Anybody use the 9mm end cap on theirs? Just wondering if it's worth it in terms of DB reduction.
I will be honest, I am having some second thoughts compared to a Omega9k, hoping to squeeze some good db reduction out of the K config. |

Since you guys are talking about the Omega 9K here's a comparison. I just picked up my Obsidian this Friday, which I bought in May (Check cashed June 15). The Omega doesn't have a mount on it, but I was running it with the Rugged 3 lug which is currently on the Obsidian. Also, my Surge is to the right.

I ordered from Hansohn Bros. and while their website didn't let you choose your own piston, I messaged them and they said they'd be happy to swap out the default 13x1 for what I needed at shipping. That might depend on availability at the time though, as it seems everyone has trouble keeping Rugged pistons in stock. |

My Obsidian 45 finally came in, picked it up Friday, took it to the range yesterday... of my other .45 cans (AAC Ti-rant and Griffin Revo 45) the Obsidian is the quietest and has the least POI shift of any pistol can I have fired. Just ordered a 1/2x28 pistol and 9mm end cap to run on my glock... very impressed with this guy...
makes me want to buy another .45 host... |

Mine just got approved. Waiting on a 1/2x28 piston to show up. Debating doing the silicone treatment while I wait, as it hasn't had any rounds through it yet.
I'm not finding 1/2x28 fixed mounts in stock anywhere. What are my options for fixed barrel spacers? |

I've shot my Obsidian twice since I got it and love it. Went with friends to an indoor range and it was the favorite. I brought a Dead Air Sandman S also. I really really like this can also. We shot the Obsidian on a Sig SP2022 in the short config with the 45 end cap. Very happy with it.

... nevermind I've asked this question before.
I'm supposed to be getting my approval sometime this month and I kinda wish I had bought a .308 can with a quick detach mount for a muzzle break and then additionally purchased the Obsidian specifically for pistol use since I can't quick mount the Obsidian to a rifle that has a muzzle break attached and I can't shoot 300 blackout supersonic through it either. I'm thinking about making it a direct thread setup and making it a dedicated subsonic gun, then just using my suppressed 556 for supersonic hunting. So I can either use the piston with a piston spacer for that or I can take the piston off, save some space, and do the fixed mount right? Because between those two, it sounds like the fixed mount is the better option. And does anybody know when the fixed will be released or if any other companies make one that compatible? |

The Rugged 5/8x24 fixed mount is available now. And I also realized that they're shipping me a .45 piston so I'm going to have to get a 1/2x28 piston as well or a thread adapter for the .45 piston or see if they'll do a exchange I guess? |

This should be out of jail any day now and was going to be specifically for my hk45t. I have a noveske 300blk build just around the corner and will be dedicating a Silencerco Omega to that.
In the meantime is there something I can use on the 300blk build that will take both the rugged obsidian and then take the Omega? |

My Obsidian was approved Monday so hopefully my dealer will be calling soon. Silencer Shop did switch out the piston to the 1/2-28 for me just by asking. I called Rugged about the 9mm end cap as it was not listed on their site any longer and they told me that they discontinued it due to strikes. They did say they would warrantee it if I purchased one from another retailer but who wants to take that chance?

Interesting news about the 9mm end cap availability from Rugged.
I shot an Obsidian over the weekend on a G-19 host with the 9mm end cap and witnessed a slight rolling or peening of the exit bore on the cap at the 6 o'clock position after four or five magazines. I was using a Glock factory barrel in 13.5 metric. I'm pretty sure I had no loss of torque on the barrel during the whole time as I checked the barrel every 5 rounds or so. I think the culprit a lot of the time is people trust too much the fact that barrels will have threads that are perfectly concentric to the bore. Many times over the years I seen this not to be the case. Plated bullets with too much crimp can also slightly upset a bullet path through the can, and even tumble into the target. I don't know this but my other causal theory might be turbulence created by shooting 9mm bullets in an over bore 45 can might create enough turbulence to tip or wobble a bullet enough to create a strike at bore exit. I will say this. I shot the Obsidian full length with a 9mm end cap head to head with a Ti-RANT 9mm and there is no comparison. The Ti-RANT was both noticeably quieter and pleasing in tone than the Obsidian ---same host and load combination. I'm picking up my own Obsidian today. I was sold on the construction, modularity, and since I'm an admitted db chaser, the SS testing video which indicated that it was as quiet or slightly better than the Ti-RANT tested in the same manner. 11 months later I'm wishing I went with my gut and bought the Ti-RANT......or waited for the Ti-RANT M for that matter. Might even dump the Obsidian unfired and do just that. No....I'm not emotional about it

A fellow Arfcommer loaned me his 9mm end cap to try before I bought one myself. My ears didn't notice a worthwhile difference shooting it on a pistol, but YMMV and all.

Dang man. I was sure when we went head-to-head the Obsidian would sound better. Sounds like you found another Obsidian owner to do the comparo. Since I picked it up I have only shot the Obsidian on a PCC other than 10 rounds through the USP9T. The Lawman 147 pelted me a bunch with every round, I assume it would be worse with a 9mm can. Next time I will try the both the USP9T and 226, see if I notice or hear a difference. |
