Re: BUMMED... second day with new suppressor... end cap strike...

Received my suppressor and threaded barrels today. The conclusion of the investigation was that I should refrain from using the Glock 19 Silencerco barrel, despite the fact that the barrel & suppressor were concentric and lined up (Rugged had 2 end cap strikes during their test). I was also advi...

Re: BUMMED... second day with new suppressor... end cap strike...

Rugged has had my suppressor and both threaded barrels for a few days now. They are running tests and hope to conclude by next week.

I'll keep you guys posted on the results when they come in.

SIDE NOTE: Rugged's customer service has been outstanding thus far.

Re: BUMMED... second day with new suppressor... end cap strike...

Seems so obvious that I didn’t even think about it. I guess I just assumed that since both barrels were Silencerco, then both should be fine. Silencerco seems reputable enough to machine it right? Hmmm.

Re: Anyone who used bar code get a stamp back yet?

I wonder how that affects suppressor sales? The bar code being "faster" definitely persuaded my decision to buy 2 more suppressors. Wonder how things are now that word is out that the bar code didn't speed up the stamp.

1911 suppressed versus non-1911 suppressed

Buddy of mine said 1911s have less blowback and less emitted DB than non-1911 hosts. Can anyone who shoots both attest to this?

FS: Gemtech QDA 22 kit

You get the mount, the adapter, and special tool. This product has been used, so it's not brand new.

Asking price is $75 (that includes shipping)

Please email me at [email protected] as I don't check messages here at all.

Does endcap matter?

I have a Rugged Obsidian 45 in jail. Is there an appreciable difference in DB reduction to get the 9mm for when I shoot 9mm?

Re: 8th week of Form 3 and STILL waiting!!!! WTF???

ericlw: I have no problem waiting 10 months for a Form 4. But if you're responding that you've waited 10 months for a form 3, then yeah, I'm pretty sure the majority of people on this forum would say that's absurd.

90 days now... still no form 3 :(

8th week of Form 3 and STILL waiting!!!! WTF???

Ordered Octane 9HD exactly 8 weeks ago. Was told by dealer that Form 3s can take up to 6 weeks, but they've been getting back to the dealer around the 3-week mark. I ordered a suppressor in 02/16 and received my stamp in exactly 16 weeks. It's been 8 weeks and still can't even get a Form 3 just to e...

Re: Tirant 9mm or Rugged Obsidian 45 for 9mm

I ended up buying the SilencerCo Octane 9 HD today. .22lr AAC Element 2 has zero blowback with my Ruger 22/45. I'll be running the Octane 9 HD on a Glock 19. I heard blowback is so bad with that host that you can taste it. Well, I'll see in 8 months!!!

Tirant 9mm or Rugged Obsidian 45 for 9mm

Brothers in arms, I posted a while ago about receiving my first .22lr suppressor (AAC Element 2). It is known for being one of THE quietest with very little FRP, if any at all. I am searching for such a suppressor for a Glock 19. Tirant 9mm has good reviews, but it has aluminum baffles, which is no ...

Thanks mbogo. Gonna try a different host - one with a shorter barrel. Maybe that'll be better (or worse). Who knows.
