![]() IMO, the subgun/PC lever action market is very underserved now by manufacturers. Would be freaking awesome if someone made a 9mm user serviceable high internal volume (>1.5" diameter) can that was also rated for. 45 Gemtech UMP SMG can.once I get that one back will be sending another out to get re-cored. I wish I bought something that I could deal with myself and not have to rely on the manufacturer.Īre there any 3rd party companies that will do it?I've had two cans re-cored by Curtis Tactical and very happy with them. Henry Graham took it over then he went to Silencerco and now he runs Rugged. Again those cans are no longer made by Gemtech and Gemtech is now owned by SW.likewise, SWR is long gone. I also have some old SWR and Gemtech 9mm cans that are also sealed with aluminum baffles and just waiting for them to get too loud to deal with them. ![]() I contacted Gemtech before SW bought them and was told they couldn't do anything for me. I tried soaking in 'Ed's Red' and couldn't get it clean. Mine filled up with lead and is now too loud. If you don't know what that is, it is a drum fed 22LR machine gun with 275 round drum capacity. It was made to handle full auto fire from the American 180. Of course the Obsidian matches all these virtues but it doesn't have the volume of this suppressor which is perfect for PCC/SMG's and short length. I've had suppressors since around 1998 and I'm sending several of them out to get re-cored now due to filling them up with lead.I'll never buy a non-serviceable suppressor for a pistol caliber again.ġ7-4 SS baffles, just drop the baffles in CLR with not worry of damaging exterior finish and then taking each baffle apart for inspection is not an issue.Īlso consider if you ever have a baffle strike that it will be easier to service vs a welded suppressor. Yeah, I know you can soak whatever can but that is still a pain and I'm not spending hours with a bore scope to check all the nooks and crannies of the insides of a suppressor. I designed the Ghost.I'll be the odd guy here to vote for the Obsidian 9 over the Wolfman because it is completely serviceable. Instead, the spring retainer cap goes on the piston, engages the O-ring, then engages the threads, then engages the spring and it all tightens down from there.Īnyway, I hope this helps with anyone that's on the fence out there.ĭead Air Guys, Todd Magee from Dead Air here. Like, when you replace the piston, you don't have to fight the spring while threading parts together, risking cross threading. Even how the booster goes together was thought out. It's just a nice added feature to not have to worry about this in the Ghost. I don't say this to dog on any of their designs, because they work. The Sico/Rugged/GA designs all leave the piston cylinder inside, so you have to carve out any carbon that may have built up before being able to fit the piston back in. So, if you want to shoot the suppressor with a 3-lug or a fixed mount, you can go right back to pistol without a hitch. My recommendation is to never even bother to clean them unless you're a regular high-volume shooter. These are made of hard anodized 7075 and they only ever need light cleaning because of where they are in the suppressor. I've seen people criticize the aluminum module baffles. Had it been designed in today's market, it would be quite different. The price reflects the material and machining that go into it. It's the most overbuilt pistol can on the market. The tube is grade 5 titanium (vs 6061 aluminum on others), and the module tube is cut from solid 7075. I'm pushing hard to get this to the market for you Ghost owners out there. It's just a couple dB off, so it's not hard to hit that. I think with one of those installed it matches the performance of the Obsidian. We have some standard flat 45 caps that we may sell someday. ![]() The bore is massive on that front cap to allow for a 45 cal bullet to pass through with a wipe in use. The wipe helps in the short config, but I'll be honest, it was a marketing request-not an engineering one. When you do shoot it wet, it holds it a VERY long time. You can shoot the Ghost wet, and it can have less crap blown back at you than the others shot dry. This depends a bit on host weapons (because some make it worse), but if you're shooting without glasses you'll find yourself literally closing your eyes as you pull the trigger with something like the Octane 9 (and the GA and Rugged can that were based on that). REALLY low back pressure for a pistol can that still does great at the muzzle. Here are some key things that I feel set it apart: I feel like it's been our ugly redheaded step child for some time and has gotten a bit of bad wrap because we've let the competition define it. ![]()
