LIGHTEST IN CLASS
Thunder Beast designed the Fly 9 with the same philosophy as their ULTRA series. Lightweight, high-performance, yet compact as possible. The ULTRA series comes in various sizes, but the Fly 9 includes multiple length options right out of the box. It can be run in a 7" version, which is still smaller than many competitors. A module can be removed, dropping it down to only 4.4" long and still hearing safe with many ammo types. This gives users the option between ultra-quiet and ultra-small, depending on their needs.
TBAC is known for light suppressors, and their newest pistol option doesn't disappoint. The full titanium construction weighs in at 7.9 ounces for the Fly 9. That includes the piston and mounting hardware. This is 3-6 ounces lighter than most of the competition.
In addition to 9mm, the Fly 9 is rated for 300 Blackout supersonic on 8" and longer barrels and subsonic on 5.5" barrels. It can also handle 350 LEGEND if used on a 16" barrel. The pistons were designed to be compatible with other common industry leaders. The Fly 9 can utilize Thunder Beast pistons, but is also compatible with those made by Rugged and SilencerCo.
CAPITOL ARMORY'S OPINION
Light pistol cans are a somewhat misunderstood topic. Many people don't think 3 or 5 ounces is a big deal when putting on the end of a pistol, as the can "ruins the balance anyway" or "it's not that big of a difference. In those aspects, they are correct. What isn't talked about are the two main reasons for light can on a pistol. Better cycling and less mass affecting recoil. The lighter the silencer, the less "bounce" it has after a shot. Combined with both a long and a short configuration, it's the best of both worlds. The Fly 9 checks many essential boxes for a great-sounding, great functioning 9mm suppressor.
