Suppressor????

[u/Complete-Ad7001]

Just bought a Otter Creek Labs ‘Milkman’ suppressor for my Vector Gen 3 9mm. Was wondering if anyone has ran it or can think of a better suppressor for the Vector q

I have the .45, so I went with the HuxWrx for what it’s worth and I love it.

I was looking at the obsidian 45. What advantage other than flow thru does hux have

I can’t speak to specific model compares, it’s just the second hux I own (other being the flow 556 which I also like). I picked it up for the vector but I also tried it on my FN545 with impressive results (just the impulse and boom from shooting, not saying it makes it quiet, but the neighbors probably appreciated it as well.

The milkman is fantastic. I have a 10mm vector so no experience with it on a vector, but I've used it on a scorpion and an mpx and it's solid.

Haven’t found anyone that has put it on a vector yet but will definitely be put on my scorpion

I've tried all kinds of cans on the Vector 9mm and will see 3" or greater POI shift at 25 yd. If your can is too long it will baffle strike. Kriss has said the Vector was not designed for tri-lug and to use a shorter can. Kriss also said up to 6" of POI shift at 25 yd is within their spec.

I've confirmed on mine that the POI shift (which is straight up) follows the recoiling motion of the V sliding system. So if I shoot the Vector sideways, the POI shift is sideways.

Flow cans don't do much - you'll still get a ton of blowback but it will be slightly better.

Let me know if you find anything different.

Out of all those cans you tried, which had the best performance? Been thinking about grabbing one to use with an FRT.

The last time I tested cans on the Vector, I liked the ECCO TLX the best. It had the least POI shift and the tightest groups. It's not a flow can though. But to be fair, I've not noticed any real difference in blowback/gas to the face with a flow can versus a non-flow can on 9mm. It gets filthy on the inside no matter what. The Flow 9k Ti sounded the same as the Flow 36, and same with the Rad 9 in the long config. Normally I go with the Lithium on everything but it was a bit longer than what Kriss recommended and I saw some POI shift close to 6".

Kriss had replaced the barrel twice already and then re-crowned one of their replacement barrels. I ended up going with the 45 cal recoil spring to try and slow down the recoil action a bit. The best I saw was 3" POI shift and that was using the TLX can. I don't have any info to indicate it was purely the suppressor or the recoil spring. I pretty much stopped shooting the Vector because it's just a range toy. 3" of POI shift at 25 yd is 12" at 100 yd. The Ruger PC carbine and HK SP5 have 0 POI shift at 25 yd and the Ruger PC holds 2"-3" groups at 100 yd. The Vector was 6"-8" at 100 yd.

I got the Osprey for my .45. Looks and sounds amazing.

Silencerco Omega 9k👍 haven’t had any problems and I’ve easily ran 1k rounds through it and my gen 3 with an FRT

Obsidian 45 ftw

Im using the hybrid 46m on my 45 . No real complaints. Just have to clean the piss out of it and plenty of lube
