The AAC Ti-RANT 9M-HD is preceded in development, design, and distribution by two legacy models; the AAC Ti-RANT 9M (2017) and the original AAC Ti-RANT 9 (circa 2009). At the time of distribution, the original Ti-RANT 9 was colloquially referred to as the “quietest 9mm centerfire pistol silencer” available. The publication of this case study in the Silencer Sound Standard research pedigree, by PEW Science, is intended to recognize the historical significance of the Ti-RANT 9 family of silencers and to provide a state-of-the-art performance evaluation of the models on a modern host firearm.

In this review, all AAC Ti-RANT 9 variant performance metrics depend upon suppressing a full-size handgun firing a full-power subsonic centerfire pistol cartridge. How would any AAC Ti-RANT 9 silencer perform on your self-defense handgun?
