HTA 9mm Guardian.

[Laxguy59]

Okay so I got to hold the Huntertown Arms Guardian 9mm, and I have to say I was impressed.

Stainless steel baffles which protect the tube from lead(alot like the spectre)
User serviceable so you can shoot rimfire and lead cast
A seriously solid warranty
And a great price

Is there any real downside to this can?
- I know it can't take 3 lug, but I don't have or want 3 lug.

I'm really thinking about jumping on one I saw at a great price from a cool SOT.

Quick comparison:

HTA 9mm:
8.5" @ 10.2oz, and a slightly smaller than usual 1.25" diameter. (longest)
Stainless guts that protect tube, aluminum endcap, Not sure if stainless tube?
MSRP: $350

SWR Octane 9: (heaviest)
7.5" @ 10.78oz, the industry standard 1.375" diameter
Stainless guts that protect tube, aluminum tube
MSRP: $850

AAC Ti-rant 9: (longish, lightish)
7.9" @ 8.6oz, 1.38 diameter
Steel & aluminum baffles(tube not protected), Titanium tube(light, strong)
MSRP: $850

Osprey9: (Shortest, Lightest)
7" @ 9.8oz
All aluminum, not user servicable
MSRP: $850


Also saw the Stainless Steel HTA Guardian 22 and it was a nice can, could have had some better machining in a few spots, but nothing to fret over.

for the money I think its tough to beat.

are these made in any larger calibers?

Its a seriously great can. I sold my personal 9mm can and am using this one as a demo right now. It is very quiet and over 50% off all others. I see no downside to it unless you need 3 lug ability. I have all the fixed mounts in stock now.

You are right on the SS22 as well. May not be the shiniest baffles out there, but they work and are very affordable for an SS can.

They are coming out with a 45 version soon.


Also, I will meet or beat ANY quoted HTA price. I do a lot of business with those guys.

 

[abailey362]

any idea on price point for the 45 version?

 

[Quiet Riot Firearms]

They havent released pricing yet. But i would guess 50-100 more than the 9mm.

I think you may **** a brick if I told you the quoted price, which I'm not, but it's awesome.

As for the 22, the holes drilled into the side of each baffle has metal shavings still connected to the hole, I think i little file could easily remove them.

 

[Quiet Riot Firearms]

All mine have that. Most flake off. I take them all apart and inspect when I get them.

 

[b.a.customkydex]

Those metal shavings could be necessary to help disrupt the flow of air and in turn cause the can to be quieter

Any reason you didn't consider the Isis2 9mm from Thompson Machine?
