However nowadays, you have several sources for quality 3 lugs fro around $30 and with the appropriate mount have almost nothing protruding from the handguard from say the M16 family like this:I like 3-lug for sub-guns, but it isn't the only solution one can use with a threaded barrel. I believe the Shaw MK9 uses HUB mounts, so you could use a short Plan A adaptor from Griffin and one of their corresponding taper mounts, which would add minimal length.
PM sentSlowmo,
Please let me know how you make out getting in contact with Joe.
I think this sounds like the best option for me since i'd like something thats easily removable, compact, easy to clean, and still offers good customer support incase of failure. My next question is how do i get in contact with Joe so i can order a CT9KS with this kind of custom style mount? Im curious to take a risk on the bixler since it seems to have lots of good reviews. Correct me if im wrong but ill need to buy a tri lug barrel for it to lock on correct? Thank you again for dealing with my questions. I really appreciate all the help thus far.I can't find the thread right now but someone posted some pics that Joe did of a custom UZI mount where he machined the teeth like a real UZI barrel nut so I presume he can do it.
Yes, it will be a tad longer but more convenient especially if you want to quickly remove it just for transport and have a small case for your UZI.
I obviously like both. However, have a strong preference to the Bixler mount due to the rock solid lockup and no o-rings or springs to worry about wearing out or maintaining.

Joe is now at Shaw Armament. He can do Bixler 3 lug or the Uzi barrel nut mount or both if you want. 3 lug more versatile and faster. While Uzi barrel nut replacement is only for the Uzi but again you could get both if budget is not a concernI think this sounds like the best option for me since i'd like something thats easily removable, compact, easy to clean, and still offers good customer support incase of failure.

I like the idea of both but I will see what my wallet prefers... Thank you for all the help!Joe is now at Shaw Armament.

You have mentioned this before, but on their page that you link the description states:...available at Shaw as the MK9. It is also available without the ugly banner / logo on the side. https://www.shawarms.com/products/thundercan-5176-7191aa71-0d15-454d-8bef-9719e1028535
This can is fully serviceable and uses no aluminum (all SS and Ti) despite that it is lighter than the GSL Phoenix which is amazing. I cannot tell the difference between it and my MK9K in sound.
I seem to recall someone point that out before and they called and they re-used the description from another can for this one or something like that but sure, I would verify. I wouldn't buy it if they changed to a sealed design.You have mentioned this before, but on their page that you link the description states:
The ThunderCan SAS MK9 Suppressor is our homage to the original, mixed with 21st century tech. Boasting a titanium tube with a proprietary sealed hybrid stainless steel and titanium core...
"Sealed" and "fully serviceable" don't usually go together. Is it possible they have made some changes since building your can? Or do they have some way to service the sealed portion of the can?
I will make sure to ask when Joe gets back to me about one. It seems that could take some time but when i do i will update this post so any others will be aware.I seem to recall someone point that out before and they called and they re-used the description from another can for this one or something like that but sure, I would verify.

Agreed or mk9 long and thick. I also have a Gemtech Raptor with 3lug. It was presented as smaller, state of the art blah blah blah. The Raptor (long and thin) isn’t even close to a mk9/mk9 for sound reduction, at least to my ear. It looks like a big needle on a syringe installed on the Uzi full size.Something about the UZI & MK9K/Phoenix is just unusually quiet. My vote will always be for short/fat suppressors on this platform.
What kind of accuracy are you getting from that setup?Bowers Vers9s 3 lug on my Uzi's and MP5. A great large volume can. They have the best customer service.
I have found some interesting experiences like that as well. It seems to be specific to individual gun/silencer combos. You might try changing your Uzi barrel and see if it makes a difference.What kind of accuracy are you getting from that setup?
I have a CAC9 with the UZI barrel nut mount and the accuracy is not great. There is a definite degradation of accuracy with the can on.
I originally bought the can to use on a 9mm MAC10 and it was fine on that gun.
+1. I remember back in the day when Gemtech was trying to convince me. They told me the MK9K had a deeper tone and lower frequencies travel further. Also that it is quieter to the shooter but not observers and I'm like I don't give a shit what it sounds like to other people. I'm buying the can for me not them.Agreed or mk9 long and thick.

FWIW, I have a VERS9s with barrel nut mount and the gun shoots the same with or without the van installed. Same story with that can on a 3-lug mount & barrel.
This looks like exactly what I’m going for. Now to find somebody selling a MK-9K can… and buy a trilug Uzi barrel!I'll stick with my MK-9K
