Modx-9 cleaning
So picked up a modx-9 as my first suppressor…would it be safe to clean it with an ultrasonic cleaner, or should it be done by hand? Don’t want to damage it in any way. Thanks

It's titanium--you can use ultrasonic. Typically the blast baffle and piston get lots of carbon build up. I use Slip 2000 Carbon Cutter for soaking. Quick bath in ultrasonic if NOT aluminum.
Search the silicon oil treatment on Sig Forum for pre treatment.
Use High temp anti-seize on piston threads and 1st baffle.

X10!!

Just tried it on my Obsidian 9. Though I only had a couple of hundred rounds through it, about a 2hr soak dissolved the buildup on the baffles - even the blast baffle! They all look new.

Much appreciated. I will try that first and go from there. Cleaned it by hand today…super time consuming so hoping there is a better way

If you have an ultrasonic cleaner then I wouldn't bother except in unusual circumstances with any of the carbon cutters in advance.
