Most Helpful Positive Review MI Blast Can (will fit 9mm!!)
Tight fit under my Foxtrot Mike's handguard but man does it look great! I won't be using those front M-lok slots due to the tight fit but that's fine with me. I was a bit worried this would need bored out to pass a 9mm round but I read somewhere that it was big enough to handle the larger diameter round. The can part itself is just under 2.75" in case anyone's wondering. The machining and finish are very well done on this thing. The 1/2"×28 threads on my CMMG Guard barrel made it a little harder to find a muzzle device as most 9mm PCCs are 1/2"×36 but I'm very impressed with this piece!

Highly Effective

by lowelife, Verified Owner from VA, United States Written on July 25, 2025
Originally wanted the MWI Blast Diverter based on length but is was backordered. Opted for the Blast Can and could not be happier. Compared to a typical MD such as a bird cage on an AR pistol this provides a night and day difference of percussion, blast sound, and gas sending all down range. Now, its loud down range but for the shooter and those along the line this is a game changer.

Saves hear to those on either side of you.....

by Dave, Verified Owner from MA, United States Written on March 7, 2025
Excellent design, finsish. Great for the range to reduce the muzzle blast to any spectators or shooters at the range. This particular model also works with 9mm carbine rifles, per the manufacturer. Though not stated here at OP.
Pros:
  • Functional
  • Design & ruggedness
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Rifles
  • .223/5.56mm, 9mm
  • PCC Carbines with 1/2 x 28 threads

Very cool-looking thread protector

by BIGJMO, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on July 28, 2024
It also nicely "extends" the look of a fluted barrel. I don't think it changes the recoil any, but it does direct the gas forward, making shooting prairie dogs next to your buddy more pleasant.

Blast can for the win

by Jeffrey Glass, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on June 9, 2024

Pros:
  • cost

  • None

Quality product.

by Ol Silverado, from ID, United States Written on March 17, 2024
Put one on my ruger PC9 and my AR. Definitely a good choice if your aim is to keep the fireball and muzzle blast directed down range and towards the target.
Pros:
  • redirects concussion forward
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Redirecting concussion and muzzle blast down range towards target

Nice Can for the price

by Hawk, from WV, United States Written on December 28, 2020
Have 2 of these. One on my 5.56 and one on a 9mm build. Works great and looks great. I have shorter barrels and longer handguards on my guns. This can sticks out the end of my handguards and gives my guns a really good look.
Pros:
  • Price and Looks
Cons:
  • None

Great tool

by Vin D, Verified Owner from WA, United States Written on August 21, 2020
The build quality of this item is great. I like that it has the grooves on the outside that makes it easier grasp and tighten down. You can also use a wrench to tighten as well. What I really like is that the inside of the tube is tapered rather than just a straight open tube. The slots in the very front I think could be for using a straight edge item to tighten or loosen as well, such as the back side of a knife.

Heavy but made well

by Ricky Barnwartz, from TX, United States Written on April 26, 2020
Decent price and does the job well. It’s heavy if that’s a concern as it may negatively impact the balance of an AR-15 pistol. Installation was easy, just take your time and use the proper tools. Gorilla tape helped me not to scratch the blast can.
Would recommend: Yes

Excellent!

by M, from VA, United States Written on January 13, 2020
Ordered this for my 8.1” pistol build and it is fantastic for directing that brain jarring concussion from the short barrel. Finish is great, figment was perfect and it looks mean. The shooters next to you will thank you as well!
