The SD can itself is an NFA item, so it would have to be produced here. Beyond that, it may be difficult to bring in on an importation points basis - I've never bothered to figure out how many points it would get, but they're heavy as hell for a pistol so it may have enough points. Not sure. And it also may be difficult to get approval of any additional models from Turkey because of the whole Turkey-Syria-Russia-U.S. whatever. |

Nfa items cannot be imported for commercial use. By definition they are non sporting and are not subject to the points system. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I thought you were referring to the can for points.

After 393 days of waiting on Form 4s, I got news my TPM SD is approved and ready for pickup. Road tripping to Carrollton next weekend to pick it up.

Has anybody done any gel tests with their SD? Curious how the expansion of hollowpoints is at the slower speeds.

Well I emailed Silencerco... they told me that in their high round testing, it showed that there wasn't a need to ever clean the Omega 9SD cans they're releasing. If I do get the urge to clean it, they told me to soak it in mineral spirits for 12-24 hours and then used compressed air to blow it all out.
Never really had to clean a suppressor before... but does that sound normal? On paper it seems Silencerco is really modernizing the MP5SD, but with the hassle/expense of a suppressor and tax stamp, I want to make sure it's not a regrettable decision. |

On paper it seems Silencerco is really modernizing the MP5SD, but with the hassle/expense of a suppressor and tax stamp, I want to make sure it's not a regrettable decision. It will fill up without cleaning. It has to. I don't know how many rounds it takes, but it has to happen. We can question the logic or necessity of user serviceable rifle cans and pistol cans, and there's evidence to show that even they benefit from cleaning. But questioning a sealed rimfire can or sealed SD can isn't even up for debate in my mind. It's idiotic because of the design of the platform. All of this is my semi-informed opinion, and the people at SilencerCo have a lot more experience than I do. But I don't believe for a second that it never needs cleaned. If mineral spirits works, excellent. It'll be a nice short can (that hasn't been metered against the leading cans as far as I know.) Maybe that same cleaning method can be used for the Omega 9K and Dead Air's new sealed pistol can. |

It's also going to block the ports that slow the bullet down. |

Where? Half the volume of the MK-9K, I would bet MK-9K still meters better, and it's .5" shorter. So why not add the extra .6" diameter and get better sound? But to each their own Quote HistoryQuoted:
