Just purchased the Obsidian 9 today and I can’t wait to get it mounted on my HK VP9 Tactical!

Just ordered the Obsidian 9 for my first suppressor. SP5K and VP9

Just bought an obsidian 9 can’t wait

[@SimplemanKen]

As much as I love my Obsidian 9 and Radiant 762, I think a 22 suppressor is a must have, first suppressor. Love my Oculus!!

[@Ruggedsuppressors]

It's hard to beat suppressed .22!

[@MRsolidcolor]

ok please explain why? when my daily carry is 9mm and i have a 556? you spend the same amount of money and time. why waste it on a 22 when a 22 isn't loud as is? i think that that logic is dumb and will waste money.

[@Ruggedsuppressors]

@@MRsolidcolor typically because .22 suppressed is Hollywood quiet, the ammo is inexpensive and .22 suppressors are cheaper.

you should do a video on how to wait for forever for your tax stamps

😂😂 We'll see what we can do

I spoke with Rugged...they've been in the works on this project for over a year. They have no idea when it'll finally be ready to post, though.

[@justchillin6599]

love my obsidian9 fde when i got mine and took a good look at the quantity and workmanship i did not want to use it and get it dirty the can is bad ass! but that is what it is for GOOD JOB RUGGED!!

[@Ruggedsuppressors]

Thank you!

[@trunkmonkey56]

Obsidian 45 was my choice before Rugged offered the 9mm, and even short on 9mm it is really good. I love to run it short / wet, and think it sounds better than long / dry. The weight penalty of stainless baffles is worth it running wet all the time. Can use harsher cleaning methods that work better. My favorite combo for sound is long / dry on a 38 special lever action rifle. It's almost 22lr suppressed quiet.

Yes!! Thank Obsidian9 is going to be mine!!!!

[@philthy8150]

Is the obsidian 45 when used on a 9 mm pistol quieter, or louder than the obsidian 9 on same pistol

[@eddyflo2978]

Mine does not cycle with 115 grain ammo or self defense ammo either. Any ideas.?

[@ForceMultiplier]

What platform are you running it on? Factory or aftermarket barrel? Are all the suppressor baffle keyholes set the same way (the side top holes)?

[@eddyflo2978]

@@ForceMultiplier it's a silencerco barrel, with interegraded baffles. I can't remove them or open up the suppressor. I've even used hotter loads but slide does not cycle. Now the same can works flawlessly on a 8" pcc so am stumped why it won't work on the handgun

[@gregz4249]

Are 9 mm end caps available for the 45 can ?

[@poorsoutdoors3595]

I should have my Obsidian 9 by Thanksgiving or Christmas, GOD WILLING!!!!

[@Ruggedsuppressors]

Hopefully! Let us know what you think when you get it!

[@MS-ew5ee]

It is awesome. Everything rugged makes is top notch. I have my obsidian 9 over a year and it still amazes me. It is sweet on 300 blk subsonic. On a 9mm pistol, the booster works like a sewing machine. Throw it on a 22 and it whispers with standard vel. Just make sure you use the right mount on the right gun.

[@Ruggedsuppressors]

@@MS-ew5ee We're glad you're happy with it!

[@poorsoutdoors3595]

@@MS-ew5ee since my transfer dealer is also a gun range I've been able to shoot it at their facility and I love it I already have a 1/2x28 and 5/8x24 fixed mounts for it, only shitty thing is I can never fully hear it's performance at the range because of everyone else shooting but when I get it home I have a nice and quiet place to shoot it.

[@poorsoutdoors3595]

@@Ruggedsuppressors I've been able to shoot it a few times because my dealer is also a gun range and I love it but when I get it home I have a nice and quiet place to shoot it to really appreciate it's performance without other people around shooting at the range.

[@Logan0o]

Video repeats same talking point twice

[@wolfpack7393]

So the obsidian 45 is rated for supersonic .300blk? The website says subsonic .300blk.

[@Ruggedsuppressors]

The Obsidian45 is not rated for supersonic 300BLK, just subsonic.

[@OneAster1sk]

good info, but stop reading from a script, and double reading lines. read it, then go for it.

[@floridaman727]

Come out with something new. These have been out for a decade

[@Jrhoney]

Have they? The Obsidian 45 came out in 2016...

[@GriffXJ]

They just released the new Mustang .22 suppressor
