So many options at this point. This is the hassle of the NFA. I end up having to ask the audience and phone a friend before I can make a decision. If they made suppressors Title I firearms, or better yet not firearms at all and completely unregulated, I would just buy one of each of my top 3 choices and sell the ones I didn’t like. Can’t do that with the laws as they currently sit since each can takes an additional $200 and 8 months of waiting.

At least that’s negated by the nature of the gun. Whatever I get needs to be tri-lug compatible since the gun has a fixed tri-lug. If B&T could just hurry up and widely release the RBS-9 SQD, I’d appreciate it. Otherwise, I might end up with one of the other suppressors already discussed. At this rate already, whatever I buy won’t be in my hands until late 2023. I don’t want to wait too much longer before I make a purchase. It would be one thing if my dealers of choice had a range on premises and I could at least set up some conjugal visits, but they don’t. I won’t be able to shoot what I buy until the Form 4 clears.

If you think the GSL Phoenix is too big, you can always go with a shorter version, the CT9KS.
I was previously rolling with an AAC Tirant9, but the POI shift annoyed me. That being, with the can on, it would shift the POI a few inches in one of three directions, based on how the can was oriented on the tri-lug mount. The CT9KS is shorter, and though it takes a little longer to get mounted than a spring-loaded tri-lug mount, it's solid and I haven't experienced any POI shift from it.
Some guy named Amphibian on arfcom has done a bunch of writeups on the CT9KS; if you google the model name, they should come up.
I am very happy with my Omega 9k on my APC9pro. It’s not the latest or greatest but it flat works and is quite a nice size and I find the sound signature to be very appropriate leave in that that with subsonic I’m not worried about firing without ear pro. I don’t shoot it without ear pro on the range, but it takes the concussion and sounds just enough. Might be worth comparing it to the new B&T suppresor. I don’t know if it’s worth doing a two piece can like the wolf man on a gun if that size and use case for me. I will say I got the Griffen tri lug and I wish lock up was just a little tighter.

So far my three front runners are the B&T RBS-9 SQD, the Dead Air Wolfman, and the HUXWRX CA$H 9k. It would be nice if the B&T was actually available. I’ll give it until January and if the B&T isn’t readily available by then, I’ll probably go with one of the others.

Man, that APC9 looks great with the CT9KS! Would love to see more pics of that whole setup.
I found this thread since I've been looking at suppressing my APC9, and at this point it's a toss up between the CT9KS and the B&T SQD9, if they ever get them on the market. I have a feeling that the CT9KS will be quieter, but there's also something to be said for having a full B&T setup. How is the Curtis can in terms of first round pop, back pressure, and overall sound level?
Cheers
For what it's worth, I shoot lefty with an APC9 Pro and the Wolfman in the long configuration gasses me out after three or four shots. I started running it in short configuration and it seems ok, so the Wolfman is pretty versatile in that regard. I run it with the tri-lug adapter from DeadAir and see approximately 1-1.5 inch POI shift at 25 yards.
I haven't noticed any first round pop, but then again I admittedly haven't been listening very hard for it. Sound level seems fine to my ear. I got it primarily for ease of maintenance, and because it's shorter than the Tirant-9 it replaced. The Tirant also had an issue where the zero would shift when attached, in one of three directions. I presume that had to do with the positioning on the three lug mount. The CT9KS is a little slower to put on, but I haven't noticed any zero shift.
