I can tell you that it did not function on my Walthers PPQ.  I have a special reason for owning one of these suppressors - I wanted it for a Baby Browning - but to say the least it's a specialized suppressor and I wouldn't recommend it for most people.

This is probably worth mentioning.

Mine is going to be used for .380 hosts and it was $189 so...

I run one on a G26 and it functions perfectly.  Be aware that the wipes need frquent replacement.  You will need to buy a sheet of neophrene to cut wipes from.  Works much better when you coat the monocore baffle with wire pulling gel.  As recent post said, it is a very specialized suppressor.  Definitely not suitable for your first can.

For those that have one, do any of you guys have the newest revised version that does not look like a suppository? I wonder if there's a difference between the two.
Ideally I'd like to have it mounted on the nightstand gun so I don't have to worry about completely blowing my ears out or fumbling with a front heavy gun.
I just ordered the new Poseidon 9 and also have a DeGroat nano that just went pending. Either way I expect to review both on a glock 43 early next year.

Sorta want. Interested in your review. Might buy one next year for my G43. Wish there was a 13.5x1 LH option.

Where did you get it for that price?

I got in on that too. It's a different model, the "DBSD," but it's basically the same thing as the Poseidon. TM had them on sale for 189 a year or so ago.

Wouldn't surprise me if it started in 2013. I posted in it in the last 45 days.

Welp. Gonna call tomorrow and see if any are left. If not, JG sales has them for $299, which I may still be willing to try one at that price point.

Not bad. Let me know what Brooks says.

I have a 6/11 pending date so I should have it in October

Is James still making the Nano? I haven't heard a peep out of him in years, I figured they had closed. I thought about buying one, I think they are better designed and smaller than the Poseidon, though possibly louder.

I got my 45 Poseidon from them for $199 last October, IIRC. Haven't shot it, yet.

Thats strange.   Ive had a very positive experience with Brooks and Thompson Machine.    Very quick to answer emails.

I wont post it, but can PM his cell number if you need it.

It would not be surprising if they still had some of the overruns left.  It would also not be surprising if there are not overruns at all and when order them they are made (which would explain the wait times for people that have purchased them).  There is a somewhat limited demand for pistol suppressors that aren't hearing safe and may not function.

Hey, don't rub it in!
I'm hoping to use mine on a CZ83 and at least try it on a Beretta 92 (barrel moves, just differently.)

They just answered. They apparently aren't the exact same as the poseidon, but damn close. Still in stock for $189.

Interesting, thanks.  I may have to pick one up @189.  Just for the hell of it.
