Fast forward to November 2024 and Silencer Shop still lists the Vers9, but “out of stock”. So I emailed them asking when they might have more. Received a very terse reply stating they will not be receiving more. Don’t understand why they don’t just remove it from the catalog?My cheap ass will be running a YHM R9 on my Uzi bolt gun.
I wanted a Bowers VERS 9S, but Silencer Shop hasn't had any in quite a while.
It wouldn't surprise me if they don't sell all that well. That's not because they are a bad product, rather, they are a good product for a niche market. They are built to be true subgun cans, and there aren't that many subguns out there comparatively speaking. They are also durable and easy to repair, so once you have one, there is no need to buy a whole new one barring something catastrophic.Fast forward to November 2024 and Silencer Shop still lists the Vers9, but “out of stock”.

UPDATE
Bowers sent me a new mount and it seems to have solved the accuracy issues.
Bowers customer service is 2nd to none. I must have had him on the phone for an hour, he sent me a new $175 mount like it was nothing.
Good people.
I just picked up a Bowers Vers-45 for my UZI. Runs great in both 45acp and 9mm. I was happy with the performance. Quiet in both calibers. Has that old school look and design. You can disassemble it for cleaning. Just get an adjustable spanner wrench for the front cap.
I have a Shaw MK9, a CT45K from the Curtis days, and have done business with them. I also live not far from them and have personally interacted with the owner, Joe, and several other employees a number of times. They are good folks.Has anyone done business with Shaw Armament? I was looking for a Curtis Tactical can but they were bought by Shaw. According to the website, Joseph Jones, the owner of Curtis Tactical is still there and doing the design work. They list the MK9 but not the CT9S.
That is correctI believe Shaw's MK9 is the CT9KS rebranded.
I know the Vent 2 and the new CAT cans are the new hotness but unless suppressors are no longer regulated, I won't buy a non-serviceable SMG can. I know you have all these fancy cleaners but that doesn't help if the company goes out of business and you have a baffle strike. I can get a shop to re-make any component of these older coax cans no problem.If I needed another suppressor, I would go with a Shaw MK9 or a longer variant depending on application. Nothing sounds better to me than the coax design, although I haven't heard a PTR Vent 2 yet. The vent 2 is an interesting concept.
Old school thinking there Robert. I’m right with ya. Joe just jailbroke my AWC MK9.😊 lots of red loctite.I know the Vent 2 and the new CAT cans are the new hotness but unless suppressors are no longer regulated, I won't buy a non-serviceable SMG can.

I’ve been thinking of having him do the same for me and recore with his baffle stack.Old school thinking there Robert. I’m right with ya. Joe just jailbroke my AWC MK9.😊 lots of red loctite.
