     The 9mm M10 suppressor was built to the same design as the .45 M10 suppressor, utilizing many of the same components and having much the same external dimensions. The central bore of the 9mm M10 suppressor was slightly smaller than that of the .45 caliber version for greater efficiency. To prevent the 9mm suppressor from being used on the .45 caliber weapon, or visa-versa, the threaded, mounting to the 9mm M10 was different. The 9mm suppressor threads onto the ¾ inch x 10 NC threads on the muzzle mount of the 9mm M10 submachinegun. The mount also telescoped the suppressor 4 cm (1.59 in) over the barrel of the submachinegun.
