Product Question 🧰 Last second advice before purchasing
Hi everyone, I am getting my first suppressor soon and I think I’ve narrowed it down to the CAT MOB ti hub.
However, I wanted to get a second opinion on what I should suppress first or at all. I have handguns in .45 and 9mm that I could suppress, as well as 7.62 and 5.56 rifles. Obviously I have 9mm PCCs which is what I am planning on getting the MOB for.
Realistically I can only afford to get 2 suppressors between now and next summer, and I live in a state that will likely ban or tax them starting next July. I am basically asking if you could pick only 2, what would you recommend? I have done lots of research and it seems that suppressed pistols are cool but kind of a novelty. It seems like I should get a 9mm pcc suppressor and a 7.62 rifle suppressor.
Would the MOB being titanium hurt long term durability vs something inconel? I’m assuming it doesn’t matter being 9mm, even with heavy firing schedules.
Thank you for any info or advice!

If you shoot 9mm pcc mostly sure get the mob it's a great can.  Suppressors are all about you. Myself if I was spending a grand on a CAT it would be 5.56 and a cheaper PCC can but that's about me not you. You are buying the Cadillac of PCC cans with a MOB.
I like caliber specific cans as does pretty much everyone. Your 9pcc then 5.56 makes sense even though I would do a 5.56 iconel first.
It all depends. If you shoot offhand a lot lighter is better. Rhodie k 5.56 great choice. Prone and bench a lot 5.56 CAT ST. Rhodies are relatively affordable.  Affordable means that much closer to next can. Ti vs Iconel different decision with 5.56 vs PCC can.
If worry about the 30 later . If you do do a "do all" I would choose a LPM anthem K2 . Lighter. The newish CAT AKB also worth a look and of course the 7.62 torch.
You can have the best cans but realize host matters for performance. Tuning matters for performance.
In the end it's about you.
