Best .45 suppressor host

[Mark-60]

Old thread but I picked up a 227 with a 220 threaded combat barrel several months ago and it has been superb. Quite literally blows my Hk's out of the water

You didn't have that threaded barrel when I shot that. I wannah play with that some time.

As an addition to my earlier post, I shoot my .45 Osprey on my G21 / KKM barrel, Beretta 92SF with a Tornado Technology threaded OEM barrel, and my G23 with a Lone Wolf threaded 9mm conversion barrel. Honestly, they all shoot fantastically, no problems with any of them. The G23 with the conversion barrel and the can on it is a real soft shooter....lots of fun....

I ended up with a Storm Lake barrel for my M&P 45. I also have a Lone Wolf 9mm barrel for my G23C, which is a joy to shoot with subsonic ammo. Still lusting after the FNX-45T, especially now that FN has changed their LE discount requirements to include me. Still over $900 though, maybe some day.

I bought a storm lake barrel for my xd45 and I'm pretty happy with it. For the $$ it's not a bad suppressor host, and 13rnds too

One thing I've heard rumors about is that SIGs Mk25 'SEAL gun' is 2-3db quieter then anything else. Should be ALL SIG P-series if that's the case, since the Mk25 isn't that special.

And if a whole new pistol is to be bought for suppressor use, why not get the quietest one right?

(Can anyone confirm/debunk this btw?)

According to the silencerco test video, the 1911 is the quietest. There's probably not enough difference to pick one gun over based on the decibels.

I just shot a glock 21 and an xd45 with an octane45 to compare the difference. Glock21 was slightly quieter in my opinion but not enough to choose the glock over an XD if you're an XD guy. I'd say use any 45 you like if it functions reliably.

Both would still require ear plugs

This configuration pretty much negates the "compact" nature of the pistol.

I've often wondered what kind of looks I'd get if I attempted to CC this setup with an inside the waistband holster...

I'll show you my .45 suppressor host just as soon as the stamp shows up.

I realize this isn't a .45 but it is a .45 Osprey..... Works great on my 92FS.....and the Glock21 with a KKM barrel:
