In today's market, what would you guys be willing to shell out for a serviceable 7" long .45 pistol can weighing under 10 ounces including the piston? The package will be the suppressor, end cap wrench and one piston in a box.
Meet the Phoenix XLV, a design I've decided to move forward with beyond prototyping. Still in natural finish here, that will be an option, as will cerakoting. Being a stacked baffle can, I'm not sure I wanna offer flame anodizing. Cool as it looks, it distorts the tube a little, which isn't a big deal with the monocores, but would make baffle removal a pain on these.
Gr. 9 titanium housing, 17-4 stainless heat treated piston housing, rear cap & blast baffle, the rest of the baffles and front cap are 7075-T651 aluminum.
It's quiet, has a nice tone, and upsets the balance less than any other .45 can I've used yet. I still don't have a dB meter, but my ears comparing it to production cans tell me it's running about 126-127 dB with 9mm subs and about 130 with .45 ball ammo.
I know it's hard to get excited about cans without hearing them and using them on a weapon, but any feedback is appreciated!
