I'm still biased and just want to see it up against a Leonidas and Tirant9. Those are the only two I own, and SilcencerCo's numbers put it equal with the Tirant, and handily beating the Leo. I know there's more to it than a number, but with a .35 bore, I don't see how it could whoop my Leo.

I'd like to see it up against a SDN-6 as well since it's one of the more popular cans for 300 BLK. Same tests, side by side. I'd also be curious to know if the Omega has the same "wobble" notorious of the SDN-6. I realize that's not an inhibitor for the SDN-6, just curious if the Omega experiences the same thing or not in a QD application.

SiCo told me its not rated for 300WM. This is why I got a SpecWar, thinking on picking up a Omega for 308's and smaller ar's...

SilencerCo's own website rates it up to 300WM.

Guns are tools designed for dirty work both competitive and defensive. If I meet someone with a well worn gun, I hope their barrel is pointed the same direction as mine if the lead starts flying...

My understanding is it will have the option of a flat end-cap, to replace the "Harvester" brake.

If you have one, how short does it make it? How does it effect suppression?

I'm guessing close to an inch shorter, and no change for the 300BLK.

Seeing that SiCo now states it handles the 300WM too, that pushed me over the edge. I just submitted my order thru SilencerShop.com. I'll have a bit of a ride to go get it from the closest dealer but that will give me a chance to put some more miles on the Ninja! :D Wooohoooo, now I got 2 in nfa jail! lol
