For a 9mm suppressor, I've noticed on several web sites that the manufacturer/supplier used stainless for the threaded cap and first baffle and aluminum for the remaining cups and tube. I trust that they pretty much know what they're doing but was wondering why. Is it because the pressure and temps for 9mm are low enough that aluminum is perfectly acceptable? After the first baffle what are the pros and cons to having additional ones stainless? Easier to clean? Erosion resistance and longer life? I realize there is a weight penalty, but stock kit for 9mm from QB is only .5 lbs. Thanks in advance for sharing knowledge.
ETA - these are k baffles in the QuietBore can.
