Looking into an omega 9k. Not much info on it yet. Only test I can find is military arms channel. They got 125db using 165 gr hush ammo in a cz compact. 115gr ammo they tested at 160db and 135db with the omega 9k.
125db seems amazing to me for such a small silencer. The results with supersonic ammo seem reasonable, so I assume the 125db is reasonable... With that kind of performance I'm going to be hard pressed to not get one. I don't have a pistol silencer and I really like the size/performance/speq price of the omega 9k. Anybody have one? Anybody shot one? Any other numbers out there? Any opinions? |

I think the diameter would kinda suck on a handgun. I view it more as a pistol caliber carbine can.
Now for use as a nightstand handgun suppressor I think it would be awesome. But going to the range and putting a bunch of rounds through it without really being able to use their sights properly would be annoying. |
| I have one and think it really excellent. On my MP5 clones and 9mm AR it sounds pretty much as quiet as my Octane 9mm (purely subjective). I used it with the direct thread mount. It is so short and light I could leave it on all the time. I haven't shot it on a handgun yet. |

That 0.1 inch extra means the top of the can is 0.05 inch higher than an octane 9. I doubt I'll notice. Quoted:

The Octane already has too large of a diameter for handguns. Diagram of my Octane on my Glock with extremely tall Trijicon suppressor height sights showing the occlusion: 
As long as you don't care about sight obstruction, or you're comfortable with having a red dot mounted on your slide, just know what you're getting into. |
| Yeah for a handgun primarily I would stick with an Octane but for a sub gun where the extra diameter doesn't matter, the Omega 9K shines. The reduced length is really great. I have the tall Trijicons on a few handguns and can confirm that with the Octane they are mostly viewable but with the Omega the are mostly obscured. |
| Hansohn Brothers emailed me today that my stamp had been approved for my 9k. I'll be using it primarily on a CZ scorpion evo and occasionally on a glock 43. Unfortunately I won't be able to get up there to pick it up until the end of next week. I will report back after I get to use it some. |
