I am thinking about getting a 45 Cal suppressor. Does anyone have suggestions or opinions on what would be best for less then $800.00. I want to use it on a 45 and a 9mm.
Thanks
Thom

I'll second this. Great suppressor and SiCo parts and adapters are usually in stock.

I have an Octane 45, and Octane 9 and a TiRant 9. Based on comparisons between the two 9mm cans and my experience with the Octane 45, I would not recommend it. Between the TiRant and the Octane 9mm's, the TiRant is lighter, quieter and has noticeably less blowback/back pressure. When shooting pistol, excessive blowback means crap gets sprayed back in your face. It's barely noticeable when shooting the TiRant, very noticeable with the Octane. My Octane 9 now lives full time on a 9mm AR. I will probably eventually get one of the modular TiRant 45s, and retire the Octane 45 to a PCC as well. In my opinion, the only advantage the Octane has is easier cleaning due to all steel baffles. Not a big deal unless you shoot cast bullets or use it on a 22lr.

I have a SiCo Osprey45 and it's nice and light and quiet. Haven't shot it next to any other 45 cans, but I can easily shoot it without earpro

I have a few different cans, but one that works pretty well at a good price point is the YHM Sidewinder .45, picked one up for under $500 (not including $200 tax stamp). It's hearing safe and haven't needed ear plugs when firing.

Osprey 45 is my go to. It will work on a 9mm with a quick piston swap.

Osprey is pretty nice. I have only used it on 9mm so far.
The shape allows use of some OEM height sights.

Have shot a friends Silencerco Hybrid can and it sounded great. Not to mention the caliber modularity(my word). I also like the secure mounts that it uses. Plus if you ever use it for 300blk you are not limited to subsonic rounds only, the Octane cans are.

Another thumbs up for Osprey 45 for 9mm and 45.
