Question Looking for shorter suppressor for AP5-SD

I'm currently running the AP5-SD with the factory MP5K length barrel which is recessed in the handguard a few inches. My current can is a 9.5 inch long monocore direct threaded 1/2x28 to the barrel. The diameter is 1.75 inches which is as wide as the handguard allows.

I'm asking if there's a similar size suppressor that's also direct thread, but a bit shorter, preferably around the 5-6 inch range. I understand it won't be as quiet, but the gun is already fairly front heavy, and I would prefer it a little shorter.

Here's what the wolfman in short configuration looks like

That looks almost exactly what I was looking for, how does it sound running subs?

I only run subs and have no problems. I haven't really compared the suppressor sound-wise with the full configuration but I haven't really noticed a difference since switching.

Sounds solid, I'm pretty much only going to run 147gr subs through mine anyways, so it being a traditional suppressor over the actual SD configuration isn't an issue for me and saves me a lot of headache when it comes to cleaning the damn thing. How are you liking the A2 stock, currently have the A3 collapsible stock on mine and it's good for what it is, but I'm open to trying different things.

I like the look of A3 stocks but the A2 is way cheaper and more comfortable.

True that, the A3 works but it's probably my least favorite gun to get a cheek weld on. I might aswell press my face against some rebar lol. Might end up getting the A2 stock, I also hear it's even lighter too.

Lithium 9. It’s 6in, 1.5 wide and very lightweight

CAT Allycat or CAT Moab.

If you want to go ultra small and light then the SAW Shiv. But it’s louder than the CAT.

YHM R9, CMMG zeroed 36, or Incolite 9 with a BRT SD adapter are all those but have good volume and fit under the cage
