I just received my stamp and picked up my Obsidian 45 last weekend. It works perfectly. I used it on my Scorpion EVO3 pistol with Rugged’s fixed barrel spacer and the 9mm end cap. My neighbor thought I was shooting a pellet gun. That right there tells you how well it works. The suppression with subsonic ammunition is just simply amazing. Now, for Rugged’s customer service. They are also amazing. I had seen that on other reviews, which is part of the reason why I went with the Obsidian 45. My first time using it, a bullet barely struck the 9mm end cap. It did not damage the baffles or the tube. I believe it was my fault, as the cap that tightens the piston into the suppressor was not completely tightened down. I discovered that it stuck a little on the piston, so although I thought it was tightened, it had a little to go. That slight play resulted in the bullet striking the end cap. After contacting Rugged, they sent me a new end cap, spring, and piston cap (the one that was sticking on the piston) free of charge within two days. Bottom line, their customer service is amazing and they stand behind their products. 5 stars all of the way around. For the product and the quality.

Hey I just wanted to let you know (as I own one myself) I spoke to a rep at Rugged and he told me to keep the 45 end cap on the suppressor, not to swap to 9mm when shooting 9mm. There have been reports of end cap strikes with 9mm ammo when doing that. FYI

@dustinduncan1730

Yeah, I don’t use the 9mm end cap anymore. Every one I have tried has had strikes…

thanks for including 45, 9mm, and 22 pistol and rifle in this video. Really helps get an idea how it sounds across all the typical platforms. After 5 months I just picked up AAC TiRant, but these new products from Rugged, Sig, and DA would have made it a difficult choice a few months ago. Hopefully more mount options in future for these new Cans

Thank you for this review, I have a CZ P-09 Duty suppressor-ready coming in this week, and your video helped me a lot in understanding this suppressor. I will order it, and now that I have a much better understanding of it, can't wait to get it!!!

Just watched this 6 year old video and this can is rated number 1 on some lists, extraordinary! Great video and thanks for making it!

CAN confirm. Still rated quietest 45 supp. Came here to see if he could give me some pointers on taking it apart. Very stiff before first use. Can't get some of the baffles apart. Operator manual says use hex key but the thought of marring something I waited waaaay too long to take home, has me hesitant...and he didn't break it apart on camera...probably because he struggled too. Edit: I used the end of a hard plastic kitchen stirring spoon and a rubber mallet for the really difficult ones.

Excellent review!!! This review stands out for the range tests in 45 ACP, 9 mm and 22 LR in both short & long configurations including dry and wet. Well done!

by far the best new modular can i have seen yet, looks great

Very nice review! I currently have some on order for customers, and definitely will continue to promote these fine cans!!

My obsidian 45 tax stamp finally arrived!! ATF cashed my check on April 13. Just around 8 months. I can not imagine how long the wait will be for those who submitted a form 4 after 41P.

I shot my Staccato P in K config with Win 147 JHP. It was very quiet, and so much nicer to shoot than with my Glocks. It is full in full config, but so much more enjoyable in K, and still VERY effective. I have to admit it is fiddly to reassemble.

Great review!! What do you mean by wet and dry? Thanks man

Wow that full size is a hefty suppressor bigger than even my hybrid

I was really hoping to buy one of these, but ran out of time before the atf rule change. I ended up buying an Octane 45hd, should have it soon.

Compared to a dedicated .22lr can, how's the sound? Is it an increase or just about equal? If equal there would just be the added bulk and weight..

What is your preferred 45 ammo for shooting suppressed? I recently got my octane 45 and it has a lot of blowback with 45 and virtually none with 9mm. My cases with 9mm are super clean though so I'm thinking it's just bad ammo selection in the 45 ammo

I love that it's modular and not just a one trick pony!

question. what does wet mean? obviously theres liquid some where in the gun cuz i can see if dripping off his hand. whats the liquid? where is it? and is it common to do it? pros and cons? can you do it with all suppressors?

wow. simply wow

What .22 LR ammo are you using in the ruger 10/22? Sounds quiet and is cycling the gun well.

I have one locked up right now, it's at a local transferee. Should be a couple of months to go.

which would you recommend, Octane 45 or this Obsidian 45?

I like the obsidian 45 so much I bought 2 of them.

Do you think the cans that come apart to clean are any better than the contained units? talk is they last longer but the old units I've seen keep on trucking with little maintenance in fact self cleaning for the most part?

Do you know if the piston from the Obsidian will fit into the Octane?

so if you could only have one, would it be this or the Ghost M?

Do all the little openings on the baffles have to be exactly facing the same way when putting the top and bottom back together?

Can you show the o-ring placement? It was off camera.

I am absolutely new to suppressors. Watching this video, it means that buying one 45 caliber obsidian suppressor would also be good enough for all my other calibers (10mm, 9mm, and 22lr)?

Will you be reviewing the Gemtech One?

9mm had you grinning the whole time..lol

What are your thoughts about this compared to the Octane 45 HD.

I know it’s an older video but I’m still rocking my TiRant 9 & 45 so it must be quieter than those or have a better tone which the Tirant was hard to beat for years and a lot of people still can’t do it. This is a sincere question so no sarcasm please and thanks in advance to anyone who will help

I'm assuming the keyholes from the long section don't need to align with the keyholes from the shorter section? If they do, I can't figure out how to do it.

What’s the difference between “wet” and “dry”? I just thought it was about the humidity, but it looks like you’re shooting on the same day for all shots.

Does it not matter if the baffles in the extension aren’t lined up with the ready of the can since you can’t lock them in together other than simply screwing it back on?

Does the end module need to have the baffles lined up with the rest of the tube's baffles? Or can you just throw it on as you did in the video?

I was looking into this can and stumbled upon a Reddit thread about o-rings getting torn up from simply putting on and taking it off. Now I don’t have any experience with cans but that sounds a little odd . Is that a thing? Do you have to replace an o-ring inside the piston every time you thread it on and off?

I'm having problems figuring out which baffles go where, on one of the baffles it says number 1. I can't figure out if I have the correct baffles in the long configuration mode.
