Just announced. Launch video and NFA Review Channel's first look.
The Obsidian 45 - The Quietest 45 Pistol Suppressor on the market today.
According to us, science and every single human eardrum. This new multi-caliber, modular pistol suppressor meters at an industry-leading 129.3 decibels dry on .45ACP. Constructed of aluminum and 17-4PH stainless steel, the Obsidian 45 also comes with Adapt™ Modular Technology as made famous with the Surge 762. The Adapt™ module allows users to configure the Obsidian in a standard 8.6” to a 6.7” short configuration within seconds. It’s full-auto rated for pistol calibers up-to .45 ACP can be used with 300 Blackout subsonic rifle ammunition. For more information about the Obsidian 45 and to find a local dealer near you, click on the link below. Obsidian45.com DECIBELS: 129.3dB LENGTH: 8.6" / 6.7" MSRP: $850 ADAPT™ Modular Technology: ADAPT™ Modular Technology allows the Obsidian 45 to be configured in a standard 8.6" or short 6.7" configuration within seconds. Material Selection at its Finest: Constructed of aluminum and 17-4 PH Stainless Steel, the Obsidian is completely user serviceable and rated up-to subsonic 300BLK and full auto rated for pistol calibers up-to 45ACP. Non-Slotted Piston Design: A common problem with pistol caliber suppressors is the gas blowback associated with slotted pistons. The Obsidian 45's non-slotted piston system solves this issue by creating a full circumference gas seal. Silence Comes Standard: Whether you prefer the standard or short configuration the Obsidian 45 will performs above your expectations. Standard Configuration: 129.3dB - 45ACP; 123.7dB - 9MM Short Configuration: 137.5dB - 45ACP; 130.4dB - 9MM Revolutionary Mounting System: We strategically place the engraving on the thickest cross section of the 17-4 stainless steel mount for fast and easy replacement should the suppressor become damaged beyond repair it also serves to make the Obsidian infinitely upgradable in the future. Unconditional Lifetime Warranty

I didn't have any meter data when I shot the Obsidian 45, and I was blown away by what I heard. It was a week later that I finally got the dB stats showing my intuition was right. It's not only the quietest 45ACP can on the market right now; it's also one of the quietest 9mm cans on the market right now even with the 45ACP endcap in place.

Are the pistons proprietary, or will it use SiCo pistons? The pistons look very similar....

This allows for a full circumference gas seal that eliminates most of the gas blow back common in other pistol suppressors. The Obsidian will work with Octane pistons, however you'll notice a slight increase in blow back due to the slotted pistons. Chris Rugged Suppressors |

As in your pistons in a SiCo can? I know with Griffin I believe it's only swappable in one direction. |

The Obsidian's pistons will work in an Octane, but we recommend you check with SilencerCo to find out about any warranty implications. As far as Griffin pistons go, we have read these are built to a different specification so at this time, we do not recommend using Griffin pistons in the Obsidian or vice-versa.

Quiet Riot has these in stock right now at an awesome price as well for those in GA that are local to their place.
I am in no way affiliated with either company. Just a happy customer of Quiet Riot. |

Since upgrade potential is being flaunted, is there a plan to introduce a Ti tube variant? Among other things, I would prefer to be able to utilize the dip cleaning method; can't do that with Al.

My Rugged Surge, I can just drop it in the dip & let the chemical interaction do the dirty work, all in 1 process. The Dead Air Ghost is only PC can I know of that utilizes Ti tubing at this time. |

But being a sealed can, what other way is there to clean it? A user-serviceable can I can pre-treat with silicone, making dip cleaning unnecessary. It would be convenient to be able to use a single cleaning process, is all I am getting at. |

Silencer Shop has it listed as good for 10mm on their website. Is this correct, and if so, does that mean that it will take 357 mag as well?

No need to clean centerfire rifle suppressors as long as you are using jacketed bullets. If you are using cast bullets, that's a different story. Anyway, sorry for the thread drift.... |

No metric LH pistons in 9 and 45? I don't do RH threads.
and $799 Powered By vs $654.99 QR for me. That's a big difference. |

dont get me wrong i understand that SS direct now bundles in the Transfer fee and even if you did 100 "which i know SS gives less" that still puts the quiet riot suppressor at around 50 less.. it would be an easier pill to swallow with a price reduction of 50-75 bucks from SS or toss in a free 1/2x28 mount.
