HUXWRX Unveils FLOW 45 M, the Lightest Modular .45 Suppressor, at SHOT Show 2026
HUXWRX Safety Co. has officially announced the launch of the FLOW 45 M, a next-generation modular suppressor designed to redefine performance, safety, and adaptability in the .45-caliber category. Making its debut at SHOT Show 2026 at Booth No. 13454, the FLOW 45 M is positioned as the lightest two-piece modular .45 suppressor currently available on the market, setting a new benchmark for modern suppressor design.
A New Standard in Safety, Versatility, and Performance
At the core of the FLOW 45 M is HUXWRX’s patented Flow-Through Technology, paired with a two-piece modular architecture and ultra-lightweight titanium construction. This advanced combination allows the suppressor to deliver superior safety and reliability while maintaining exceptional adaptability across a wide range of firearm platforms.
Engineered for shooters who demand consistent performance without compromise, the FLOW 45 M is optimized for modern multi-platform use, ensuring dependable operation whether deployed for professional duty, training, or recreational shooting.
Multi-Platform Adaptability for Modern Firearms
The FLOW 45 M is designed to perform seamlessly across handguns, pistol-caliber carbines (PCCs), and rifles chambered in .45 caliber and below. Its modular design enables users to quickly adapt the suppressor to changing mission requirements, environments, or weapon systems without sacrificing performance.
Whether mounted on a handgun for personal defense, a PCC for range or tactical use, or a rifle platform for specialized applications, the FLOW 45 M delivers consistent suppression and reliability across platforms.
Industry-Leading Lightweight Design
One of the standout features of the FLOW 45 M is its industry-leading weight reduction. In its full-length configuration, the suppressor weighs just 7.4 ounces, while the compact K configuration reduces weight even further to 5.4 ounces. For handgun use, the included booster assembly adds 2.3 ounces, optimizing function while maintaining overall balance.
This lightweight construction significantly reduces shooter fatigue and improves handling, making the FLOW 45 M an ideal choice for extended shooting sessions and dynamic transitions between firearms.
Flow-Through Technology: Redefining Gas Management
According to Darrell Morrow, Senior Vice President of Commercial and Law Enforcement Sales at HUXWRX, the company’s Flow-Through Technology fundamentally changes how suppressors manage gas.
Rather than redirecting gas backward toward the shooter, Flow-Through Technology channels gases forward through the suppressor. This innovative approach dramatically reduces blowback, minimizes shooter exposure to harmful gases and toxins, and preserves the firearm’s natural cycling and reliability. Importantly, this is achieved without the need for tuning, adjustable gas systems, or specialized modifications.
Optimized for Extended and Dynamic Use
As a cornerstone of the HUXWRX product lineup, Flow-Through Technology enables longer shooting sessions with reduced discomfort and improved firearm performance. By lowering back pressure and toxic blowback, the FLOW 45 M supports rapid platform changes and sustained use, making it well suited for both professional operators and civilian enthusiasts.
Advanced Materials and Modular Configuration
The FLOW 45 M is manufactured using 3D-printed Grade 23 titanium, a material chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and durability. This advanced manufacturing process allows for precise internal geometries that maximize gas flow efficiency while keeping weight to a minimum.
Users can configure the suppressor in full-length mode for maximum sound suppression or quickly convert it to the compact K configuration when speed, maneuverability, and reduced length are priorities.
Flexible and Comprehensive Mounting Options
To ensure broad compatibility, the FLOW 45 M supports multiple mounting solutions, including:
- Pistol mounts
- Mini stiction mounts
- Direct-thread adapters
- 3-lug adapters
This flexibility allows seamless integration with handguns, PCCs, lever-action firearms, and other supported platforms, giving users confidence that the suppressor can adapt to virtually any setup.
Broad Caliber Compatibility
Optimized for .45 ACP, the FLOW 45 M supports calibers up to 400 Legend and performs effectively with a wide range of popular cartridges. Supported calibers include:
- 9mm
- 10mm
- .45 ACP
- .45 Long Colt
- .45-70 Government
- .458 SOCOM
Tested calibers include 9mm Luger, 10mm Auto, .45 ACP, .45-70 Government, and .458 SOCOM, ensuring reliable performance across diverse applications.
