[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1025577, member: 1132"] The Beretta 92 would be a good suppressed 9mm. I find shooting suppressed 9mm to be more enjoyable with a gun that has a full size grip to help balance it better and give more leverage against the extra weight of the can. The Trident is a good overall 9mm can to get as it's full auto rated and can be had with a multitude of mounting options. On the Beretta you would most likely have to use a Nielsen device (booster) to get it to function. The 92 has been successfully suppressed without the use of a booster using light cans and reduced power recoil springs. I'd recommend a Jarvis threaded barrel, or get your factory barrel threaded by someone like Tornado Technologies. There are several 92 variants and not all of them have a barrel that extends past the slide far enough to thread for a can, particularly one that needs a booster. They require more space between the rear of the can and front of the slide to function correctly. You should consult with your chosen manufacturer for specs on mounts and their suggestions. One thing to consider on the Beretta is sights. Many who shoot suppressed 9mm's want taller sights to see them over the diameter of the can. I use Dawson Precision adjustable fiber optic sights on my suppressed Glock 17. Another good choice are the Meprolight adjustable tritium sights. But most Berettas have an integral front sight. There's a company that makes a taller front sight that you pin onto the integral sight, but it's a pretty ugly setup. A better choice would be one of the 92 variants such as an Elite, Brigadier or Vertec that has a dovetailed front you can replace with a taller sight (keep in mind the aforementioned barrel length on variants if you want to thread the factory barrel). Of course, you could always just ghost the factory sights behind the can with both eyes open if you don't want to add taller sights. It's easily done but many suppressor users don't like to do it. I'd definitely recommend doing tons of research on line before you pay the $200 stamp. There's nothing worse than having buyers remorse after you've paid the tax for it. Thats $200 down the drain and used cans don't hold their value. here's a good place to start: [url]http://www.silencerresearch.com/free_9mm_silencer_reviews.htm[/url] Finally, I'd recommend you attend a silencer shoot if possible, such as the one they're trying to set up in Tulsa for this spring.
