I've narrowed my search for 1-1/4" diameter (very thin field, btw) suppressors to the Surefire Ryder 9 Ti https://www.tactical-life.com/...der-9-ti-suppressor/

Do any folks "out there" have actual experience and comments on this product?

I have one, I like it. I bought it for the light weight, small diameter and ease of cleaning. Fit and finish are great. I can almost see over it with stock sights on P228. Works well, good accuracy, quiet, not much first round pop.

Gripes... end caps loosen up until the threads get some fouling so carry the tool and check frequently. First time disassembly was a major pain. I finally figured out I need to soak the guts with some solvent before attempting to remove the baffles.

Wow, THANKS Mike748!
I figure I'll coat all of the mating surfaces with Anti-Sieze to minimize wear and carbon adhesion. And since its intended duty cycle is "UBG," it won't see much action in reality.

Did you see this (my first) post?

Thanks again, Mike748, you've made my day!

Glad I could help. I think the issue is that some fouling gets between the baffles and the ID of the can and locks things up. I have tried dry graphite lube, TW25b and silicone spray on the baffles after cleaning. The grease plus silicone plus a squirt of Gibbs or WD40 before dissassembly is working for me. Still, more difficult to take it apart than my 22 can (deadair mask). I just got some high temp Super Lube so I may try that. I don't know about anti-seize, as it is gritty to begin with.

I've shot the Surefire on CZ75B, Beretta 92, G19, MPX, AR9. I like the Beretta best as a host, seems to run cleaner and no effect on accuracy. MPX is a bit gassy. The CZ gets super dirty with the can. Probably as with any can, it does loosen up when shooting on a pistol with the booster, so I make sure to give it a twist every 10 rounds or so. Fixed adapter and rifle it does not get loose. Planning to try the 228 soon to see if the LH threads behave differently.

I'll echo what Mike748 said, purchased the Surefire 9 Titanium, in August - now waiting for the ATF.

The Silencer Shop has made the ATF paperwork a breeze, and in a cost-effective way.

Clock is ticking now...

BTW I picked up a sp01 tactical threaded barrel suppressor ready... worked really well with the Ryder 9. Sights are tall enough I think for a 1.375 can.

Also put CZ Custom adjustable rear, fo front on my 75B. They are just tall enough to peak over the 1.25 dia Ryder.

Yes, that's what I calculated from sight height to barrel measurements but I couldn't find any 1.375 diameter suppressors to speak of.
Was using https://www.burnproofgear.com/...ppressor-size-chart/ as best reference library I'd found.
If anyone knows better it might help future searchers.

ATF lead time reality: got the call 9-17-2019 from LGS that my tax stamp was received that morning, so lead time was fewer than two weeks shy of one year!
Texted Wifey and PeachBoy with the news, Wifey replied back "Funny, I was just thinking about the suppressor this morning. Hadn't thought of it in months." Amos 3.7? https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Amos-3-7/

My booster spring got soft after about 1000 rounds making accuracy erratic as it wouldn’t reseat properly. A call to Surefire and I had a new one pretty quickly. Something to watch for.

More issues. Second booster spring completely lost its temper / tension and now I have a baffle strike on the end baffle. I will be calling Surefire on Monday. Also big point of impact shifts when the suppressor gets hot, like after 10-20 pistol rounds. Shifting my recommendation to “proceed with caution” unless you really need a 1.25” can.

update... SF customer service has been great so far. will update with resolution later.

SF customer service continued to be excellent. Got the can back, will test it tomorrow.

Can worked well on its first outing. I think they made some improvements to the booster. I am going to watch the spring carefully for degradation.

Good on the second outing too, better than ever in fact. Based on my experience if you have a Ryder Ti and are not satisfied with its performance, don’t be shy about calling their customer service, they are good folks. But keep an eye on the booster spring either way.
