Rugged Suppressors Launches the Obsidian 45
The Industry’s Quietest 45 Pistol Suppressor

Obsidian-disassembled

Travelers Rest, SC – Dec. 31, 2015 – Rugged Suppressors, the company that created the industry’s first-ever modular rifle suppressor with the Surge 762, has now launched the industry’s quietest 45 pistol suppressor—the Obsidian 45.

This new multi-caliber, modular pistol suppressor meters at an industry-leading 129.3 decibels dry on .45ACP. Constructed of aluminum and 17-4PH stainless steel, the Obsidian 45 also comes with Adapt Modular Technology. The Adapt module allows users to configure the Obsidian in a standard 8.6” to a 6.7” short configuration within seconds. It’s full-auto rated for pistol calibers up-to .45 ACP can be used with 300 Blackout subsonic rifle ammunition.

“We’re known for our modular suppressors,” said Henry Graham, President of Rugged Suppressors, “so when we were designing our introductory pistol offering, we knew it had to be modular. What you have with the Obsidian is a no compromise 45 suppressor that customers can choose to configure themselves.

The Obsidian 45’s namesake comes from the tough, naturally occurring volcanic glass made from cooled lava. And it lives up to its name. It comes with an unconditional lifetime warranty. (Drop it from a mountaintop and Rugged will fix it or replace it free of charge.)

In keeping with a mantra of creating innovative products that upset the industry, Rugged has chosen to serialize the suppressor mount instead of the tube.

“We strategically place the engraving on the thickest cross section of the 17-4 stainless steel mount for fast and easy replacement should the suppressor become damaged beyond repair.” said Michael Derdziak, CEO “It also serves to make the Obsidian infinitely upgradable in the future.”

The Obsidian 45 is available immediately for shipping with a suggested retail price of $850. Visit obsidian45.com for more information or to find a dealer near you.

    Sneak Peek – Spuhr G3 Stock

    Sunday, December 27th, 2015

     

    This is the new Spuhr G3 stock developed for a military contract that will be fulfilled in Spring 2016. Once that contract is underway, Spuhr will offer the stock commercially, beginning Fall 2016. Look for it at both SHOT Show amd IWA. LOP is from 12.7″ and that is approx 3″ shorter than the original stock. The Cheekpiece is interchangeble to different heights but is always at least 1″ higher than the original and made for the use of optical sights. That means current “too low” iron sights can’t be used. Finally, the G3 original buffer will be kept in the gun.

    SureFire – Warden Blast Diffuser

    SureFire’s Warden Blast Diffuser is a muzzle device designed to direct the concussive blast of the muzzle forward, rather than to the side as found with many muzzle break devices. This not only reduces overpressure and flash felt by others to either side of a shooter’s firing position, but also aids in minimizing dust signature when firing from a prone position. The Warden attaches to any SureFire 5.56 or 7.62 SOCOM muzzle device using the same Fast-Attach system found on the SOCOM suppressor series.
