The FLY 9 is configurable in two lengths: Long and Short. The Long configuration is lighter by at least 20%, in many cases 35% or even 50%, than other full-size 9mm suppressors. It measures at 7 inches and weighs only 7.9 ounces in the Long configuration, including the booster, piston, and spring. In the Short configuration, it’s simply shorter and lighter than anything else out there. Including the piston, it’s 4.4″, which will typically add about 4.0″ to the OAL of the pistol. It weighs only 5.5 ounces, and that includes a 17-4 steel piston (1/2-28 for weight reference). The FLY 9 is strong. TBAC’s test regimen was three 32-round Glock magazines fired from a select-fire subgun: the first two mags bursts, and the last mag full auto. The Fly 9was torture tested for 30 cycles and the suppressor was perfect afterwards.

The Fly 9 suppressor will be rated for .300 Blackout supersonic ammunition from 8″ or longer barrels or subsonic .300 Blackout ammunition with a minimum barrel length of 5.5.” The suppressor is also rated for the straight-walled hunting-oriented .350 Legend cartridge from 16″ barrels or longer. The Fly 9 suppressor will come standard with a 1/2-28 TIP piston, fixed barrel spacer, hi-temp Cerkote finish, and can be readily converted to work with a wide variety of thread adapters including Rugged, SilencerCo, and others threaded 1.125″x28. The suppressor has an overall width of 1.39 inches which means it should be able to be tucked underneath most standard handguards without issue and should also be compatible with most suppressor height sights or red-dot equipped pistols.

    First line says it's a 30 cal suppressor. It's a 9mm.

    Also wasn't this announced in January and released in June?

    Price is practically the last consideration on NFA purchases, but TBAC prices their cans very aggressively!

    The can looks good, but is it worth twice as much as an Omega 9k or 50% more than a Wolfman? Probably not to most people.

      @Tonka Or Obsidian 9/45. Not that the Omega 9k isn't nice, but in terms of caliber similarities that the can, can handle and closer in weight. You've gotta want to shed those 3-4oz really, really bad to spend 2x as much.
