Thanks, Adam, we appreciate all that work. Thanks also for making the time to explain the technical differences between this can and more typical examples. You do good work. I'll be getting one of those loaders you showed and will have it at your Leesburg shoot, assuming it works as well for the Glock 21 we use to demo the Asp .45 can. If people are really nice like last time, we might even let them load mags with that magical device. -Tom
Been following Bowers for a while... definitely liking this whole set up specially since I have .45, 40 and 9mm. Thank you for the opportunity and all the information given in your video.
Same it was a day full of firsts for me but the I never even knew you could run a pistol can without a booster so that was pretty cool. It is really light. The Bowers .458 can was my favorite item of theirs though.
Solid work on the review (minus the 9mm mishap!) and kudos to Bowers for their generosity! I don’t have a 45 currently but I’ll be “forced” to buy one if I get this can because of how nice it sounds! I’ll of course still run it on my 9 as well. Thanks
Another informative video on how a suppressor works and explaining the differences in booster & fixed mounts. Thanks again NFA Review Channel for the dedication & hard work of your videos. Thanks BowersGroupLLC for the chance to win!
Ive been interested in Bowers cans since seeing them on Mrgunsandgear channel. This looks like a sweet option. So many suppressors are so long and heavy. Thanks for supporting the 2a Bowers. Great company, great people.
Damn! That would be fun to shoot. I saw another guy shooting one at the range, and couldn't believe how well it works. I need to get a threaded barrel for my 1911...
I really like Bowers line up at the first NFA Expo..It was one of those moments where unfortunately I couldn't walk away with one after trying it out. The fit and finish is excellent. I joked with one of the representatives from Bowers, mentioning that there was "wow factor" in a can... adding they could use that for free lol.. looking at a VERS 9 to accommodate my FHB9 which works great on my Kriss Vector 9mm.
Loved this can at the expo the bowers guys were great , looking forward to the next event in April. As for the video I think the 1911 ran the quietest hand down at least for the 45 acp
Nice versatile Can. I have a Thompson Machine Posiedon on my 220 for a nightstand gun (and I like it for it's purpose), the Bower's looks like a more practical suppressor. Nice they include all the adapters! Did you find that while shooting it wet that it would get noticeably louder, or just a bit?
5oz is incredibly light and yes you should have had some 115 grain roll'n around in that truck somewhere. Thank you for using your qc10, I do believe I've found the right can for that!
Awesome looking can. Thanks for the info about how to properly use the wire pulling gel; I understood you put it in the can but didn't realize there's a "right way"
I like the thread adapter concept - coming off of a can where I've got to swap pistons to mount it to whatever host I'm using that day (13.5x1LH, 1/2x28, 3-lug), not having to fight to get the piston back in after a swap is a pretty appealing concept. Hopefully they have some 13.5 adapters in the pipe if they're not there already.
@Valk There are 11 ATAS(TM) inserts available. The ones that are geared toward the ASP are in the following thread pitches: M16x1LH, M16x1RH, M13.5x1LH, .578x28, 9/16x24, 5/8x24 and 1/2x28. The ASP isn't designed to accept our Vers 3 Lug mount, that is one of the non-standard Versadapt(TM) thread adapting inserts for use with our Vers series of subgun/carbine suppressors. - dorothy
Off the topic of the can, what’s the quality of the speed loader? Is it pretty solid in its construction? Will the rails hold up or do you think they’ll wear down and have issues properly sliding onto the rounds?
Sounds good might look at this for My next Can. My rugged obsidian 9 came in a few days ago. Haven't seen anyone run 300blk through it yet. Would like to know what it would sound like. Can't find fix spacers. They are sold out.
Thanks for this grate info videos ,this Asp45 will be perfect for my Ar45 carbin ,this Chanel help me understand how Silenser work and how to buy them.thanks Adam.
So you can run it wet or dry? Thanks for the very informative video. I've been on the fence about buying a suppressor but it's awesome you can switch it from host to host!
While you can run it wet or dry, it's a wet-only can when used on pistols. Carbines are significantly quieter to start with, thus it can be effective on them when used dry. -Tom
Any concerns about durability? Sounds like all the baffles are aluminum. I know we are only talking about pistol rounds, but I’d be curious to hear if you think the can is fragile.
Hi Tom @BowersGroupLLC, I appreciate your response, but could you add any other details? Most other manufacturers use a steel blast baffle, even on their pistol cans. Are they unnecessary? Is your aluminum a different alloy? Not trying to give you a hard time, I’m honestly just curious and leaving the door open for you to sell us on why your van is different! Thanks!
Looks like a sweet can. Does it work very well with 9mm? I would love to suppress my Glock 19 and CZ Scorpion, swapping the can between them as needed. Lightweight is a factor in my selection, and adaptability between calibers would be cool.

This will be my first suppressor. Hopefully my Reps in congress will listen to me and my child can enjoy the same rights their Dad does.
Been following Bowers for a while... definitely liking this whole set up specially since I have .45, 40 and 9mm. Thank you for the opportunity and all the information given in your video.
Absolutely loved this can at the event in December! I agree it’s crazy light weight and does a great job on suppression.
Same it was a day full of firsts for me but the I never even knew you could run a pistol can without a booster so that was pretty cool. It is really light. The Bowers .458 can was my favorite item of theirs though.
Can't believe how lite this 45 can is!
Solid work on the review (minus the 9mm mishap!) and kudos to Bowers for their generosity! I don’t have a 45 currently but I’ll be “forced” to buy one if I get this can because of how nice it sounds! I’ll of course still run it on my 9 as well. Thanks

I had no idea what a boostered or boosterless suppressor was, pretty awesome that this one isn't boostered.
Yeah, I picked that thing up too and it really was light as a feather. I enjoyed talking with the folks from Bower too.
Great video. Think it's one of your best suppressor info videos.
Damn! That would be fun to shoot. I saw another guy shooting one at the range, and couldn't believe how well it works. I need to get a threaded barrel for my 1911...
Awesome video, man! The dry vs. wet explanation helped a lot.

Have a version 50 need this one to
Love your reviews, always look forward to seeing what you are reviewing next!
Awesome review as always. Nice seeing the PC carbine run suppressed.
That was actually pretty informative. Plus I really like the whole setup.
Starting with the ETS cam loader and finishing with the ideal can for my pistols - Thanks to NFA Channel and Bowers for the chance
Bowers awesome can!!! Have one on my 1911 , love it...thanks for the review..
This thing sounds perfect for a shorty carbine! Love this channel and everything you do. Keep it up.
So excited for a lightweight do it all champ. I need this in my life. Seriously
Sweet can. Is there a POI shift with the ASP45?
It sounded amazing on your 1911, but it's right at home on that Ruger also
Loved this can at the expo the bowers guys were great , looking forward to the next event in April. As for the video I think the 1911 ran the quietest hand down at least for the 45 acp

5 ounces? That’s impressive
Love it I've been eyeing Bower's for a 22 can
Sounds awesome, this would be a great addition to my 1911!
5oz is incredibly light and yes you should have had some 115 grain roll'n around in that truck somewhere. Thank you for using your qc10, I do believe I've found the right can for that!
Will this handle 300 BO suppressed? Want to get my first suppressor and if it can handle 300, 45 and 9mm it would be perfect.
It's fine for *subsonic* 300 Blackout. -Tom
So, is this can hearing safe dry? I know its designed to be fired wet.
Awesome looking can. Thanks for the info about how to properly use the wire pulling gel; I understood you put it in the can but didn't realize there's a "right way"
Man that’s quiet!! I love those adapters too. Bowers makes some great stuff. Aluminum and 5oz yes please!!!

Hopefully they have some 13.5 adapters in the pipe if they're not there already.
Side note - I've got no experience with the 147 gr HUSH ammo; is it lower-powered than standard 147 gr subsonic offerings from Federal and Speer?

Bowers created a nice light well rounded can that will perform well on a multitude of hosts.

I loved the information in this video. I learned a lot. Sounds like a great little can for my hk45t
Sounds good might look at this for My next Can. My rugged obsidian 9 came in a few days ago. Haven't seen anyone run 300blk through it yet. Would like to know what it would sound like. Can't find fix spacers. They are sold out.

Sweet looking AND performing .45 suppressor!
I like that it's so light and runs without boosters! I would love to own one of these!
Can you run .300 Blk subsonic through it? I've got an 8" pistol I'd love to try it on.
*Subsonic* .300 BLK is fine through the ASP .45.
So the hk45 compact should be able to run this can like it does on the usp rite?
What an awesome can! Looks like I may have to add this one to my collection.
Very cool can! Sounds awesome!
Ok I wanted one before now I really want one on my USP 45.
Do you prefer to suppress 9mm or 45? Which is quieter?
I'll need to go buy some threaded barrels now!
Iv shot every Can they brought to the expo and are amazing, super light and work great I even bought their 458 can
I need this! 5oz on my Para 45 would be so sweet!
So you can run it wet or dry? Thanks for the very informative video. I've been on the fence about buying a suppressor but it's awesome you can switch it from host to host!
While you can run it wet or dry, it's a wet-only can when used on pistols. Carbines are significantly quieter to start with, thus it can be effective on them when used dry. -Tom
Great video thanks for posting.
Nice review. Love the can. It's great that they're giving one away.
Would love this can for 45
Love the suppressor. Still need to get me one! Got my fingers crossed for this one. Keep up the good work!
Would love to have a can like that!
Nice and light, perfect for a light carbine.
This seems like a solid choice for the 45 heavy folks like you said. I appreciate the in depth explanation on the boosters.
Nice and light, perfect!
Any concerns about durability? Sounds like all the baffles are aluminum. I know we are only talking about pistol rounds, but I’d be curious to hear if you think the can is fragile.
No. -Tom

We're friendly, so feel free to give us a call and we can cover a lot more ground efficiently. 503-992-8697 (Pacific Time Zone). -Tom
I own 3 suppressors already, a .45
Is next on the list for sure. Nice job.
Looks like a sweet can. Does it work very well with 9mm? I would love to suppress my Glock 19 and CZ Scorpion, swapping the can between them as needed. Lightweight is a factor in my selection, and adaptability between calibers would be cool.
Seems to be a better option than the Abraxas. Does it handle 300 blackout subsonics?
Yes, OK for the subsonics, but only the subsonics. -Tom
Awesome thanks guys
pretty cool light weight suppressor and good explanation of wet vs dry shooting.
¿This could be my first can? ¡Florida loves BOWERS!
One question. How does it hold up to gas etching being it's 7075 and not titanium or steel?
How does this compare to the Liberty Cosmic
My 1911 needs this can!
That’s a badass kit.
Absolutely LOVE Bowers suppressors! My Vers 9s needs a big brother!
Is it user serviceable?
Wow nice vid! I'm gonna search a little bit more about this suppressor because it's nice and affordable
I've been a fan of Bowers for a long time. This would be a great can for my 1911s.
Dang, that is a light can!
Bowers definitely has some awesome cans!
Im really liking the concept of a pstol can without a booster
direct thread option on a pistol can is nice, cuts off a few ounces hanging at the end
nice silencer. it will fit on my USP 45 Tactical
Damn that thing looks pretty impressive.
5oz is pretty light, makes me wanna try it on a few different 45s to see how a lack of a booster effects performance.
it weighs less than a cellphone?! Thats gotta be awesome considering it hangs off the end of the barrel.
Another excellent review!! Thanks!!
Interesting alternative. Great for fixed barrel options like pcc.
Great work as usual!
Stay in the fight. I plan to enter the silent fight. The Bowers is a heck of a way to break the silence.
Can sounds great and you gotta love that loader!
Wow that is a pretty quiet can, love to try one on a scorpion s1!
This looks awesome, may have to be my next can!
I like that it is simple. Awesome can.
Looks awesome. Love to win it.
Beautiful Chevy in the background! Oh yeah, the can too. It's cool that it is boosterless, definitely great benefits!
Great to see another awesome review and giveaway!
great products all around, thank you
Great video, and review.
That would make a great first suppressor. I need one!!!
5 0Z is super light my other suppressor baffles are 5 oz by themselves i need this can for my usp.
Thanks!
Good stuff brother!
