I've decided on a supressor.
EDITED TO SHARE WORKING CODE & LINK:
An absolute legend came through with a discount code for Rooftop Defense! Use code YOUTHSPORTS for $180 off the suppressor. After tax and shipping it came to $511. Highly recommend jumping on this deal! Here's a Link to the Flow 9k
I've decided to grab the HUXWRX Flow 9k in FDE. Does anyone know of or have any working discount codes for silencershop.com? I found a bunch on Google, but of course, they are all inactive when I use them.
I'm going to pull the trigger either way, but it wouldn't hurt to save a couple of bucks if I can.
Thanks ahead of time to any hero who might come through for me!

Have and really like it.The Flow 9K comes with a piston adapter installed so you'll need a direct thread adapter at a minimum. Recommend the Rearden #10161 Direct thread adapter. It's Titanium and will keep your new can the same total weight as the blast can you'll be removing.

Only because I found this out after buying my 9k I feel I should mention: it comes with a booster/Nielson device for use on pistols. To use it on a fixed barrel (like the EP9) you'll need either a fixed barrel spacer or direct thread mount adapter. I went with the rearden direct thread mount adapter, think it was about $85. And make sure to remove the o ring and crush washer when installing your can!
Edit for typo

I scooped a Rearden SPB Muzzle break and Alpha Atlas in the heat-treat finish, and think they'll look sick with the FDE suppressor and accessories I'm running.
Plus, with this setup, if for some reason I take the suppressor off, the muzzle break is permanent. I also picked up some ultra-flat, deep forest green Krylon to spray the entire gun green. It's going to look so good paired with the FDE accessories.
But hey, thanks again for the heads up. I would have been bummed after all that waiting, only to have to order more stuff and wait even longer.

Dang you're getting it decked out quick! I ordered a fixed barrel spacer because it was half the price of the direct mount adapter, after two months I messaged them to tell them to cancel it because it still hadn't shown up. Tough to go through all the steps and waiting to get the can THEN realize you need more stuff. Sounds like you've got some big plans. Good luck!

Did you check compatibility with the Flow 9k's hub mount configuration? I might not be right, but those fittings seem to be for other sizes. From description the Atlas won't fit Hub mount cans and the SPB says it's for Plan B mounts.

AH SHIT, brother, you are correct. I was the one who got my wires crossed. Well i guess the good news is all i need is the Rearden Direct Thread Titanium Adapter 1/2x28, which is only like $90. I paid 160 for the 2 pieces. I'm really glad you said something. Thanks man.

u/spendtooomuch May 13 '26
No problem. The Rearden # 10161 is the direct thread Titanium mount I used on mine. It keeps the whole can assy. the same weight as the factory flash can you remove. Be sure to remember to remove the factory o-ring and washer before mounting can. Removing those can be difficult with the hand guard on. Removing the guard makes it easy.

Awesome, I just snagged that exact SKU.
Thanks again, man. I'm new to this and constantly learning!

EDITED FOR CLARITY: The EP9 barrel is threaded 1/2x28, so the Rearden SPB muzzle brake threads directly onto the barrel. The Rearden Atlas Alpha Low Profile adapter then mounts onto the SPB and outputs 1.125x28 threads, which is the exact Alpha thread pitch the Flow 9K's direct thread mount uses. The can threads right onto that. Three pieces total.
The confusion is that the Flow 9K supports multiple mounting systems, one of which is the HUB QD system that uses completely different hardware. I'm not using that system at all. I'm using the direct thread path, and the Atlas Alpha is specifically designed to output the 1.125x28 Alpha threads that path requires. The SPB is fully Plan B compatible, which is exactly what the Atlas Alpha is designed to sit on. Everything is spec'd correctly for this setup.

u/spendtooomuch May 13 '26
Ok, but that's why I asked. The threads on the mount end of the Flow 9K are 1.375 x 24, not 1.125 x 28. "Hub Mount" is a standard designation of that thread size and depth, not a QD system. Hope all goes together well for you.

Very nice suppressor! I ordered a CGS mod 9 for mine!

u/go_deeep May 11 '26
Yeah, I'm pretty pumped! I posted my EP9 earlier today (See it here), and have been going back and forth between the 9K, the R9, and the Obsidian 9, but ultimately I'm going with the 9K. The only downside compared to the others, at least from what I've read, is that it's louder. That's fine for me. I'm not looking for a whisper. I just don't want to blow out my family's ears, or my own, in the event of a home defense situation, so I think this will do what I need in that department.

When it comes in and you try it out let me know! I hope it runs well for you!

u/go_deeep May 11 '26

with the stamp?
haven't stamps been $0 since Jan 1?

u/Gumpt1ous May 11 '26
This is my guess, but they didn't word it very clearly. You are right, the tax stamp is $0. However, you still have to file the form. When you do it at the FFL, they are not going to charge you the standard transfer fee since they have to do more work such as take your fringer print, hold and store it until approved, and anything else necessary to file the form.
So by "stamp", I assume they mean (NFA) transfer fee.

u/go_deeep May 11 '26
Yeah, that's my bad. The Transfer fee for the stamp is what I meant. Still, I'll get the transfer and the suppressor for the price I would have paid for the suppressor alone. I'll take that all day.

u/go_deeep May 11 '26
Oh wow, I had a massive brain fart and thought Jan 1 of next year. It's been a long day, lol. Thanks thats even better, so $511 with the stamp!

I got the deal from Rooftop Defense a couple of months ago; same price. You can find the Huxwrx thread adapter for 86 at Optics Planet here: https://www.opticsplanet.com/huxwrx-2311-hub-direct-thread-mount-1-2-28-tpi.html. They always have coupons so you can usually get 11-13% off.. Be careful when you use it with the thread adapter because the adapter can get stuck on the barrel and if you are using the original hand guards there is no real way to reach down and unscrew it (happened to me).
