Details:
If you like the tucked, suppressed profile on a PCC but don’t want the added weight, expense, or legal complications, the Spike’s Tactical Fake Can CAR9 gives you the visual effect without changing how your rifle functions. It’s a non-functional, non-NFA muzzle device that threads on like a standard accessory and exists purely to give a 9mm AR that clean “can” silhouette.
Designed to Clean Up Short-Barrel Builds
On AR9 pistols and compact PCCs, exposed threads and short muzzle devices can make the front end look unfinished—especially when you’re running a longer handguard. The CAR9 slips over the barrel and extends past the muzzle, filling that visual gap and creating a more balanced look. It pairs well with slim rails and tucked-barrel setups where you want the rifle to look complete without adding a real suppressor.
Cosmetic by Design, No Performance Side Effects
This is not a compensator, flash hider, or blast device in the performance sense. The CAR9 is machined from aluminum and finished in black, and it’s meant to stay out of the way mechanically. It won’t reduce recoil, change backpressure, or alter sound signature. What it can do is protect the muzzle threads and help keep muzzle blast forward of the handguard area, which is a nice bonus on tight, compact builds.
Simple Installation, No Timing Required
Installation is straightforward: thread it on, snug it down, and you’re done. No timing, no shims, and no adjustments. Since it isn’t designed to vent gas sideways like a brake, it’s also a range-friendly option that avoids the harsh side concussion some muzzle devices produce.
A Clean Look for AR9 Owners Who Want Simplicity
If your goal is a suppressed-style appearance on an AR9 without the extra weight or complexity, the Spike’s Tactical Fake Can CAR9 is an easy way to get there. It keeps the build looking streamlined and intentional while leaving the rifle’s handling and reliability exactly as they are.
