I got this in my email and was going to post if anyone wanted one to get it quickly (i already have an octane 45 pending) but when i viewed for myself, back to "waitlist"

what a tease!

Probably to late to get in by the July deadline.

OnTarget · May 27, 2016

Yes, same for me. Nothing available for Octane 45, after receiving email. Also, price shows as $684, then when you click on it jumps up to $709. Show what the price is and stick to it. I don't like this way of doing business.

By the way, when I select the thread as 16X1 LH it shows as USP Tactical. Is this still good for a Glock21 factory threaded barrel, if I use this selection (for USP Tactical)?

Seems that every email I get from SilencerShop regarding a special sale on any suppressor shows as "Out of Stock" whenever I go to their web page. Either they have just one item in stock when they put out the email, or it is a crappy sales ploy to get people to visit their website.

They claim you can order a silencer they have in stock by 7/7/16 and they worked it out with atf that you will come under the 7/13/16 deadline

I just tested this. I joined the waitlist for the Omega around 1:30 and at 3:07 I got a notification it was back in stock. I checked within the minute and still saw "waitlist". so maybe a sales ploy. BUT, perhaps someone might have been a lucky caller and was offered the suppressor. who knows.

I doubt it. Back in the ammo/powder shortage days, I'd get notices from Midway in the morning saying my 'wait' was back in stock only to find that it was gone already. I then, set my cell phone as the prompt(instead of email) and kept it beside my bed. Yup, I was getting the notifications in the middle of the night and was able to order right then and there with much success.

A heck of a way to do business. Moreover, the suppliers don't seem to keep up to speed. I would think they'd be working overtime while demand is high.

Think about it. A handful of manufacturers supplying a whole countries needs with this 14 July thing bearing down. Da chit's gotta be a-flyin' off da shelves everywheres.

The pricing moves depending on which local FFL you choose. There's one that will have the lower price, but he might not be the guy you like.

Best way to get a suppressor from them is call them. They can give you a idea when it will be in. If you really want it don't get on the waiting list. Do a pre buy. That way when it comes it the paperwork starts. Most people do the pre buy because the unit is slated to you. So by the time most get back in stock. They are pre sold.

OnTarget · May 27, 2016

I think I'll wait until things cool off. Rugged Obsidian, for example, went from $654 on Silencer Shop to $799 (as of today). I'll just file the fingerprints. What does it matter, many agencies have them anyway, due to all the licenses I have. No big deal. Moreover, I think more and more competition will be arriving soon. That's the american way.

in the screen shot it says first come first serve. i checked within the minute of receiving the email So no pre-buy option. I figured calling would give a better answer of whether or not they have something in stock. But, i am still at work and unable to call in. Also I already have an Octane pending. I was just testing their notification system by joining the waitlist on different silencerco items even though I know they were dropped and supposedly out of stock months ago.

SneakySh0rty · May 27, 2016

Even funnier i received more notifications about them both being in stock. 3 for the octane 2 for the omega.

Only way to do a pre buy is call in. They do not offer that online. Unfortunately there computer and website has some flaws. That's why I call in and talk to a human. It's the only way to go with them.

I just went to Engage and got an Omega out of their inventory. No games, just right. Thanks Nate and Andy!

Okay, where exactly is Engage? I'm in Southern MD.

Two Points:

1 - SS does not carry SilencerCo anymore. I have to assume the notification emails are errors. This has been confirmed by SS and I am not sure why they have anything SiCo on their site. (also dropped Dead Air but removed their cans).

2 - Rugged Obsidian still shows $654 for Maryland. If you are logged off the website it will default to $799.

Thank you...that is a bit of a drive for me, but I think I will attempt to check them out in the next couple of weeks.
