so are these made in China like everything else made by Blackhawk?
Damn! (Non suppressed) shots fired!
Actually, about 65% of Blackhawk’s product is made in the USA, including these.
Really? Current products? Everything I ever pick up off of the shelves says it’s made in Vietnam. I know that some of their older, US made gear still exists though. I’ve got an old 3 day bag from them that was made in the US.
Pick up more then.
Not sure you’re aware but Blackhawk is a brand name owned by ATK, who also owns Eagle Industries.
Not a fan of their products, but I do own a rigger’s belt from them pre-acquisition made in the USA and actually rated for use as safety equipment.
As for suppressors, not my area of expertise but I’m guessing that more choice and competition (assuming these are decently priced) can only be good for the consumer.
Assuming they make a quality product. A suppressor is certainly not a bag or holster.
Why does it matter? American made doesn’t mean anything, I had plenty of expensive items made in USA that exhibited poor quality or even fell apart while similar products from China are much more durable and of course cheaper too.
Both America and China can produce quality and they can both put out junk.
Who in their right mind will think an AK built by IO or Century is better than a Norinco?
Blackhawks imported stuff is from Vietnam, and same story. The few Blackhawk pouches and non Serpa holsters I had before held up fine. I have a Uniqlo fleece jacket that is very well made while my Oakley FR gloves look like they’re falling apart within a few months of use
Suppressors are generally not importable items for civilian sales so I would guess that they are not.
Man, the suppressor market keeps growing!
What is meant by direct thread mount?
That’s where you screw right unto the end of a threaded barrel
That you don’t need a muzzle device, just screw it on.
it means they couldn’t get the SERPA to work right,
Honoring a vow of silence?
These look extremely familiar. I do hope that SiCo is producing them on a variance, otherwise they are blatant ripoffs.
Spectre II – Pulse Rimfire
Octane 45 – Smoke Stack .45 Pistol
Omega 9K – Mini Boss 9mm and .300 Blackout
Specwar 556 – Barrage 5.56 Rifle
Omega – Gas Can 7.62 Rifle
Harvester – Carnivore .300 Win Mag
Harvester Big Bore – Wraith .338 Lapua Mag
Well, they are both metal cylinders. Other than that, they don’t look THAT similar considering none of SiCo’s cans have the hexagonal design on the sides and the design on the front.
It’s more than just the similarity in the fact that they are round. If you look at the actual designs, you can see very similar aspects from SiCo Cans. For example the entire baffle construction of the Gas Can 7.62 is the exact same on the inside. Using the same style sleeved core, same mount attachment method. Other things like the small details on the Smoke Stack are still present, there are just crazy cuts on the outer tube to make them look different.
All these lead me to believe that they have to be licensed designs by SilencerCo. If it was just one or two cans(a la Griffin Armament), it would be one thing, but the entire lineup is copy and pasted with hex cuts.
First thing that came to mind when I saw this. I own numerous SiCo fans and the stuff that matters (not the hex cuts) are essentially identical. These must be rebranded or ripoffs. The QD mount is ASR, the direct thread for the Omega, I mean Gas Can is the same. The list above is matched spot on. It’s unabashed copying if not licensed. Even the form factor of the pistol piston is the same.
I own CANS, not fans. Though I am a fan. Maybe I should double check before posting more.
lol
Line of silencers with no weights mentioned… Walk away.
Weights? How about decibels?
I spoke to Sico today about the Blackhawk line of suppressors. They (Sico) licensed their technology to Blackhawk, but they are not the manufacture of the cans. He didn’t know who is actually doing the manufacturing.
Well at least it’s not infringing on IP.
Licensed, not infringing, and adding more choice to the market?
I see nothing wrong with this. The more silencers on the market the higher the chance of getting legislation repealed that limit the use of silencers.
They are going for low pricing as well which may help bring even more people into the suppressor market.
