I run one on my sp5k and I believe you wont get better performance on something that size and weight. There are better perfoming cans like gemtech mk-9k but are much longer and heavier

 

Thanks very much. Silencer Shop is OOS on them and I thought to purchase through SS for convenience of their efile kiosk service linked through my dealer.

Is it possible to purchase through a stocking dealer and still have silencer shop help with the tax stamp service and have it shipped to my dealer for the wait?

Yes, I do it all the time at my local "powered by" dealer. You buy it through the stocking dealer and they will Form 3 it to your dealer. Your dealer will input the info into the SS system and then you proceed just like it was a SS purchase for the Form 4.

However, your dealer may charge you additional fees (storage, "handling", etc...) that are covered by SS when buying from SS.

My local dealer charges $100 for an out of SS network purchase.

 

Transfer Fee's have gone through the roof. Make sure you ask your dealer what they charge for an "NFA Transfer Fee". Some shops are charging $200 and more!!

 

I fired on a MP5 and was surprised how loud it was. It is definitely a trade off of size vs. performance. For me I would not recommend it. I went with the Wolfman.

I have never been that impressed with mine either, but thankfully I have lots of other options. The Omega 9K currently sits on the end of my home defense CZ Scorpion SBR. I felt it made the most sense filling that role vs. range use.

 

Rugged obsidian 9 with tri lug is pretty nice

 

I love my Omega 9ks and shoot them all the time with no hearing pro on my Mac 11/9. I only use 158gr Fiocchi when I do it though to get the best performance out of the K can. It's a must with no hearing pro.

The better option might be the new Wolfman that you can have the best of both worlds. The Wolfman's K config is slightly longer than the Omega 9k but suppose to pack a much better tone and suppression.

My new absolute favorite sub gun can is my GSL Phoenix. The lower tone and suppression is absolutely beautiful to shoot with no hearing pro. Might be too large for what you want though. It's a 9k on steroids.

Here is a vid of me shooting the Phoenix and then the Wolfman back to back from this past weekend.

 

The Omega 9K runs very nicely on my SP5. 147gr ammo makes it sounds like a paintball gun.

Just remember that a can gets really hot. It is deceiving, like touching scorching hot metal that has just been welded. Buy a wrap for the can or use an oven mitt to handle it when you remove it. Sounds silly, but third degree burns will result after a mag dump if you grab the can bare handed.

 

Thank you very much everyone for the great feedback. Omega 9 for the win it is, base on its size and weight and my preferences.

 

See these recent threads for info about the Curtis Tactical CT9KS, huge volume due to diameter, but still compact, all Ti and stainless, user serviceable, and on and on...

I really like the Obsidian 9 on my full size and K with subs

 

As an owner of a 9k, personally I think you would be making a mistake if you did not also consider a 45 suppressor which you could also use on your 9mm. I probably should have just gone with the 45k, although I really like my 9k

The Omega 45k is quite similar. The extra 1.5 inches in length and 3 ounces in weight is nothing really, and unless you need to be going through doors with it or in and out of a vehicle, you will likely never know the difference.

In addition, might save you needing or wanting to buy a 45 model down the road, they ain’t cheap as you know.

 

Another interesting "fatty" option is the B&T MP9/TP9 suppressor w/ the B&T 3-lug conversion adapter kit. Suppressor runs about $1k + another $150 for the 3-lug mount. I have no experience with that setup, but think it looks pretty good on the TP9. I'm trying to order one for my recently acquired TP9-N, but can't seem to find it in stock anywhere at the moment. If I end up getting it, I'll probably pick up the 3-lug conversion just to experiment on the SP5 as well.

 

I can't talk you out of the Omega 9k, can shoot 115s and 124s with no discomfort (outdoors), 147s and 158s are really quiet, and the size and weight almost disappear on a full size MP5

 

Thank you gentlemen for your most valued feedback. I really appreciate all the input and affirmation on the other options. Omega 9 for the win , just for the compromise in suppression levels for its size.

 

Rugged probably has some of the best options on the market overall. The Obsidian 9 is really nice

 

I love my Obsidian 9.. stupid quiet with 147’s (vid below). It’s not exactly a tiny can in it’s long configeration, but it can be broken down into it’s short configuration if size is an issue..
