I didn't get exited about 5.7 until we got one of those. The Five-seveN I have never cared for in any generation, the Ruger is ho-hum, and the M&P feels like something I just want to get out of my hand as soon as I can. The Rock just fits and functions beautifully |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AndrewKing: My brother in Christ what do you mean what is going on… lol lol totally agree. Some of us are making suppressors as fast as we can...but form 4s are getting approved faster than form 3s to our dealers...and as crazy as it may sound we are STILL having supply chain issues post Covid. Which in my opinion is absurd, in WWII we built tanks, planes, ships, and the 100 acre factories to build that stuff using primitive technologies. But shut things down for a few months and here we are 4 years later and things are still all f'd up with far advanced technology. |

It’s a mad house right now man. We’re working a full shift during the day and then a half shift at night. Work 8-5 Go home 5-8:30 Back to work by 9 Work 9-12 I feel like I’ve been in a fight at the end of every day lol |

I was planning on getting a Hybrid 46M or a Omega 36M
This could be on my subguns. Or get an omega 9K. I have: 2x Sico Specwar K 556 (sico) 1x Turbo K with dead air mount 1x dead air sandman s 1x sandman K 1x Sico Hybrid with ASR mount 1x standard surefire ryder 9 Gemtech G5 (still have two guns with G5 qiuckmounts permattached Gemtech HVT-QD....sending to ECCO for recore and standard mount for .308 guns. Any suggestyions? I am also saving for Thermal. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Xerith: Depends. My OCL polonium was two weeks. And I didn’t make the first backorder batch SS received. From what I understand the back order list is growing with each day. You have a choice, get in line now or hopefully find what you want locally or through notification/hourly browsing on CA and be fast with the keyboard. The OCL polonium 556 was actually the one I wanted. I found it at another place and paid a little more than SS, and it was in stock. I'll have to pay the transfer fee but I got to thinking this backorder thing might last for a while and I might be waiting all year. |

We’re keeping up with the back order semi decent, just can’t get them to the point of being in stock no matter how hard we try. Back order list goes to 300 We send 290 Back order list goes back up to 250 We send 250 Back order list goes back up to 400 We send 350 So we’re pretty consistently shipping back orders just can’t quite make it over the edge to have them stocked. Sadly I anticipate that will be… quite some time at this rate |

Any suggestyions? I am also saving for Thermal. If I already had a non-modular Hybrid-46 then I’d probably get the modular 36M for your subguns if that’s attractive to you and price isn’t an issue. Weight on a subgun doesn’t require the lighter Omega 9k and the 36M gets almost as short and is more versatile. The only rub is the 36M is limited to Charlie mounts (Ecco has a Charlie to Bravo adapter but that adds cost , length, and weight). Other 9mm bravo threaded but rifle capable bravo threaded cans might be YHM R9 and N20, Rex MG7, EA Sonus, Rugged Alaskan. Buying what’s in stock and available during the current suppressor rush might be the deciding factor. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By KalmanPhilter: Buying what’s in stock and available during the current suppressor rush might be the deciding factor. the salesman in me loves this because i can sell expensive stuff to people who wouldnt otherwise buy a 1k+ suppressor. they're so desperate to get something in the pipeline, its like FOMO, but with guns. its so odd. Ive sold a couple of RC3s this way because people dont want to wait for RC2s. just keep in mind whoever is reading this, once you get that stamp, its yours for life. ive had to flat out tell a couple of people recently nothing i have in stock is a good fit for their needs and they still try to buy something from me. i suggest waiting and getting exactly what you want. first timers have waited their ENTIRE life to buy a suppressor, now all of a sudden its defcon-level-fuckin-12 to buy what's in stock? crazy times dude. |

I’m not here on OCL business, this is just my personal account that’s why my name is the user name. I do my best to not mention it at all unless someone asks because I’m just here because I like guns and suppressors like everyone else. If you want to chat feel free to email me |

For those of you "in the business" and still dealing with supply chain issues, do you think the fiasco in the harbor in Maryland is going to make things worse?
