I've got one in the process(nfa jail) from silencer shop, still cant find the 3-lug adapter to buy or the 9mm end cap, cant wait, looks great, and i've only seen good comments about it

 

I'm waiting on one too and I should have the stamp any day now. The adapters are not available for sale yet, but the are supposed to be going out VERY soon.

 

Excellent--- thanks for sharing!!! :biggrin:

Hmmmmmm, mine should be around soon!! I wonder if the Griffin and SICO interface with the Rugged never thought to try or ask??

 

I need 13.5x1 LH and 16x1LH pistons for my obsidian45 to go on HK45T and p30.

I bought an extra griffin 3-lug mount for the Obsidian as well. Works on my Octane9, so will work on obsidian.

Still, when rugged has one to sell, I will buy one.

 

Silencerco pistons work. I'm still waiting until late August for rugged to sell theirs. That's when they said they'd be restocked.

 

I use a SilencerCo Octane 45, and shoot 9mm through it with a variety of hosts. I contacted SilencerCo about using a 9mm end cap and they recommend against it. They've seen end cap strikes with the smaller diameter cap on a .45 can. You can argue that it shouldn't happen, but at least with direct thread, things come loose sometimes, and occasionally wobble. The minimal benefit didn't seem worth the risk of a buggered can.

 

FYI, the SilencerCo 3-lug adapter works on the Obsidian. However the Griffin 3-lug does not. I'm glad Rugged released their own low-profile 3-lug adapter for the Obsidian. This will likely be my next pistol can purchase.

 

Yes, the silencerco pistons will work, I just wanted the pistons without the unnecessary groove. Might/should reduce blowback.

 

Indeed! Thanks for the post. Yeah I have a prototype version, it's done they are just waiting on custom springs for it. They should be releasing it asap! Most of you know I provide photos Rugged and other companies out there so I'll share these here to give you a better look at the 3-lug.

I will say this is the most solid 3 lug mount I've ever used. I don't know if this is a internal vs external thing but there is ZERO wobble. I've had issues with Gemtech and Silencerco (both external) 3-lug wobbling on my 9mm Glock mag SBR's barrel. The Obsidian mount is SOLID. If I had to guess, this has to do with the way the piston inside is machined. It seems the internal type 3-lugs have more surface area surrounding the 3-lug barrel once inside.

I like the 9mm endcap. The Obsidian didn't exhibit any increased port pop and shooting the full length setup on a G17 wet with the 9mm endcap was a religious experience lol. I shoot cans every other day and I was taken aback. That being said.... don't forget to swap the endcap back when moving to a 45 host! DOH!

 

Thanks for showing up and giving us a first hand account!

While I've got you here I have a quick question that I haven't been able to get an answer to. Will Silencerco fixed barrel spacers work with the Obsidian?

My Obsidian stamp will arrive any day now and I really want to run it on my UMP conversion with a 16X1 LH M threaded barrel. However, I have been told that Rugged will not making a mixed mount in that thread pitch or a fixed barrel spacer of there own. I have been dying to figure this out, thanks!

 

Oooooh a 9mm endcap too!! DO WANT BOTH!

 

The design looks identical to the Griffin 3-lug, once I have one in hand I will compare but from the outside and the slight inside shot that is my assessment. My Griffin also has zero wobble.

 

I have been researching for my 9mm and 10mm clones. I had pretty much decided on this suppressor. It looks great on the k. I'm definitely going to buy one.
Just called Silencer Shop , they said they should have these back in stock within 30-60 days.

 

OK I just personally checked and verified a few things for you guys.

1. The SiCo fixed spacer does work. I mounted it on a gun and pulled on it, there is no rattle or movement. It fit like a glove, and was the same size as the spring it replaced.
2. The SiCo fixed adaptor (replaces the piston & spring) fits like a glove too.
3. The SiCo Harvester 5/8x24 flush fixed mount fits perfectly. This also drops the OAL by a solid 1/4" over option 1 & 2.
3. Griffin Armament 3-lug adaptor does fit. You compress the spring down and push while threading it into the can body. Fit perfect. It did have some rotational movement once on the 3-lug barrel but no up or down wobble. It should be good to go. It felt fine.

All that being said, I don't like hodge podge parts on my guns and cans but it should hold you over till Rugged can catch up on production and you can support them by buying theirs as well. Also I would check with them about warranty issues but Rugged is a pretty kickass company so I don't see them screwing you over because you had a brain fart.

Hope that helps!

 

Thanks so much man. I've been searching for this answer for 8 months now. I ordered my Obsidian from Silencer Shop the day they were announced on new year's eve so I should have it any day now.

I can't wait to run the Obsidian on my UMP. I may be the first to do so. I have a Rugged Surge on the way too.

Great videos by the way.

Rugged respond to me today. Said they couldn't say if the griffin 3-lug mount would fit, but cited "unconditional" warranty. So, I'm covered.

Thanks for the pics, man.

We tried one at the local shop, didn't fit. There is not enough volume inside the Obsidian for the Griffin 3-lug adapter.

 

Not sure the age, could be older production. Rugged is making one (prototype show in this thread), and I would buy it regardless if/when I own a Obsidian.

 

I can confirm that Silencerco pistons and fixed barrel spacers both work with the Obsidian. I just shot it on my UMP conversion today. The mount did not screw in flush when using the spacer like it does when using the booster spring, but it did not seem to cause any problems.

 

@MasterBlaster - thanks for the post. I too am looking for a solution to mount the Obsidian on a 16 X 1 LH HDPS barrel on my UMP conversion. Was hoping this https://ruggedsuppressors.com/product/fixed-mount/ would be available in 16x1 but not so far, so I'm happy to hear that you solved this with a Sico fixed barrel spacer.
Just to be clear, is this the device you got? https://www.store.silencerco.com/products/fixed-barrel-spacer?variant=221756540
So I still need a 16x1 LH piston for the Obsidian (which of course is out of stock) to go with that fixed barrel spacer? https://ruggedsuppressors.com/product/piston/
Thanks!

 

Been researching for my first suppressor, and this one's at the top of the short list. Anyone used one on a Mark 23? That would be my immediate use, but ultimately I'd like the forthcoming MP5 to share, and I'll probably also end up getting a threaded barrel for my VP9. The MP5 is threaded 1/2x28, but I may have it 3-lugged. The HK webshop has VP9 threaded barrels in 13.5x1 LH. HKparts.net has US made 1/2x28s, but they are more expensive than the HK ones and, well, not HK made. Those who have bought one, what piston (if any) does it come with? One of the videos I saw unboxed one and there was a piston included, but don't know if that was a special review sample.

 

IN STOCK RIGHT NOW..
Rugged Obsidian 3-Lug Mount - Capitol Armory
no one else has it so jump on it
cant wait to use it on the MP5

 

thank you - been checking out the rugged distributors for weeks now ...

 

Well the site I was about to order the suppressor from JUST went out of stock, but I went ahead and got a 3 lug and 9mm end cap from these guys anyway. Gonna ask about expected wait times elsewhere because these guys are quite a bit more expensive.

 

The rugged obsidian 3 lug fits on the Octane 45 better than SiCo 3 lug - more rigid and about 3/4" shorter. Have it on my Mp5K SBR

 

This is good to know! Im in the same boat right now.

 

Back in stock at Capitol Armory

 

Appreciate the heads up. Just ordered one!

 

Although I have an Octane 3 lug coupler for my Omega 9K, I like the Rugged Obsidian's 3 lug coupler much better. Threads in no issues, locks up just fine and cuts another inch or so off overall length vs the Omega 9K + Octane coupler.

Setup seemed hearing safe to me (although I ran it with foam plugs in, like always). No issues so far with several mags, 147gr. Recommended, if you can find one.

Here are some pics:

Just became my new favorite can and mount combo!

Thanks for the pics. I've ordered the three lug coupler, at least a few more months before the 9k comes home.

 

I got a Bevy of treats the other day!!

 

well that's what I get for slacking. out of stock already at two places. Capital and SS both had them in stock

 

Glad I got it ahead of time then. Though I suppose since I haven't even ordered the suppressor itself yet I would have had plenty of time anyway.

 

Mines still in atf jail. Probably till after the new year. So I have some time before I need it.

 

Just got a "back in stock" alert for the Rugged Obsidian 3-lug mount!
