Ihave really been enjoying the newXD-M Elite OSP.
At the same time, I like to have fun with this pistol as it isnt just for work.
Its for those times that the Obsidian9 from Rugged Suppressors exists.
Simply put, this light and quiet 9mm suppressor is fun to shoot.
In addition, its modular, has features that enhances precision, and it flat-out performs.
The most obvious and most quiet is the full-length mode.
The overall length of the can when fully assembled is 7.8 with a mass of just 12.7 oz.
If you want to go shorter and lighter, you might spin up the Obsidian9 in its K configuration.
This mode brings the length down to 4.85, and provides a balanced weight of only 8.7 oz.
you could spin up the can on your 9mm handgun, your 9mm carbine or several other calibers.
Running.300 BLKor 7.62x39mm subsonic?
Yup, the Obsidian can handle it.
Thread this guy on when running subsonic and all you hear is action.
Adding a suppressor to your gun can change your point of impact.
The Obsidian9 takes another approach.
The piston mount can be used to rotate the suppressor.
When you release the suppressor, it will lock back into place under spring tension.
Simply rotate until your point of impact is above or below your point of aim.
Performance
The Obsidian9 has a decent hush factor.
A typical 9mm pistol report runs around 160 dB.
Conclusion
When it comes to suppressors, IMO you’re gonna wanna shop carefully.
The cost, the paperwork and the tax stamp mean that you better shop with overall value in mind.
Its kind of like getting a bunch of different suppressors for the price of one.
