Based on the serial number, my can is probably from the first production run of .45 caliber silencers. I bought it around 10 years ago (I just checked my paperwork. I started the transfer from the dealer to me in Apr. 2000 and it seems like the transfer to the dealer took around 3 months.)

After I'd sold off my MAC10/45, I emailed Tom about swapping out the original thread mount for a 1/2-28 mount, since I no longer had anything in .45 to use the can with. At the time, he told me about the interchangeable system he had in the works and suggested I hold off for a few months until it was ready.

Before that, I had used a number of thread adapters so I could mount the can on a variety of guns. The problem here though, is that you are still threading to the coarse MAC threads. The adapter can work loose from these threads as easily as when the can is mounted directly on them. You still have to watch for this. The new mounting system completely does away with this. If the can starts to work loose, the fine threads still keep it in alignment with the barrel. With the coarse MAC threads, you could almost guarantee getting a baffle strike if the can loosened the least bit.

Being forewarned, I was probably one of the first to send in my can for the upgrade. Tom went through the entire can and replaced everything except the original tube. The new baffles are of a different design than those from 10 years ago, and they seem to give a little better sound reduction.

I've currently got mounts in 1/2-28, 5/8-24, and the Uzi barrel nut mount. For whatever reason, that can really shines on the Uzi. The Trident-9 sounds better on every other host that I've used, including on the .300 Whisper, but the CAC45 sounds just as good as the Trident on the Uzi for some reason.
