I finally got around to putting the new SilencerCo Omega 9k on a meter. I was pleasantly surprised at the performance. For $725 they've a great suppressor that only adds 5" to the OAL of your pistol or carbine. In my tests I meter a clap to give you an idea of just how loud the Omega 9k is.

It's a interesting can, but I feel you have to trade off shortness for thickness. Either way, nice video!  I enjoy most of the ones you post. Keep it up!

Well, I'm excited.  That can was my last purchase before the deadline.

Me too. Hopefully I'll have my two by Thanksgiving.

I remember when it was released, several people were complaining it wasn't user serviceable. I've never felt the need to disassemble any of my centerfire cans.

Mine has been pending since 3/21 and will go on my MPX SBR once its approved.  Can't wait!

MAC, if you could do a video of that can on your MPX or Scorpion that would be sweet! :)

I don't service my centerfire cans. I have cans with well over 6k through them (most likely far more) and it doesn't change their performance in the slightest.

 



On the flip side, I've had customers bring in cans they've taken apart... well, beaten apart with various devices... and they accomplished nothing other than to mangle their baffles and marred up their can.




.22 cans I clean.

When I get my personal can I will toss it on a .300BLK and do some meter testing for you guys.

Would really like to see that.   I use an SDN6 and am very happy with it.  Having a lighter profile can for night hunting would be great.   I use my 300 BLK of ferral hog hunting with a thermal scope.

MAC,
Definitely throw it on an MP5K or the Zenith Z5P with a Griffin Tr-lug. Sweetest set up!

Awesome videos and channel. Thank you for what you do at MAC!

Great review and the part showing the sound of the clap was a great idea for comparison.  Looking forward to getting my 2 Omega 9k's one for Scorpion and the other for mp5.  Would be nice to see the review include mp5, Scorpion or MPX because the 9k looks like one of the best avalible options for a PCC.  But from this review the 9k looks like a nice little handgun suppressor by being light and compact while still being quite.

Thanks Guys!

This is a can I really wish I would have gotten before 41f. I use an Octane9 on my MPX now, and it sounds great. But I want to run a 3 lug mount and that k can would be perfect to keep the size down. And it's a super tough can, should be able to hold up to everything I can throw through it.

It might be worthy enough to learn how to fill out all the new BS.

Great video, I really enjoy this format! Any chance you could shed some light on Silencer Shop loaning you a SilencerCo product which they no longer distribute? Did they have it prior to the separation? I couldn't find that the 9K was ever even listed for sale by Silencer Shop.

They should buy a bunch...and then start selling them

For everyone in this thread talking about running one of these with a 3 lug, keep in mind that the 3 lug adapter is external and adds about 1.5-2 inches. I ran this setup last weekend on a Scorpion and a 9mm AR and although it worked great, it almost defeats the purpose of having such a short can.

Does anyone actually use the SilencerCo 3-lug on this can? I thought everyone used a Griffin 3-lug with it.

I'm using the Silencerco Mount.   The GA Mount will not work with my TROS 3-lug barrel and an HKparts MPX 3-Lug adapter.

With the Silencerco mount..... I'm able to use a 5" TROS 3-lug AR 9mm barrel with a 4" 1.3"ID rail.   The SiCo Adapter recess into the 1.3" ID rail nicely and the bottom of the 9K just clears the front of the rail..nice flush look.

With the  MPX... the SiCo Mount is a bit long.. and it's unfortunate for me that the GA mount will not go my HKparts MPX 3-lug adapter.

With my Scorpion... I'm going direct thread... Much more compact due to the really long Scorpion 3-Lug adapters.

Can you elaborate on what causes the issue? I plan on using my 9K on a TROS barrel when it clears.

It's a hell of a lot better than running a 3 lug on an Octane9, which is the can I have now. It already seems long on a 6" mpx with direct thread.

The bushing/sleeve from MY GA Mount that slips over the tip(fwd of lugs) of the 3-lug barrel or adapter is very tight probably due to tolerances...high side OD for the barrel/adapter and low side ID for the GA bishing.

I have zero fit issues with any mount/barrel/adapter combinations with my Multimount or AAC mounts.

So... The GA 3-lug mount that other folks receive might not have an issue...but the one I received will not work with my barrel/adapters.
