Silencerco Omega Announced

[mtel]

SilencerCo has a titanium can now. Quieter than the Saker. Has a brake. Full-auto rated.

Sort of combines aspects of the Harvester (brake), Specwar (strong suppression) and Saker (shorter, lighter, Stellite).

I'm interested... SilencerShop is already selling them.

 

[blksniper2000]

Oooh I want one

 

[erwos]

Definitely seems like a best of all possible worlds deal. MSRP is on the high side, I figure they'll be $900 street or so.

Wouldn't mind seeing a pistol caliber suppressor built along the same design philosophy.

Silencerco is really raising the bar on these items it seems. What has AAC released lately?

Not that the SDN6 is a bad product. (I own oneJ Just seems to be getting long in the tooth. Maybe they'll make a 51T adapter like the 5.56 Saker.

cool beans

 

[shootin the breeze]

[F-Stop]

Wow. I was all set to pull the trigger on a Thunder Beast CB7/9 and now must research this new entry.

 

[outrider58]

Me likey!

Ditto

 

[jmira]

I'm going to buy one in March.

 

[frednek9]

As soon as i get my trust completed i will be ordering one.

I have absolutely no proof on this theory, but I'm guessing this was designed with a military contract in mind. After SilencerCo came out with their K models for the Saker and Specwar, I presumably think this was the ultimate response. Shortest, lightest, quietest... and I bet cheaper when massed produced, as it doesn't have a whole lot of features like the Saker, but is lighter then the Specwar.

Just my theory, nothing else.

Mike Pappas was the faceman on Silencerco, but now ditched and started his own.
Curious what kind of rebellion happened at Silencerco!

Yet there are no specs on the suppression of his product.

Closest I've seen to a Dead Air review with stats.

Bought one. Be back in 6 months to report. Errr!

I'm sorry, but with all the excellent silencer companies on today's market I expect something ground breaking to shake things up. This appears to be a nice standup suppressor company (Dead Air) built on the same industry standard principles. Simply put; good but nothing special.

For me, I want unparalleled sound suppression that will calm a supersonic 5.56 NATO round at or near 130db, if not less. As to me, that's truly hearing safe. I think the term "hearing safe" is thrown around WAY too much. For me, something to be truly hearing safe should be 130db at the absolute max. I realize this may be an impossible request, but in my defense stop using the term "hearing safe" when reviewing suppressors.

That's my gripe, and I'm sticking to it!

bobthefisher, both the Silencerco Omega and Specwar are 130db on 5.56

I know, I own a Specwar 556 and based on atmospheric conditions it can be considered borderline hearing safe. It's still load shooting without ear pro on a normal 16 inch AR-15. To say its not, means that you have significant hearing loss or are fooling yourself, and I'm at 32 years of age.

Look... I understand that hearing safe is subjective, but if I had to quantify it, 130db would be the bare minimum. Anything more is not hearing safe at all. Not even 1db over, seriously!

You set the bar awfully high when the motto is no compromise suppressors. Maybe the investment was in durability and aesthetics.

Maybe the change in tone at the ear is more significant than the actual dB reduction. Dunno.

Right now I don’t see anything unique either.
