Griffin Armament has built a reputation for making fantastic suppressors and their Revolution 9 is best of the breed. For those who don’t care for or require the modular design of the Revolution, and want to save a few bucks along the way, the Griffin Armament Resistance 9 is an excellent choice.

Manufacturer claims 31.5 DB sound reduction. The Resistance 9 is built on a 7075 T6 aluminum tube with 17-4 stainless steel anti-rotation baffles. Length is 6.7 inches. Full specs here.
One school of thought is that most shooters only needs three suppressors. A .45 pistol suppressor with a 9mm piston, .30 caliber suppressor with appropriate thread adapters, and a rimfire can. This is certainly the path I took and I routinely run my AAC Ti-Rant 45 on various 9mm hosts. That said, more is always better and a dedicated 5.56 or 9mm suppressor is nice to have.
This particular Resistance 9 was a demo unit from the Silencer Shop. When testing any suppressor that disassembles, I always take it apart – for a couple of reasons. First, so that I can share a photo of the components including the baffle stack. Second, so that I can report first-hand my experience. Does it require a specialized tool? How tight or loose are the tolerances? How do the baffles reassemble? In this case, I started down that path but stopped when I saw how coked up the baffles were. No telling how many rounds this demo can has seen.

The Griffin Armament Resistance 9 ships with the standard 1/2 X 28 piston, Armorer Wrench, and end-cap hex tool. The suppressor is user-serviceable.
Finish is the standard Mil-Spec Type III Hardcoat Anodize Black. Fit and finish are typical of silencers in this class.
I ran the Resistance 9 on my M&P Pro. A decibel meter wasn’t available but no matter. At this point in my experience, the raw db levels don’t seem to make much difference to my ear. I can’t tell the difference in 1-2 decibels in the real world. The suppressor performed as expected and was pleasant to shoot without ear pro.
