Maxim Defense MXM48216 MS-45 45 Cal 1.375" Black Aluminum/Stainless Steel

The Maxim Defense MS-45 is a modular 45 ACP suppressor built for shooters who value flexibility and control over their setup. Whether you're running it on a compact pistol, a full-size 1911, or a 45 ACP PCC (pistol caliber carbine), this suppressor adapts to your needs—no barrel length restrictions, no rate-of-fire limitations. The MS-45 ships with a .578 x 28 piston mount and lets you choose between a short configuration (6.53 inches, 10 oz) or a long configuration (8.64 inches, 12 oz) depending on whether you're prioritizing compact carry or maximum sound reduction.

Construction matters when you're investing in a suppressor, and Maxim Defense didn't cut corners. The core is 17-4 stainless steel with a 7075 aluminum tube, finished in hard DLC (Diamond-like coating) for durability and corrosion resistance. The real kicker: stainless steel baffles mean you can actually clean this thing without guilt. Unlike suppressors that discourage maintenance, the MS-45 disassembles easily with standard garage tools, so you can keep it running and performing long-term.

If you shoot 45 ACP across multiple platforms or simply prefer a suppressor that doesn't force you into one-trick-pony compromises, the MS-45's modularity and build quality make it worth the investment. It's the kind of tool that earns its place in a serious shooter's kit.
