Anyone suppress the Saint pistol yet?

A lot of newer handguard designs are "low profile".

Lightweight.

And a host of other adjectives to describe "smaller diameter".

They are not for anyone who plans to suppress a gun and cover the suppressor with the handguard.

You could always replace the barrel nut and handguard with one that will work though. And would be a lot cheaper to build your own altogether. You can build it to your spec for under $450 any day of the week and save the rest of your money for ammo or optic or put toward the can and the tax.

edit: most manufacturers frown on using their cans on barrels less than 10.5" due to the increased erosion the baffles see due to heat and unburned powder and the likes.
