's more to it than that.

I'm also not sure about the claim "hearing safe with all factory ammo"... after getting my first 9mm can, all I had was 115 grain super sonic ammo. So I took it to the range with that ammo. Damn that first round made me think twice about shooting it anymore! The supersonic crack was about as loud as a non-suppressed .22LR rifle.

Looks like the gun the Sandmen used in Logan's Run.

"First round pop" is an issue with pretty much all silencers from what I understand. Were you at an indoor range? That would make a big difference since the waves of the supersonic crack just bounce around rather than disperse as they would at an outdoor.

No outdoor gun club. I'm all too familiar with FRP and everybody's theory on why it happens. I shot 8 or 10 rounds out of that first magazine. My initial reaction was "why the hell did I buy this thing?"... After loading some 147 and 124 grain subsonic rounds, it's been a very good can. Shooting the Guardian 9 next to the Tirant, I can't really tell much of a difference.

Now the Tirant is much lighter and has fancier machined details for sure. Performance wise, the cheap one and the expensive one are about the same in my ear's opinion.

Guardian 9 doesn't have much FRP

Its interesting, and im sure people will buy it. I can never be upset that there are more options on the market.

Looks like an M&P fucked a hipoint

The 2nd worst thing about this gun is how much it will cost!

 

[TattooedGunner]

I'm not interested in that at all.

It's a cool idea, but damn that thing is ugly.

 

[mosley1990]

Cool idea and it's definitely interesting (actually like it) looking but, I don't know how practical it is lol
