Love my Wolfman. If I was strictly using it for a handgun I'd lean towards the 9K, but since I use it on my PCC's and 300BLK, the Wolfman is the most versatile and best suppressed. Thanks for the video amigo

[@CalebDowning]

Totally agree with you man(hope things are good for you down there by the way 🙏). The Omega shouldn’t perform as well as it does but the bigger Wolfman definitely outperforms it.

[@unashamedly1776]

@@CalebDowning They're both cool cans, can't go wrong with either. Life is going good, super busy with work and a 3 month old. Congrats on the move up north! Definitely looks amazing

[@kcjones_ddd]

I believe your problem with not reaching full battery was your recoil spring weight. When going to a suppressor, the shadow systems pistol needs a 20 lb spring. This will force the mass forward better. Shadow systems does technical tuesdays...and Trevor discusses this issue in depth.

[@CalebDowning]

Excellent info, thanks Casey 👊🏻

[@hooahextreme]

The Wolfman seemed to have the best suppression. Especially with the 165. Sounded like a light air rifle.

[@CalebDowning]

I agree. It’s stupid quite it it’s wet/wiped/full length configuration 🤫😆

[@beck4218]

Dead Air FTW. Great cans.

[@918h22man]

I just got a wolfman after watching your review today. It sounded Hollywood quiet compared to the 9k and it's only like .4 inches longer. I'm curious to see how quiet it is with a wipe. Great sound review man!

[@CalebDowning]

Very nice 👍 I’m super pleased with the Wolfman. Great choice!

[@romebowermaster5060]

im thinking about gettinv a wolfman do u think its still better than a 9k

[@CalebDowning]

The Wolfman is definitely a better sounding suppressor. I’m sure it’s due mostly to the fact that it’s larger than the 9K.

[@romebowermaster5060]

@@CalebDowning jus found out about the new spectre 9 coming out gonna go with that since wolfman will probably wear my 19 down faster since its rated for more 9mm calibers that arent small like pistols

[@cwinter90]

Holy shit. Was looking at pistol supressors to put on my War Poet 2.0 and here you are testing them on the exact 9mm. Thanks!

[@CalebDowning]

Haha, nice 🤙

[@user-rx4yb1db4v]

I ordered fiocchi suppressor 9mm 158 its amazingly quiet and racked my pdp 5 inch everytime very clean as well.

[@CalebDowning]

Very nice, good to know 👌

[@BigTiny-pv5he]

Wolfman and a wipe will blow the omega out the water. You can buy the wipes at any hardware store. It’s just a faucet washer. So why not use the wipe lol

[@CalebDowning]

You are correct there 👍 A wet/wiped Wolfman is 🔥 My only complaint with wipes is that they totally mess with the guns accuracy. It’s quiet but you’d better be close if you want to hit something.

[@BigTiny-pv5he]

@@CalebDowning I’ve not noticed any difference on a pcc with a 3 lug as long as you Mark the 12 o’clock position on the can. If you don’t position the can the same every time. It will effect zero of the gun.

[@Kentucky.Tactical]

You could definitely tell the Wolfman is by far the quietest. Nice video.

[@CalebDowning]

It’s super nice in the sound department 👌 A little big for pistols but with its performance I really don’t mind.

[@shojus]

Ya, the Wolfman was the most quiet to me, especially with the 165's. And I did pick them correctly surprisingly...

[@CalebDowning]

Nice 🤙 Yup, I think the Wolfman beats all the other cans hands down for sound.

[@stirfry741]

Got a Wolfman filed today. Love that it’s super versatile while still being a big performer

[@CalebDowning]

Great choice of a can 😎👌

[@stirfry741]

@@CalebDowning I’m excited I got an RC2 and ruger silent SR that I paper filed 5 months ago I’m waiting on too. I’m hoping I get that super fast turnaround on the Wolfman as I efiled that

[@CalebDowning]

@stirfry741 Turnaround times are crazy wild right now from what I hear. I’d be interested to hear back when yours comes in 🤔

[@tjwest13]

I prefer the omega, but I could tell the wolf man was a little quieter with 165’s

[@CalebDowning]

For size I’d have to agree with you. That little fella is hard to beat when you compare it’s size/weight to effectiveness ratio👌

[@miles267]

Omega 9K FTW

[@TrdTodd]

I like the wolfman but its more of a subgun can that can work on a pistol the omega is more of a pistol can that can work really well on a subgun the omega wins for actual use on a handgun for size, weight at the cost of a bit of suppression on subs.

[@CalebDowning]

I agree 100% 👌👍

[@romebowermaster5060]

can u elaborate more i want best sound suppression for my glock 19 and the wolfman just sounds so much better i rlly want wolfman but the 9k is the most popular and i want to know why

[@CalebDowning]

@romebowermaster5060 The Wolfman is absolutely better sounding than the Omega 9K. The 9k is a very simple and robust can that is better balanced for pistols due to its weight and size. The Wolfman will sound better, given its size. I wouldn’t hesitate getting the Wolfman for a Glock 19 if you want a quiet setup.

[@romebowermaster5060]

@@CalebDowning its hard trying to find a true db rating bc silencerco post its 9k at 135db but doesnt specify what ammo was used for its 9mm comparision and wolfman is 122 db (long) but doesnt say what ammo was used

Got a wolfman today for my mp5k clone (century arms AP5-P) with 3lug adapter.

[@CalebDowning]

Excellent 😎👊🏻

Liked the video. Had in mind to do the same thing when my stamp comes in for the Wolfman. Going to run it in comparison to my Optimus and Nautilus.

[@mrskippingguyonmush]

Before this video I had a fuel filter suppressor advertisement. They even used a clip from Mrgunsngear when he made a video on one. 😂

[@CalebDowning]

Dang, ATF is fishing hard 😂

[@GamenightwithMatt]

I can tell the Wolfman sounds better, but I don't think it sounds $200 better. I think when you factor in the weight and length into the equation, the Omega 9k is better overall.

[@CalebDowning]

Solid point. The Wolfman can handle 5.56 whereas the Omega will pop under that pressure. So for some applications the Wolfman is gonna shine. On the other hand the Omega 9k is one dang good compact 9mm can… so it all depends on what your trying to accomplish.

[@leadfarmer5035]

Yeah omega 9K for the win. Simple clean rugged!

[@CalebDowning]

Yippers 👌

[@jayperez7360]

Yup I knew right away the deadair was the third supressor used, great video.

[@CalebDowning]

Nice dude! Thanks 🤙

[@russellmorash3816]

The heavy grain bullets definitely made a big difference to bad they won't cycle the action

[@kylehill4437]

Spring move it up to 20 lbs my Mr920 runs flawlessly with my can.

[@CalebDowning]

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up 👌

[@blackbirdfpv1981]

Honestly got it right . But I personally think the omega sounded the best. I think if u used the Wolfman with the wipe it would have either matched the omega or been just a tad bit more quiet

[@CalebDowning]

Nice 👍 Fair assessment 👌🤔

[@liamhernandez9329]

I would’ve liked to have seen you shoot the Wolfman it is for Configuration

[@CalebDowning]

I have more 9mm can comparisons that have the Wolfman. See if those videos show what you are looking for. If they don’t then I’ll be happy to do one that is specific for what you are interested in 👍

[@jamit762]

3:23 I had the same issue where my slide would be out of battery untill my trigger reset you may want to look into stepping up the weight on your recoil spring a pound or two. I had an 11,13,15, and same issue across the board 15 less so but I went back to a 17lb spring completely resolved. The other problem would be when it would happen it would cause trigger slap where it would bounce the trigger on your finger.

[@CalebDowning]

I’ve got some different weighted springs, I’ll try that. Thanks Joshua 👊🏻

[@MrFuchew]

Pretty fucking sad watching you try to cycle those 165s

[@astang1072]

[@bobborlog1677]

Wolfman all day I use mine on a glock 42 in 380 and 9mak in short and it's funny quiet

[@CalebDowning]

Ooo, those would sound sweet 👌 I like it!

[@DanielBoone337]

I'm digging the Wolfman... I'm looking for a new suppressor now I want something I can use with my single shot 350 legend during primitive weapons season but since that's only a couple few weeks a year I'm wanting to be able to use it on handguns, AK's and maybe even 300 Blackout. So far I'm down to the Wolfman and SilencerCo OMEGA 36M and I really don't know what to pick.

[@CalebDowning]

Tough choice man. I’ve never used the 36M but it does check a lot of the boxes. I’m obviously a Dead Air fan-boy so take what I say with a grain of salt. One thing I don’t like about the 36M is the mounting system. I’ve heard too many folks talk about them coming loose. Again I’ve never used them personally so I don’t have that experience myself. Both of these are pretty dang close in most measurements. You can see what I chose but this is your choice and up to your style 🤷‍♂️ I’m interested to hear which you choose 🤔

[@DanielBoone337]

@@CalebDowning I'm a huge fan of Dead Air also and I've heard the same thing about the 36M... I have the Nomad 30, Nomad TI, and Mask 22 but I looked up the Wolfman and I can use it with 350 legend also so it's a no brainer for me now I'm going with the Wolfman plus I already have pretty much all of their mounting systems... I was thinking the Wolfman was the AK suppressor they make for some reason so I didn't even consider it until I watched this video... I'm ate up with the dumbass sometimes. LOL Take care brother!!

[@CalebDowning]

Sounds like you’ve made up your mind 😄👍 Hey and if you get the Wolfman then it sounds like you’ll only be one more can away from the final Asylum tier 🤙

[@fireboyrasmussen1976]

Ok, so wolfman in full with a wipe is gona be real nice

[@CalebDowning]

Most definitely 👌

[@carlosfernandez1]

Not legal in Puerto Rico. Very interesting topic. It will work for me because I have lost a lot of hearing. Good video.

[@CalebDowning]

All the laws around suppressors make no sense to me. It’s simply “ear pro” but on the gun not the ear.

[@Guardian2A]

Can you share how you were able to use the muzzle device for the Hunter Town arms 762AK? Does that thread to the can without a mount installed? I only got the 14mm mount, the one it came with. Would love to get another mount for it but don't know if anyone makes one and it looks like you found a mount that works with it.

[@CalebDowning]

I was using their YHM adapter and a YHM muzzle device. They used to offer those mounts but since they are out of business I’m not sure where to get one. I’ll be honest man. This can was my first one and I learned a lot after getting it. I have since had the can rethreaded to 1.375x24(the industry standard). Now I. An run direct thread, put actual boosters on, use KeyMo mounts, and even run 3 lug. It cost about as much to recut the threads as it did getting the can, but it was worth it to me.

[@Guardian2A]

@@CalebDowning Okay thanks man, yeah seems like I'll need to send it off to get rethreaded.

[@CalebDowning]

It was worth the cost for me. The can is still pretty heavy and not as good as other cans I’ve got but it’s way better than it was. I also had the front of the can cut out and threaded to accept Dead Air front caps 👌

[@alexglenn2122]

My love and appreciation of the 9k didn't hit until after I tried running longer cans on a PCC and pistol. I'm going to be shooting with ears all the time anyway, so a couple decibels less for the size and lack of gas really sold me

[@CalebDowning]

Superbly put 👌

[@sherazudden7221]

Please mention price also!

[@CalebDowning]

Prices change. That’s why most videos don’t mention price. I’ve seen some cans coat about five hundred one year and then numb up to eight hundred the next 🤷‍♂️

[@joeross952]

Does every pistol have to have a piston?

[@CalebDowning]

Only a few wouldn’t need one. If the barrel moves like on a Glock, HK, Sig, or S&W then it’ll need a booster. I believe the Beretta would generally work without a piston since it’s barrel only moves linearly.

[@user-rx4yb1db4v]

I don't think a none tilting barrel needs one but I would call and expert before trìng if you can you may need a spacer.

[@drail636]

I think you don’t realize the you’re shooting a 9mm through a 7.62mm suppressor that why you shaving the bullet.

[@CalebDowning]

Normally I’d say you were correct, but the Kestrel 7.62 is substantially overbored and can handle 9mm being shot through it.

[@drail636]

@@CalebDowning oh, okay wasn’t aware of that. Sorry about that. Was a great video BTW.

[@CalebDowning]

It’s totally understandable 👍 Normally a 30 cal can would get shredded if you shot a 9mm through it. This can however was built a little different. It’s a garbage can though 🤦‍♂️ Thanks man 👊🏻

[@TheDuppyman]

What was the issue with the wolfman that you had to send it in for warranty?

[@CalebDowning]

That sucker was completely out of alignment 😳 If I had shot it then it would have blown half the can off. They fixed it up though 👌

[@Justin-cy8is]

@@CalebDowning How did you know it was out of alignment? Should be trying my Wolfman on my APC9Pro for the first time any day now.

[@CalebDowning]

I stuck a rod down the barrel and it was hitting the baffles. The can was also visibly bent.

[@j.p.4541]

@@CalebDowning Oh wow I can’t believe their QC allowed it out the door bent like that. I’ve been debating on a 9mm can to replace my old AAC Tirant-9. It’s still quiet but getting Remington to fix it is impossible since they’re out of business.

[@CalebDowning]

I was pretty surprised as well 🤷‍♂️ But they fixed it so I’m happy. It’s been a great can for me so I’d give it two thumbs up 👍👍
