Guardian 9 is here

[SemperFiUSMC]

Is it going to be able to handle 5.7x28 also, like the Kestrel? Or is that too high pressure?

I had been knocking around the idea of getting a .22 can and the fact the Kestrel could do 5.7 as well was pretty appealing (I don't have a 5.7 gun, but I've been thinking about buying a PS90 and making it into an SBR).

We haven't tested the Guardian 9 with 5.7 yet. My guess is that we won't rate it for 5.7, but we will have an announcement on a 5.7 full auto can in the near term.

Just got the first final production Guardian 9 assembled. It weighs 7.5 ounces (10.25 ounces with the booster).

Thanks. Have you found any issues with .22 through it? Does it get gunked up, causing problems? Are the baffles stainless steel (or steel at all)? How about the end caps? I assume the body will be aluminum.

I'm pretty new to the suppressor world and the idea of getting one suppressor that works for a lot of my weapons is really appealing (especially with the $200 tax stamp and ridiculous waiting times). I have a SIG Mosquito that I just got a GemTech threaded barrel for and I am planning on getting my 10/22 threaded. I also have a Glock 17 and a Beretta 92 that I wouldn't mind being able to suppress. So, the more guns I can use a can on, the more appealing it is to me.

Edit: I just wanted to add that I got a chance to shoot my buddy's P22 with his Guardian 22 on it. I had a blast. I'm definitely hooked.

It works fine with .22. It's silly quiet on a both pistol and rifles.

The rear blast chamber, booster, and fixed mounts are stainless, as is the blast baffle. The others are aluminum, as is the tube and front end cap (we make the front aluminum so that in case of a baffle strike the end cap gives way protecting the tube.

5.56?!

 

[SemperFiUSMC]

5.56?!

No. Aluminum tube.

 

[jeremy]

No. Aluminum tube.

Sigh....

I know I'm getting deep in the weeds here, but will it handle .30 Carbine, do you think? 9mm seems to run at about 35,000 PSI, while .30 Carbine runs at 40,000.

We aren't ready to say anything at this point, but we're not done yet.

Let me know when you get one that is 5.56 FA rated...

A 9mm suppressor with an aluminum body? That's never gonna be full auto rated for 9mm, let alone 5.56.

The Kestrel 556 is full auto rated isn't it? And if not that, I'm sure the 762 will hold up to full auto 556 when it comes out.

All 4 of the centerfire rifle cans are full auto rated.

Hmmmm....

I really need to look at your website more often...

 

[hotrodtba]

Having fired the Kestrel 5.56 on an M16 multiple times and many mags, I can say they are not only full auto rated, but also preform very well.
