Thunder Beast FLY 9 Ultra-Light Pistol Suppressor

46700004286

The FLY 9 was developed with the same philosophy as the ULTRA series-- make a high-performance suppressor as light and compact as possible. The result is impressive, but requires some in depth discussion to really understand.

The FLY 9 is configurable in two lengths: Long and Short. Our "Long" length is shorter than everyone else's modular suppressor's "Long" configuration, but just as quiet (and often quieter) than the best in this class. Our Long configuration is lighter by at least 20%, in many cases 35% or even 50%, than other full-size 9mm suppressors. It weighs only 7.9 ounces in Long configuration, and that includes the booster, piston, and spring. Our "Long" configuration at 7.0 inches is the same length or shorter than many others' "Short" setups, but quieter.

In its "Short" configuration, it's simply shorter and lighter than anything else out there. Including the piston, it's at 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). This is truly a "handy" length, and with "low-blast-subsonic" ammo such as "HUSH" or "STELTH", the muzzle and ear dB levels are under 140 dB!

To put it a different way, do you hate that 9mm cans almost always sound louder than you want them to? And that they're huge? This one will change your mind. At its "full size", it's only 7" long and adds about 6.6" to your OAL. In Short Mode, it's tiny.

The FLY 9 is rated for .300 Blackout SUPERSONIC ammunition from 8-inch and longer barrels, and .300 Blackout SUBSONIC ammunition from 5.5-inch barrels and longer. The FLY 9 is also rated for 350 LEGEND from 16" barrels and longer.

The FLY 9 is strong. Our 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. We torture tested this for 30 cycles and the suppressor was perfect afterwards. After some consultation, we believe this exceeds all PCC/Subgun loadouts.

The FLY 9 ships with a 1/2-28 piston and a fixed barrel spacer (spring replacement). For high temperature durability, we are using specially-made 17-7 wave springs in the booster. It is compatible with the Rugged/Griffin/SilencerCo/TBAC standard pistons.

Cleaning Notes:
Because it's all titanium, the FLY9 can be very effectively cleaned chemically with CLR. We recommend weighing them every 500 rounds. At this point, if the weight added due to deposited carbon exceeds 1 ounce, we recommend using our cleaning procedure until the suppressor is back to its orginal weight. Remove the o-rings, booster, booster cap, piston, and spring before soaking.

Please Note:
The thermal input will be higher with shorter barrels. Ultra series suppressors should be kept under 800 degrees F.
The second-generation 338 ULTRA ("Gen2") superseded the original model January 2022. The Gen2 is quieter than the original version by about 3 dB. Gen2 338 Ultras can be identified by serial numbers that are higher than E10000.

Q: What does a supressor do; how does it work?
A: A suppressor is a muzzle device that works by dampening the gas that leaves the barrel after each shot. Inside the tube of the suppressor are rings, called baffles, that slow down the gas. When a round is fired normally, the gas leaves the barrel super hot and concentrated, creating a loud report. While a suppressor does reduce some of the sound and muzzle flash, it does not eliminate it completely.
