He told me in person that the 9 would supress subsonic loads in 300blk in a pistol. This was at the NRA hog roast at rousch. Wonder what changed?
I bet it is because they want you to use the Kestral 9 for it now.Was looking at huntertown arms website, I have a guardian 9 and noticed that they dropped the 300 blackout subsonic off the list of calibers it would handle. Anybody know why for sure?

Told me via email that it wouldn't handle my 9mm SBR, that was a year or so ago, at the time, the Kestrel wasn't available. Went with Octane 9 & no regrets
Hmmm, I'm waiting on a stamp for a Guardian 9 to use on an M&P9, AR in 9mm, and an SBR 300BLK subsonic.
It worked good on a pistol and did ok on the 300 sbr. I ended up ordering the Mystic it seems like a better all around can.Hmmm, I'm waiting on a stamp for a Guardian 9 to use on an M&P9, AR in 9mm, and an SBR 300BLK subsonic.
That's weird. I had contacted them about using my Guardian 9 for subsonic .308 and they said it was okay. I've used it for that and it's been completely fine (and very quiet). I don't know why .300 BLK would be any different.
Well, if there is a lot of concern about this, maybe I should get a 5/8x24 adapter for my Coastal Gun subgun can, and save the Guardian 9 for my pistols. Or maybe a 5/8x24 piston for my Osprey 45, since those are explicitly rated for .300 BLK subsonic.
I don't even think the kestral 7.62 is good at suppressing AK's like he claims. I almost pulled the trigger on one until the dealer straight up told me it wasn't hearing safe! WTF?! Why would I drop any money on a can that's not hearing safe? StupidHere is what the owner said concerning the Kestrel, I found it, it might explain why 300blk is different.
"Note: Full disclosure - I own Huntertown Arms and designed the Kestrel 7.62 AK silencer that is chock full of awesome when used as designed but doesn't do things it is not supposed to do very well, if at all.
You can't assume that subsonic ammunition is always (or ever) quieter than supersonic, regardless if whether a silencer is used or not.
Imagine a waterhose. If you turn it on with medium pressure, the stream of water stays together until gravity pulls it to the ground. Increase the pressure and the stream turns into a spray, with water droplets chaotically flailing about as soon as they leave the hose. If you placed a big cup right in front of the hose, the cup would capture more of the higher pressure spray than the stream. This is roughly the difference between super and sub sonic 300 Blackout. This is the best analogy I can come up with to explain the difference between supersonic and subsonic 300 Blackout. While this explaination is not entirely correct, it should give you a better idea of the principles than a bunch of math equations likely would.
Supersonic 300 Blackout fluiddynamics are similar to the 7.62x39 and not at all like subsonic 300 Blackout. The Kestrel 7.62 AK is designed for supersonic applications, and specifically for the AK platform shooting 7.62x39. That's what our website says. That's what our literature says. It will work with supersonic 300 Blackout because of the similarity to the 7.62x39. The Kestrel 7.62 AK is not a suitable subsonic 300 Blackout silencer, and we have never claimed it was. The blast chamber is too short to capture the explosive gases traveling tightly at slow speeds. The Kestrel 7.62 AK is great at what it does - suppressing AK47s shooting 7.62x39. That's it. It's not a multi-caliber, do-all silencer. It is the first application-specific silencer we designed and released. We've sold well over 1,000 of them in the past year, and have had a single complaint.
The Kestrel .308 is a superior silencer for subsonic application because of the extended blast chamber size and additional baffles. IT also works better with .308, because it has more volume to capture the additional hot gases generated."
There are a ton of options, I would seriously just contact HTA, it can't be that difficult to email, mail or call them and get a straight answer. Once you have that, you'll know for sure and can then take the necessary steps moving forward.
Wow really?.
If you think it sucks as a customer, they really don't care for you as a dealer. They won't respond to emails or calls... forget/refuse to file form 3s... It's a joke. Then they call and ask if you've seen their new Dolos system. WGAFF! Where are the cans I ordered 9 months ago??
