SilencerCo Omega 9K. A 4000 round follow-up review

[@foxcm2000]

Thanks for telling us about the can after some real use!

[@fluffywarhampster]

Used and abused. Until you've done that with gear I don't feel I have the right to talk about it.

[@careylymanjones]

Looks like it would be great on something like a CMMG Banshee, or any AR-9. The diameter wouldn't be an issue, and the short length would be a real plus for an AR.

[@fluffywarhampster]

that is the primary use case i would recommend

[@rylanmartin9040]

@@fluffywarhampster the can was made for pdw/pcc weapons

[@daphoosa]

For 300 Blackout, this boils down to expectations and usage. If you want Hollywood quiet, this isn't it. If you want light and compact for a home defense at the expense of suppression, it is a great option. Yes it will be loud, but it's still wildly better than no suppressor in an enclosed space. If you mag dump through a suppressor, and complain about the finish degrading, well... That's on you. This is a tool, it will wear with use.

[@fluffywarhampster]

all valid points and perhaps that's what I didn't convey the best in this review. I personally see the omega 9k that is best used on a 9mm subgun. although it can be used for other things there is a reason there are other cans out there. same reason you have different types and sizes of hammers.

[@AbqDunn]

Hi! Thanks for the video. Maybe I missed the point but what was the reason for not being good 300 blackout? I have AR-15 300 blackout and an AR-9 w/ wide open. Size looks great for this but is the biggest downfall that it’s not as quiet as it could be compared to others on the market? It’s definitely better than not having one but can find others more quiet? Thanks!

[@AbqDunn]

Sorry. Both pistols. 7.5 and 4 inches

[@fluffywarhampster]

So you pretty much hit it on the head. For me when it comes to 300blk it's a "better than nothing can" its not going to be super quiet which if you're paying for 300blk subs that's kind what you want. If you're just sending supers sure go for it but my point was that if you were getting it to use with 300blk subs you should go for a dedicated can. The omega 9k shines on 9mm pistols and subguns but if you are trying to use it outside of that niche it's going to be disappointing, especially if you are treating this like a multi cal can purchase.

[@eric_houston]

Good video man!

[@fluffywarhampster]

thanks man!

[@jimmym1782]

Obsidian is the same length In short config, and almost the same sound. And the obsidian in long is stupid quiet. And you get that with one tax stamp. Something to keep in mind.

[@fluffywarhampster]

Exactly, if I could have gone back I would have gone with the obsidian.

[@rap36case]

Super quiet with 9mm browning with crimson trace and Ruger PC9. Good to know it sucks with blackout. So why so many rounds with blackout? Why not show shooting and accuracy with 9mm?

[@fluffywarhampster]

@rap36case I originally bought the can as a somewhat "do all" when I was getting into suppressors and it had to fill in for the couple years prior to me getting a dedicated 30cal can. As for shooting footage I just never got around to filming any but It doesn't seem to make a difference in terms of accuracy at least on pistols.

[@rap36case]

@@fluffywarhampster I have shoot 6.5 cm for years with omega 300. I shoot at an nrl 20 stage range and out to 1 mile. Most people get sub moa precision with custom bolt guns and no hearing problems. I now have a Ruger 19122 PC9 carbine accurate to 400 yards and through 4" of pine with the omega 9 can.

[@x.adam1]

I shot my 300 blackout out of an 8" with sub sonic rounds and it was loud af. I only use it on my M&P, Glock, and M9A3. I have not had any issues with sights but my guns have suppressor heights on them.

[@fluffywarhampster]

Yeah I wouldn’t recommend this can for 300blk. 9mm pcc’s is where it really shines

[@OHGearGuy]

No mount, the thing only weighs 7.2 ounces…

[@dustyrhodes2717]

WTF is he even talking about? It's one of the lightest cans I've seen....

[@fluffywarhampster]

And once you add a mount it's no longer 7.2 ounces. The point I was making is that if you want a light small can for 300 blk use there are better options.

[@NickEBN79]

I just ordered this for my 9mm pistol and ordered a VOX S for my 300BO. I got a red dot on my pistol as well.

[@fluffywarhampster]

The vox is a fucking awesome can. I personally would recommend the cherry bomb/plan b for the mounting solution.

[@alexglenn2122]

@@fluffywarhampster What have you run the Vox on? Was thinking about snagging the ARX and their construction is so similar I figured your input would translate.

[@fluffywarhampster]

@@alexglenn2122 i dont own a vox but I’ve shot one before and it is a very good can. Anything energetic armament is gtg

[@tonybailey89]

I certainly appreciate the honesty here, sounds great for my CZ Scorpion but I'll go another route like a Dead Air Sandman for my 8.2" 300blk AR Pistol and spend the few extra hundred for a dedicated 30 caliber can!

[@fluffywarhampster]

thats what ill always recommend

[@LittleFuot]

Great video thanks

[@1god2fear21]

What's SilencerCo's warranty?

[@apsirotin]

Thank you for the video. I’ve been searching for a can for both, my 9mm hand gun / PDW and my .300 blk 7.5 mm shorty. I guess I have to bite the bullet and get both

[@fluffywarhampster]

Yeah I will pretty much always say get two cans the omega is a great 9mm can but for 300blk you are better off nightingale the bullet and getting a dedicated 30cal can. That being said the omega can be a good stop gap while you are waiting for stamps to clear.

[@carlh4350]

Are u sure about the weight? Trash panda shows 11.8 oz. This one you are reviewing is 7.2 oz.

[@fluffywarhampster]

that weight for the omega 9k does not include the mounts......overall the omega 9k isn't a bad can but you need to have a good use case for it, which I don't.

[@user-uq1kk4mh2n]

What 300 blackout suppressor should i get then? For a 7-8 inch barrel

[@fluffywarhampster]

q trash panda, dead air nomad or nomad ti, yhm resonator r2

[@corruptionoutdoors]

What would you recommend for a 300 blackout can in a similar size and weight?

[@fluffywarhampster]

i wouldn't recommend a 300 blk can in this size range. 300 blk subs are for being really quiet so you want all the advantages of a full size 30 cal can. if you are planning to use supers just go for any 30 cal k can out there. personally i like the energetic armarment vox k but if i had to choose between the two i would get the fullsize version for the versitility.

[@rogerloess2379]

Concerns about it filling up with crud? How do you clean it?

[@fluffywarhampster]

center fire suppressors are designed not to be cleaned as most of them have porting on the baffles to allow gasses to evacuate any carbon build up. if you are really worried about it you could always soak the can in some kind of solvent than throw it on the end of a 300blk with some supers and dump a couple mags thorugh. that will blow any excess out.

[@JayyBird93]

Nice in-depth review! I’m just starting to look into my first suppressor, mainly for my MKE MP5K but MIGHT put it on my G19 with RDS from time to time just for fun but it’ll live on the MP5. Right now I’m really leaning towards the DeadAir Wolfman. Have you had a chance to use it or look into it at all? Just curious on your take.

[@JayyBird93]

Also what are your thoughts on it being used on 556? I don’t have an AR yet but I know I’ll get one eventually.

[@fluffywarhampster]

I wpuld dodge anything dead air. I have a sandman k that i am still working in a review for and the sneak peak is that they’re QC is garbage. For something like an mp5 the omega is a good can in my option. It makes a lot of sense for a pcc and can work in a pinch on a handgun but it is a pcc can more than anything else. Also 556 on the omega 9k is going to be a no go

[@JayyBird93]

@@fluffywarhampster other than the issues they were having with the Wolfman/ something about changing a step or contract in their manufacturing process I hadn’t heard that too much yet. Have you reached out to them with your concerns to see if maybe they agree?

[@fluffywarhampster]

@@JayyBird93 my can has had to go back to them twice for repairs. the problem with dead air is they dont actually build any of their cans. all of their manufacturing, QC and warranty work is handled by outside companies.

I purchased the Omega 45k alone because I heard the 9k was barely up to the task of the 300 blk that I plan for it to primarily live on. The only other can I'd want is a SureFire 300

no experience with the CGS. personally i would get a rugged obsidian 9 or a Q erector 9.

[@Fugettaboutit]

Great honest review, and insightful. Followups are always crucial as the proof is always in living with something. I just purchased one mainly for PCC/ODW. With 300 BLK being priced the way it is these days and probably for a while, it's not a big interest for me. Neither is regular pistol use. Have an AAC 556-SD already for 5.56 and there's no way I'd want to shoot 5.56 through anything like this. So I have a lot of PCC/PDW's and also SBR'ing a lower, so something like this will be just right for keeping things nice and compact. Also, my main PCC/PDW's are built around the CMMG radial-delayed blowback system, so that extra little bit of lockup helps keep more of the gas going forward compared to most straight blowback PCC's. The only 300blk that I'd be interested in is maybe a 16" upper for use with supersonics and hunting hogs, and for that with that much barrel and not so much emphasis on being super-quiet, it could do okay and would be nice not having so much extra suppressor weight/length. But I wouldn't be doing that very often anyway so might not even bother.

[@fluffywarhampster]

With subs and the 7inch barrel of my honey badger it was hearing safe so you could give an AR pistol a try

[@Fugettaboutit]

@@fluffywarhampster I actually just built a 300 upper with an 8" barrel (for use with my SBR'd lower), so I'll give it a spin.
