Rearden Atlas XL mount on my R9. Love the mount options with the added clearance (anything with plan B dimensions) plus it adds a little volume to the can
Nice dude! That’s one reason I love companies going with the HUB mount threads 👌
Hello from South Carolina, always enjoy your suppressor videos
Hey man!
Glad you’re still enjoying the channel 😎👊🏻
Amazing channel glad I found it, about to purchase my first silencer probably a yhm t3
Hey, I appreciate that man. The T3 would be a great first can for 223/5.56 👌
Lewis Kevin Lewis Steven Williams Joseph
Great reviews, makes me even more excited for my R9! Trigger reset was loudest sound on some of those.
Thanks man 😎👊🏻
I’ve been very impressed with my R9. I’d buy it again given the chance 👌👌
Get some Freedom Munition 165gr HUSH if you can. That’s the quietest 9mm subsonic ammo I’ve used to date 🤫
I appreciate the video. Just recently bought the R45 and can't wait to use it.
It’s a beast of a can. Good choice 👌
Great video. Thank you. I got the r45. Thinking of building a 450 bushmaster in the future for hunting.
Nice dude 💪 That sounds like it’ll be a slick hunting stick 👌
And thanks!

R9 is the benchmark for which I compare other cans. How much more $ am I willing to spend for marginal amounts of sound reduction. R9 sounds amazing on my 7” AR9. Uses tri-lug mount.
Well out 👌 YHM cans are the working man’s choice. Hard to beat that cost to performance ratio.
Johnson Carol Williams Paul Moore Amy
Cool video thanks
Ya buddy 👊🏻
ordered my R9 on 2/3 and my dealer had a R45 in stock so I got one of these too. My R9 is for my mp 5 and my R45 is for my usc/ump conversion and anything else.
Great applications man. I think your finna be happy with these cans on those hosts 😎👌
Miller Ruth Taylor Maria Young Robert
Excellent comparison, really could only tell a big difference in the pistol where the caliber mismatch (9mm in the 45) made the difference I think.
Thanks man 👊🏻
And I agree with you 🤙
Awesome video brother would the r45 work with a 350 legend
Thanks man 👊🏻😎
So the R45’s little brother, the R9, is rated for 350 legend on 16” barrels or longer. Knowing that, I’d say you’ll be just fine shooting 350 legend through your R45 👌
Excellent comparison. I'm sold on the R45 for my next can. I'm still pretty new to can's. Can you recommend a mount for it that will mate with Griffin taper mounts? I'm running several on my 5.56 guns so would like to stick with that if possible.
Thanks man 👊🏻 I’m always glad to try and help y’all out.
So I cannot link to them directly here on TH-cam but if you do to Griffin Armament’s website and search for “Plan-A Taper Mount Adapter” then you’ll see their selection of adapters. It looks like they have several to choose from depending on the length of your current muzzle devices. They are also running a sale today 👌
@@CalebDowning I appreciate it. You've been a great help, watching several of your vids over the past 3 days. Will be ordering the R45 here in just a few. I'll be looking for new content from you going forward.
Thanks for that man. It’s super encouraging to hear that I was able to help folks out. The R45 is a great can, you’ll be happy with it I’m sure 👌
Appreciate the comparison. Did you have any apprehensions running these cans on barrels shorter than manufacturer recommended? (5" 300 blackout and 13.7" .223)
Wow this is weird I was literally looking for this video YESTERDAY
Haha, I think that’s called serendipitous 😁🤙
I’m waiting for my R9… it’s still in NFA jail, been there since may lol 😢
It’ll be worth the wait… hang in there 🤙
@@CalebDowning once I get it I’m gonna order a resonator
@frankensteinfirearms Excellent 😎👌
Which .45 cal tri lug hub mount fits on the R45? Specifically fit on a B&T tri lug host.
Great question. So… I think this is what will get you up and running. A 45 cal adapter from SilencerCo(AC2448) and the “1.125-28 TPI” adapter from JK Armament. If used this same setup but with the SilencerCo 9mm tri lug and it’s worked perfectly. There should be no difference with the SilencerCo 45cal tri lug.
Many thanks, brother. Can we quote you on 'Beast Can'?
Haha, absolutely 😁🤙
i just got my r9 out of jail two weeks ago. it'll live on my ar9, but i'm glad i can shoot 300 blackout on it. no issues running on a 13.7 556 rifle, right? i have a 14.5 pin/welded, and am concerned about the barrel restrictions.
Nice dude!
So YJM technically wants you to keep the barrel length above 16” for 5.56. I wouldn’t worry about lighter use on a 13.7/14.5. Just don’t go hog wild on it.
Yeah I emailed YHM and they were pretty firm about 16" minimum for 556 for the R9
The R9 manual says 7 inch barrel minimum on 300 BLK and you put it on a 5 inch, is that ok with minimal use Caleb? Thanks
It’s shorter than what they say to use, so if you do it then it’s on you. I can attest that mine has handled that length of barrel with light use just fine 👌
Would you be happy with the R45 to suppress a 8 inch PCC? I already own two 30 cal cans, two 556 cans and a 22lr can. I don't really plan on buying more. But I do have an mp5 I'd like to suppress. Obviously it would be nice to have a dedicated can for 9mm but I'm tired of paying tax stamps. Lol
The R45 sounds pretty dang good on my MP5. I would be happy with running it on PCC’s, no problem 🤙
The audio 8:05 sounded better on the r9 to me. But I'm also laughing that you had no issue putting them on shorter then warranteed bbl lengths and unrated calibers. I appreciate that lol
Haha, what’s life without a little excitement 😁🤷♂️
@CalebDowning lol here I am looking to compare numbers on muzzle pressure to make sure I don't blow it up
@3231bsln In all honestly it’s better to be safe than sorry. But this is one reason I do what I do. Just trying to do and show some of the things others won’t.
@@CalebDowning
I know it states that only for use with 16 in barrel minimum. Did you have any issues using it on shorter barrels?
@gera2396 Are you talking about rifle calibers? I’ll try the cans out on shorter barrels but that will erode the baffles prematurely and isn’t advised. For pistol calibers I haven’t found any adverse effects of utilizing shorter barrels.
How strictly do you think I should take the 16" minimum barrel length for 5.56 on the R9? Very tempted to run it on my 12.5 with a brake as a sacrificial baffle. Don't care about voiding my warranty - just concerned about the can exploding.
I’d do that at your own risk. I don’t think the can is going to blow up but it’s not good for it. If you want to run a can full time on that build then I’d surest getting a Turbo or Resonator that’s rated for that length. I think you’ll be happier with their performance on that caliber as well.
@@CalebDowning makes sense. I have several proper 5.56 and 30 cal cans in jail right now that can handle shorter barrels. I am just impatient haha
@kcamroccamian You’ll probably be fine running it until the other cans clear. I wouldn’t be doing heavy strings of fire with it though.
When using the R9 on a 5.56 gun, do you have to use the 1/2x28 direct thread mount or could you use a phantom QD flash hider? My main rifle is a 12.5 midlength, think it would be okay on that or am I pushing the barrel length restriction too much? Was thinking I could run the R9 in the meantime til I get a Turbo T3. My main reason for getting the R9 would be for PCC's.
You could run the R9 on a Phantom mount. If you were going to do it then it try and run the brake as the muzzle device. That should help to save the baffles from the blast if the shorter barrel.
So you could do it, but it wouldn’t be recommended(I would do it, just limit your use on it and don’t do mag dumps).
Is the R45 rated for 10mm also?
I read that majority of 45 cans can handle 10mm.
Also how do you guys still have snow? It’s July lol
For sure, the R45 can definitely handle 10mm. It’s a tank of a can 🦾
Man, the weather up here is crazy. All the ground snow is gone but I’d you get up into any elevation there is still snow. This year we had quite a bit of it and it only really warmed up a month or so ago. I’ll take this weather over muggy/hot southeast weather any day 😅
I’m relatively new to the NFA world, i have one can that I’ve had for about two years. I chose to do a form 1 just because i like to make my own stuff, i wanted it to be a do all can. It’s cool that i can pop a booster in it and run it on a pistol or swap to a plan b adapter and run it on my rifles but it’s a pita waiting for stuff to cool enough to swap it out at the range.
I really need a dedicated 5.56 can, if budget wasn’t a thing what would you pick for a dedicated 5.56 can and if you’re tight on money what’s a good option?
Making your own can is a great way to learn about them and see what works and doesn’t work. So kudos to you for putting in the time and effort to do it 🤙
For a dedicated 5.56 can… If budget wasn’t an issue then I’d be torn between the Dead Air Sierra-5 and the YHM Turbo T3. If budget was an issue then I’d just go for the YHM Turbo T3 or even their new Turbo K with the lower backpressure baffle design.
I’ve heard some folks have had problems with the Sierra-5 but I haven’t had any problems with mine.
There are a lot of good 5.56 cans out there and most will sound indistinguishable from each other. I would advise you look into the different mount options and see what kind of muzzle devices you like. Then find a can that best fits your needs and works with that mounting system. I know that sounds like “judging a book by its cover” but it really is try that most cans will do that same as their competitors will.
@@CalebDowning well i saw all the stuff coming in the form 1 world and figured i better get after it before they make it impossible to do unless you have access to lathes/mills. But yeah it was a cool experience just going through the application process and studying to figure out how i wanted to set up my baffles. I’m honestly pretty happy with it i just kinda wish i wouldn’t of went for a “do all” can and just did a 5.56 can off the bat. I mostly shoot 5.56 guns and feel like better performance there would be more ideal. It was cool none the less though and thanks!
Yeah I’ve seen several people talking about the baffles basically disintegrating on the sierra 5 and something about some bad heat treat. I’ve been eyeballing the rugged razor 5.56,it seems like a pretty sweet can.
I get what you mean,I’m heavily invested in plan b stuff so something that atleast has an adapter to work with the “hub” threads would be ideal. I really used to like yhm but it seems like now the prices aren’t as cheap,idk about the t3 i haven’t looked into it much but the old ones just didn’t seem as appealing. I’ve seen a bunch of people have issues with the mounts being out of spec and have problems trying to get things warrantied. I could always just pop my rearden atlas into it and use it on my plan B muzzle devices though. I’ll check out the t3, thanks for the response man!
How would you describe 223 55gr out of a 10.5 with turbo k sound to raw ear???
That is surprisingly manageable. I got one of the 1st Gen Turbo K cans and have thoroughly enjoyed it on everything from 10.3” to 20” setups. I’ve got several videos with the Turbo K here on the channel 🎥🍿😉
@@CalebDowning i don't plan on wearing ears. Should I be okay?
@@BearArmsChannel 223 is supersonic so it’s gonna have that crack. You could get away with it for a few shots but I wouldn’t spend a whole day at the range without ear pro.
@@CalebDowning honestly I'm just trying to scare away these coyotes from my chicken coops without trying to wake up my neighbors
In that case you may want that T3. It’s slightly longer and will give a little more suppression. The K is great if you want to keep the overall size down but if you want more suppression then adding an inch for the T3 is worth it.
Does the hand guard run hot when you have it tucked?
Yes it does. Not much getting around that. Good rail panels is the best fix for that that I have found.
@@CalebDowning is it unusable? I love the way tucked look but I’m concerned about the heat.
If you are going to take it to a class and dump 500 rounds in an afternoon then it’s gonna get hot, your at least need a glove. I don’t do heavy rates of fire on my little 300blk and it’s never gotten so hot that it was unusable.
Quality heat guard panels will go a long way 👌
Quick questions….. you have done a lot with YHM, the R9 and the Resonator K are basically the same can, the only difference I have read is the first baffle in the RESK is inconel, the inside baffles diameter on the Resk and R9 are the same at .390, the muzzle caps are different…. YHM can’t put the inconel baffle in the R9 and give it the same barrel rating as the Res K, They could make one can capable shooting 9mm, 762.x39 and 556 out of a few 10’inch barrel with hub threads. It would be a universal can, that’s small, light weight and DOSE NOT cost 1000 dollars. Why don’t they do this they already make every part. The more I research this buying a suppressor stuff, starting to see a trend. Don’t build one that’s good all round let’s one that’s good this and one that’s good that. It’s kind of a gimmick. Can you help me understand why the companies can build a can that shoot AR-15 10 inch barrel pressure, it can’t also shoot a 9mm???
Bore size
@@gunplaytv I just read the bore size for the RES K is .390 and the muzzle cap is .356, if I am not mistaken most 9mm suppressor are .375 not great at math but that’s 19/100 of an inch. They already have the cmc measurement and equipment from the R9 can. It just seem like a gimmick to me to sale more cans. And YHM is not the only company. Look at the omega 36 m at 1100+’dollars….YHM could smash that price! At 600 dollars, what the current price of the RES K is.
I can fully appreciate your confusion on this point. When I started out buying suppressors, I thought the same way. My first can was a Huntertown Arms Kestrel 7.62 AK. Basically it was a user serviceable 30 caliber suppressor that was bored out large enough to handle 9mm. So it was a do-all can for anything 9mm and below including 22lr. I thought I had struck gold. Then I shot it… 😂
It would handle pretty much anything I threw at it but it was loud, gassy, heavy, and threw quite the massive fireballs. Now that I have caliber specific suppressors I can understand why universal cans aren’t generally the way to go. There is actual science that goes into designing a suppressor to handle the high pressures of a 30-06 and one that handle lower pressure 45 ACP. You can get cans that do almost everything but you really won’t be that happy with them when it’s all said and done.
If I was to do it all again, I’d get a 22lr and 30 cal suppressor to start. After that I’d go with a 9mm can followed by a 5.56.
@@CalebDowning thank you, that just means I can’t afford to buy any suppressor, much less 4. And that sucks, already bought the jmac 360 hd hud threaded mount for my pcc. You just saved me a lot of money.
@JG-gw5cc Suppressors and cool and actually do perform a task of helping to save your hearing. But it’s better to get suppressors that you’ll be happy with than to get something you’ll regret down the road.
If you really want a quiet and fun setup, then get a 22lr and suppress that. If you like it enough then save up for the next one.
Hey bud, quick question for ya. Got a 10.5” 300 blackout, the hand guard is 10.5 and the barrel is 10.5, looking at the r9 what adapters or extra stuff do I need cause the thread is 5/8-24 and I’m new to cans. The inside diameter of rail is 1.5 and I see the r9 is a little over 1.5 but very close. Would that block me getting it on? Thanks in advance
That sounds close… like you said the R9 is about 1.56” in diameter so it’s not going to fit under a 1.5” handguard. If you installed a YHM Phantom QD muzzle device (or even the Phantom mini) and then used their Phantom QD adapted, you should have the clearance you need to mount everything up.
You could look into other companies QD mounts that are HUB compatible as well. If your on Instagram then send me a picture of what you’ve got and I can probably get you some more specific information 👍
I hope that helps.
@@CalebDowning thanks man. Yeah I was doing some research on cans last night. Kinda torn between the r9 or omega 9k. I think I could run the r9 with the QD mount cause I think that mount adds an inch roughly to end of barrel? Between the omega 9k or the r9 what would you run on a .300?
QD mini*
The R9 will beat the Omega 9k hands down. The only thing the Omega 9k does better is being slightly smaller and lighter. I’d you wanted a dedicated pistol can, then the Omega 9K would work better. But on a 300BLK I would heavely advise going with the R9 👌
R9 vs. Witt Machine Mod1 45? Any chance anyone has shot them both?
I have not, anyone else? 🤔🤷♂️
I have Witt Machine cans (.223, 9mm and .45) direct thread and a R9 and others. Bear in mind I'm a SOT, so less of a thing for me, quicker, easier to get. If I was buying one or another its hands down the R9. I've put a Witt Machine .45 can on a 10 inch AR10 .308 and it thankfully saved the day as a friend thought his rifle wasn't annoying with a muzzle brake only. Still tons of flash and report was likely pulled back by 30-40%. I keep a Witt Machine 9mm can permanently attached to my Extar EP9 SBR, shooting subs sounds fair and it looks pretty darn good honestly. The .223 can I have on a 10" AR Pistol build, still far from quiet but once again better than nothing at all and it will just stay there. I'm going to demo my Witt .45 can soon on a Ruger 7.62 x39 bolt gun for fun. If I was buying them and paying for stamps, I would get the 9mm can but comparing the R9 to the Witt, once again hands down the R9 wins all around for all categories of use. There just isn't a better deal, flexibility offered, unless you get the R45 if you need that diameter. Bear in mind the R9 isn't a great pistol can, it can do it but its heavy. It really shines on PCCs and Rifles. Also, I've shot Witt .45 on a High Point Carbine .45 and it isn't too bad with a longer barrel, still I'm wearing ear pro. I'm retired military, VA "hearing aids", so I'm trying to keep what I have left.
@divinegracehealing8653 Thanks for the insight! I'm leaning towards the R45 primarily for a 45-70. I'm sure it will work well enough to run on the CZ Scorpion. I'm just not sure how it will perform on with 8.6 BLK. I know subs will be fine. Curious what pressures supersonic loads will produce. I assume if it can handle 45-70 it should be sufficient...but again, I'm guessing.
@@k9gustoff At suppress Fest my 1st stop was the YHM booth as I was on a mission to demo the R45. Anyway, they didn't have one out, stated he might put one out later, didn't happen. So, immediately my intuition says, they don't want to compare "side by side" 9mm subs on SBR PCCs between R9/R45 with a 1,000 shooters in attendance. I have a Thompson Machine SG5, Big Monocore Can tri-lug for my UZI and CZ Skorpion and its crazy quiet on those platforms. I can't speak to those calibers you mentioned, don't own them, but I'm sure you will be pleased on a 9mm for sure. Hey, if you live in Florida, close to Tampa I would gladly let you throw the Witt Machine on your .45-70 for shits and giggles.
@divinegracehealing8653 I appreciate the invite. If I still lived in Jacksonville, I'd take you up on the offer. I'm a few miles too far out of range to make that drive now.

Thanks for the comparison videos. It helps all of us make good choices when we can’t get our hands on all these cans.
I’m glad I’m able to do this kind of work and give folks my opinion(for what that’s worth). Thanks for letting me know your getting something out of all this 😎👊🏻
How did R45 work on the 45-70? If you had to choose between R45 vs Primal? And knowing that 45-70 is in the mix.
The Primal is going to sound better on the 45-70. It’s just a fact, the larger volume puts the Primal over the R45 for the 45-70.
I haven’t shot both cans side by side, perhaps that’s something I can do down the road. The R45 did a great job, don’t get me wrong. And it’s a couple hundred dollars cheaper 🤷♂️ Either one would work well.
@CalebDowning Thank you very much. I was leaning more towards primal, then you made a video on the R45, and I thought it was a sweet deal. So I'll get the Promal first, then R45. Thanks for your help, as always.
Sounds like a good plan 🤙 Always glad to help 😁
The Primal is still the best sounding 45ACP can that I’ve used to date.
@calebdowning
If mainly for mp5 clone would you recommend the 9 or 45?? Or cgs mod 9sk i can get that for $565 plus a free tax stamp at my lgs. The 9 i can get for $420 plus $50 transfer plus $200 stamp $670. I read the blowback on the 9sk is bad. Not too many deals on the 45. If it were you which one? Thanks for any input!
I’d stick with the R9 for dedicated 9mm PCC’s. The R45 may have less back pressure but it’s also larger.
The CGS MOD9SK is a a really good looking can but it is not going to be as quiet as either the R9 or R45. I would recommend the 9SK as a dedicated handgun can but not so much a PCC can.
Hopefully that helps.
Helps confirm what I already knew thanks alot! I was just wanting that free tax stamp lol but Id rather spend an extra $100 and get the better can more beastly more versatile and basically made for pccs. I am new to the game and I can see alot of money spent on mounts and things and you can’t have just 1 can right lmao. These new wait times are sick so im jumping aboard and hoping for a 3 day approval myself. Take care caleb got yourself a subscriber here!
@FirstNameLastName-sv1nn I totally understand man. That 9SK is actually my favorite dedicated pistol can given its size and weight, but it’s not the quietest.
The RS9 from Resilient Suppressors is also a really good PCC can. Lower back pressure than the R9 and R45.
Thanks for the subscription! 😎🤙
I've shot, own and sold several R9's, great can for the money. I'm personally using mine at present with an AAC 51T mount on a SIG 556R rifle. I do have a tri-lug and pistol setup for it, most likely it will remain on the SIG and in time will get at least one R45 for some of my 9mm PCCs. I have a Silencer Co Omega 45K and I would agree there isn't a better deal "flexible" can at this price point than the R45. I did shoot the YHM .45 ACP pistol can on a 1911 it was nice, but its purely a pistol can "likely the one you were mentioning". I was just at Suppress Fest this past weekend and I shot a lot of different cans if you want to be frugal "smart" with your money buy one of these two, get a mount you like and just enjoy it. BTW, having an over bored can is less back pressure to your face with a semi-auto, so IMHO its better all around.
I couldn’t agree with you more 👌Spot on.
