This is what 6 months of waiting looks like

Innovative Arms 9mm suppressor on a Glock 19. Ammo pictured is Fiocchi 158gr subsonic, which made for some very quiet test shots in my backyard earlier. Completely hearing safe; no ringing, no nothing. I've slammed doors louder. When it gets broken in (500rds or so) it'll be slightly more muffled. This can is approved to run wet for further noise dampening.

If you dont mind me asking, when its all said and done. How much $$$ did you spend to be able to get the silencer?

The suppressor was $600, the tax stamp was $200. The cost of the threaded barrel inflates the price, but the brand will vary the price of that.

You have to attach 2 passport photos to your Form 4s, along with 2 fingerprint cards. Both of those things cost me roughly $40.

So, around $840 without counting the threaded barrel and the host weapon.

How's the balance and sight aiming with the Innovative Arms 9mm (was it the Lex?)

11B3XCIB · Aug 6, 2012

The Lex (you are correct) is light and is balanced very well by the Glock 19 host. I imagine an even heavier 9mm would notice it even less, and I don't really acknowledge a difference with the can mounted.

The factory sights come up just to the edge of the suppressor, so I just brought 12 o'clock at the very peak of the can an up to center mass and it was dead on. The suppressor has a post built into it before the baffles that catches one of four positions that the booster can be set at. Picture the different positions at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. You can manually adjust the suppressor so your point of aim matches point of impact at whichever "clock" position. I can post photos later tonight so that will make sense.
