Thoughts on the Dead Air Ghost 45M suppressor or others

[Kenk]

I?m looking into starting the paperwork on a suppressor, and was hoping someone owns, or has tried the Dead Air Ghost 45M. This would be primarily used on a 9mm carbine, as well as 9mm and .22LR pistols. The reviews look very promising, and is fully serviceable from what I can tell. I have spoken with a forum member about suppressors in general and have learned a great deal, but thought I?d run it past you guys. I am open to other multi caliber suppressors, my only real requirement is that it is fully serviceable, and that it will function properly down to a .22
Thanks in advance

I was talking to a gentleman at Silencer Central and he recommended the Banish 45. He said  they are easily as nice as the dead air cans, but have a better lifetime warranty, and it?s accessories are much more reasonable

Check out Obsidian 45.

Well of course he would say that.

The only time you would need a warranty on a pistol cal suppressor is if:

1.  You cross thread it onto the barrel and damage it yourself due to incompetence or

2.  The suppressor is misaligned and you have a baffle strike or endcap strike (see #1). 

This is why I suggest purchasing guide rods for every caliber that you shoot through it.  Especially, or at least, when mounted on a new gun the first time because it can save a lot of grief to make sure the barrel is threaded properly to the bore.  If you can do that and ensure that it's straight and no contact with the guide rod (or too near of contact) you'll never need a warranty.  Or, unless you have a squib round or something grossly underpowered causing tumbling almost immediately out of the barrel.

You can buy guide rods from many gun stores but they are expensive.  However, you can also buy precision ground guide rods from mcmaster carr that are 3 feet long and long enough to make two out of for under $10 each the last time I bought some were under $7 but with everything else, I'm sure it's more now. I haven't bought any in a while  But that's still better than $50+ at most places that sell them online.

Unless you just abuse it and literally try to melt it down in a destructive test, you'll never need the warranty.  I have suppressors that are essentially 2 decades old with untold amount of rounds through them in varying calibers and even full auto and it's still got more life left in it than I do.  It will outlast me and my grandchildren.

You can see from the bore camera picture below that there is a little erosion around the mouth of the bore on the baffles of my oldest suppressor, but is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.  This suppressor has fired 22, 9mm, 38, 357, 10mm, 6.8spc, 223, 7.62x39, 300blk, 9x39 and probably others that I'm not thinking of at the moment.  Seriously, you should never need a warranty unless you do something stupid.  There are no moving parts.  Metal is thick enough to last several lifetimes of normal use.  Especially in pistol calibers and subsonic don't see the heat and erosion that rifle calibers go through.  Just my 2 cents worth

Excellent post and spot on.
