Silencerco Omega 9K - Is it worth it?

[ilikegunspdx]

Well I broke down and ordered the Witt machine can. $245 after code "FJB" was just too good to pass up. Since my others were so little time consuming I guess I can live with going to ffl for this one can. Due to the small size I consider it a "take the edge off" can. Might be good for my 10.5" brn-180 in .223 or 12.5" .308 pistol, although i kind of like the big blast from the .308. It's all @TTSX 's fault for egging me on!

Its hard to find Witt machine db #s. Mr gunsngear showed one of their small cans reducing 5.56 from 166ish to 144ish db which equates to a 75%ish reduction in perceived noise. Not same can but similar size and also monocore like the dirty 30 etc small cans.

10.5" 300BLK subs went from 160ish to 141ish. 10.5" 300BLK Supers went from 165 to 141ish.

So those #s are close to hearing safe. For me I'll be wearing my peltors when shooting with this can but for a home defense gun such as short barreled 5.56 or 300Blk this should be a big improvement over no can I would think.

My rex silentium MGX with 3 baffles in .308 is nowhere near hearing safe. I'd imagine the Witt machine is similarly loud but it does take that edge off which is nice

Before $200 was the cost of a meal at Mcdonald's I would have argued against buying one. Now? Meh , whatever.

I'd buy the Witt machine dirty 30 can cuz so cheap but it's not worth the time, hassle, and gas for multiple trips to ffl. Capital armory last time I think I spent a total of around 15-20 minutes all from home. I wish they sold the Witt machine cans.

I looked also. Ended up buying a Harvester EVO instead

FYI that the Omega 9K just popped up as back in stock at SilencerShop - order placed!! I had an email exchange with them just yesterday and they said they were coming this week. They also got a bunch of the new Spetre 9s and Velos's, but they said their backorders were so large that they still would be backordered if you placed today, with no eta on when more were coming at this point. Crazy times . . .

When I ordered three days ago… within 48 hours I had submitted EFT, photo and Docusign.

As a new customer. Freaking quick.
