I'm looking to pick up one of these for my incoming Osprey 45.  I'm having a hard time finding one.  Anyone know who's got them for a good price?  Feel free to IM or email me.

For most people, it's overpriced. Are you actually needing both standard and metric pistons? The o-rings can be bought really cheap from all sorts of sources.

I'll likely use 9mm in a Walther or HK; and 45 in an HK; and maybe a Walther PPX in 9mm; and an HK 40.  

I don't have any PCC's that can be suppressed.

I guess I'm not sure what I will need to shoot these guns for pistons?

EDIT:  just found the chart on Sico's web page.  Currently, I only need the 16x1LH, and most likely just one other in the future.

I had a weak moment and bought a kit. I thought the all black pistons looked purdy..

I bought it because it saved me buying the metric threaded pistons, as I got browbeat into buying a, well a couple, 9mm Sigs.
They had factory threaded barrels, and metric threads.  Plus I'll get a USP45 Tactical down the road and will need that metric piston.

While I think the box is rather cheap, made of cardboard, with no clasp, it will keep all my pistons together. As long as I use a rubber band.
For the price I expected a plastic box with a way to keep it closed.

All in all, I'm happy.  YMMV.    

On edit:  I bought my kit from Silencerco's online store, back when they send me an email that it was up in the store.

The cheapest I found is $265 shipped.

Is it a go at this price?  I'd hate to buy a piston included in this kit and then have to get more down the road, when I should just buy the kit.

I bought the piston kit from silencerco after coupon for $246.75. For me I think it's was worth it just starting out. I mainly wanted the .578x28 the 13.5x1 and .5x28 all for my osprey. Considering a regular piston is like $70, so once I got those 3 and the o-rings I would already be just about at the kit price. Plus the black just looks really good. I now also have the 2 other pistons. The metric.45 interests me a little if I ever get an H&K. I have no use for the .40 piston and am not interested in the caliber.

Is that a melonite finish?

ETA: Derp it is. I missed it. That's cool, wonder if it would be any better than standard.

Well, it came today!  I thought everything went smooth and the seller had good communication for being a page 8 google search and drop shipping.  I got two items and shipping was like $10.50 USPS.
The barrel and hat were a different order.
