Gemtech Aurora II
The Gemtech Aurora II is an ultra-compact 9mm wipe-type suppressor — the smallest and lightest can on the market for 9mm applications, originally designed as the "Fighter Pilot's favorite" for military and government use. It is threaded on both ends, making it compatible with both metric (M13.5×1LH) and standard (1/2×28) thread pitches. At just 3.5 oz, it does not require a Nielsen booster device. Internals consist of 8 neoprene wipes and 3 petroleum jelly-filled spacer baffles. MSRP: $399. Important: wipes must be replaced by Gemtech per ATF regulations (BATFE considers wipes to be suppressor parts); Gemtech offers repacking for $29.99. Not compatible with hollow point or expanding ammunition.

Key Features
Smallest, lightest 9mm suppressor on the market — 3.3" and 3.5 oz; no Nielsen device required
Bidirectional threading: compatible with both metric M13.5×1LH and standard 1/2×28 hosts — covers virtually any 9mm threaded barrel

FMJ only — hollow point or expanding ammunition can cause catastrophic damage to the suppressor
Full-auto rated — ideal for military/government 9mm applications where size and weight are paramount
