I really like the Obsidian 45 but when I check out the manufactures web page they don't have any mounts in stock.
I have read I can use another maker's parts on this can but prefer to stick with oem.
Another thing is the Obsidian 45 uses a fixed threaded end cap will the other company uses a spacer over the piston for a
fixed mount. Can you use a spacer on the piston in a Obsidian 45 or you must use the fixed mount adapter?

Any thoughts on this?

As you can use silencerco pistons, you would be able to use their spacer. Waiting on my obsidian, I have acquired rugged brand pistons for metric 9mm and 45 acp, as well as a couple of 3-lug mounts. If needed, I have a silencergo 1/2x28 piston and fixed mount.

I would think piston availability will improve from here.

Keep an eye out on hansohnbrothers,  quietriot, capital armory, and silencershop for mounts. They are out there.

I called last week--- I was told mounts should be in full supply within six weeks.


But I'm just some guy on the Internet

Buy the obsidian.  You will have a year or more to find the mounts.  Everyone is buying them up when they get in stock so sign up for notifications.

I need to find out if any mounts are coming with the can.I ordered one any way. I did do the notice for when in stock for the parts.

Our pistons are propriety in that they do not utilize the slots found in other manufacturers designs. This allows for a full circumference gas seal that eliminates most of the gas blowback common in other pistol suppressors. The Obsidian will work with SilencerCo Octane pistons, however you'll notice a slight increase in blowback due to the slotted pistons. The Obsidian will work with either a spacer or the fixed mount. While using the fixed mount you will not need a piston or spacer. The Obsidian comes with a .578x28 piston, which is standard threading for most 45 ACP pistols. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. I do have a 1/2 by 28 piston ordered. With the one coming with the can all I need is a 1/2 by 28 fixed and the a 1 x 16L piston and I will be in good shape. I plan on all OEM parts.

Smart.  This alleviates the issues that come up if warranty work is needed.
