I am looking for suggestions for QD mount and suppressor for AR 9mm. I am thinking maybe a dual use 9/45. Anybody have any favorites? I am going to have the QD pinned and welded.

Most suppressors for pistol cartridges direct mount onto barrel threads. I think CMMG makes a suppressor with a QD mount for PCC's but you wouldn't be able to use it on a pistol.

Mk9K if you can find one with 3 Lug.

How do you like it? I was thinking of getting one for an Uzi.

Silencerco Octane 45 HD has a variety of mounts available, including a 3-lug.

The cans with 3 lug are nice but the adaptors are pricey.
YHM has a 9MM QD can. Works the same way as their centerfire QD cans. Good mounting system.

KAW Valley adapters are under $40, which is a lot less than other places. No idea if they're decent or not.

LaRue makes the best mounts, but they are very expensive.
Edit: I misunderstood what type of QD Mount you were talking about. I thought you wanted the QD for an optic. I know nothing about suppressors.

The MK9K is a very nice can. I've heard it run on the Mac, Uzi, AR9, and MP5. If I didn't already have 10 other options for those host guns, I would buy one. Hell, I'd still buy one to have 11 options.

Would you choose it over the Mims?

I have the Griffin Armament Optimus with their Revolution 3-lug adapter. Recently they began shipping 9mm taper mount muzzle device and changed their pistol cans to accept their minimalist blast shield from the Optimus. It gets confusing and their site isn't always up to date but now you have the option of:

I am not a huge fan of suppressors. I have one other SMG suppressor thats smaller. It does not get used. I really like the Mk9k. Its shorter, as I really don't like long suppressors. Its fatter which is fine with me. I like the short fat, over the skinny long look. Its big enough to take Full Auto volume of fire and its as quiet as any. Its not super light or cutting edge but its a good solid suppressor. We have several in our club and everyone likes them. I would suggest it. Maybe also a Mossad II from Gemtech... but really about all I would suggest. For a SMG, I would not suggest a pistol can that can be made to fit.
Money is never really a factor at this level for me. I would save and get the one I wanted. As far as the Mims, if its the can I am thinking of, its huge! Very old school. Thats fine but I sure like the Mk9k over it.
The big problem is... can you find one to buy!?

EarnestT,
This is probably the most versatile suppressor for you to get since we're not dealing with full auto.
YHM is all class. Their cans work well, their mounting system is great, and their customer service is outstanding. Oh and their prices are pretty reasonable.
Also I have a Griffin Optimus that the OP (or anyone else) is welcome to try out or play with. I'm very happy with it.

Thats a fair point. A pistol can like this will work for semi. You want the extra volume of a SMG can if you are shooting FA.
Of course the down side to your "since we're not dealing with full auto" is the "yet" you forgot at the end. None of us were dealing with FA long before we were...
IMHO, 3 lug is the way to go, especially since . Would suggest using Rocksett to make sure the adapter stays in place (this is a common failure). If you are feeling like a tactical operator operating, you can get FHs and brakes for 3 lug.
As for a particular vendor, In Lead We Trust makes a VERY nice Navy-style adapter that works well with my Octane 9 and AAC FH. It is also nicely priced for what you get. The price differential over the cheaper ones is low enough that I think it's hard to justify going any other way, but YMMV.
I really like the MIMS. It has a different tone than the MK9k. The MK9K has a deeper tone. The MIMS is a little larger,can at 12" vs ~9". Hard to choose unless compared directly side by side. Bowers VERS9 and 9s are also nice cans with the 3 lug option. I've got a 9S. Another Nice can.
Also, Clyde moved from Georgia to Alaska land I believe gave up his SOT. So the MIMS is no longer available.

Thanks for all the responses. I am looking hard at YHM and the Griffin. Any other suggestions thanks in advance.
