The original Ti-RANT 9 was groundbreaking when it was first introduced and many say to this day that it still is the benchmark of sound reduction and simplicity in 9mm silencers. The goal obviously was to improve on that platform and combine the 2 silencers into one silencer.
The couple things that will stand out on the new 9M is that it's a tool less take down design and very user serviceable. Also not complacent with standard performance we wanted to make it better at the same time a little quieter. We achieved this with a patent pending design.
On a service-sized Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm, with a Storm Lake threaded barrel, shooting Remington L9MM9 147 grain subsonic ammo, the 9M will consistently deliver -32dB dry reduction (124 dB) in full-size configuration and -21 dB dry reduction (134 dB) in the short configuration. With 5cc’s of water added, the 9M will deliver ~38+dB reduction (~118dB) for 15-25 shots in full-size configuration, and -32dB reduction (124 dB) in short configuration. *NOTE to the dB chasers* These readings are not "fluffed up" and recorded exactly as logged. As you know location, elevation, ammo humidity will have a effect on sound, your ear will tell you which one is quieter. For those who own or shot a original Ti-RANT 9 you will notice some improvement on sound reduction.
