To me has a better tone than the Obsidian, which sounds sharp to me. IMHO, the Tirant 45 is every bit as quiet as all the newer cans. The 9 is simply shorter than the 45 and works well but the 45 works on 9 even better with the metric left hand adapter for Sig's. I have two 45 Tirant-M's and the 9mm Tirant-M. I wouldn't buy the bootleg version because it doesn't stand up to fast aimed semi-auto fire or short full auto bursts, or a Fostech for that matter. that and possibly the Gemtech suppressor bolt carrier. Much easier to do with the suppressor as it kind of slows things down. Probably 8,500 to 9,500 rounds usually shot accurately but quickly with optics and as I said earlier, frequent two to four round controlled bursts. that and a quality slippery bolt carrier. Shot cases of Wolf, Remington and mostly Federal and PMC green tip. I used it only on my 14.5" M4 style upper on my registered select fire lower and did a lot of burst and a couple of mag dumps, which I usually don't do. To give you an idea of how rugged their SR-5 can is. The guys got it apart, gave me a new flash hider for free as I had beat up the wrench flats AND re Cerakoted the can for free! That is above and beyond what I expected since I had not used the included Rocksett to firmly mount the flash hider to the gun barrel. I had tried everything to get that thing out including taking apart the latching assembly and running Kroil down everything and letting it soak overnight with no luck. I used it like that for a year and then decided to get it fixed and mailed it in. sounds like my Recce 5) and I managed to get the 90 tooth flash hider stuck inside the can. In another instance I had my AAC well used SR-5 (a great can. AAC took care of me and mailed the Tirant-M back. One was a baffle strike, my fault, didn't use Vibra-Tite. I have had fantastic customer support with my two returns. I even place orders through the tech support people at AAC and they just cc big Rem. Select repairs on the recorded menu or it may be tech support and you will speak to a guy on the floor at AAC instead of a kid at Remington who just can't possibly know everything about Remington rifles and shotguns and AAC suppressors. Thoughts or advice on either can or others greatly appreciated.Remington through the Freedom Group is who you unfortunately get when you call AAC and select sales or info. Anyone running the Rugged Obsidian 9? The Rugged seems like a killer deal with the promo package going on right now. I know a few on here are running the Dead Air Wolf and seem pretty happy. With the Dead Air I would have to spend an addition $110 to get their 3 lug mount. Total value of the Obsidian 9 promotional accessories package is $350.00. Plus, Rugged is offering their promotional accessories kit which includes (1) M13.5×1 LH Piston, (1) 3 Lug Mount, (1) Combo Tool, (1) Fixed Barrel Spacer, and (1) 5/8×24 Fixed Mount. However, the Rugged is priced at $581 and the Dead Air at $799. Unfortunately the dealer was out of the Rugged Obsidian 9 so I did not get to do a side by side comparison with the Dead Air Wolf. I mostly will use it in the full configuration but do like the option of switching to a K config if needed. I like both of these cans and got to demo the Dead Air Wolf SD on Saturday at the local gun shop on an MP5.
