So now that I bought a Q El Camino for my .22’s I’ve been bitten by the supressor bug and, “What can I get next?” Looking at a Ruger American Ranch Rifle in 300 Blackout.

Doing my research and trying to figure out a supressor for it. One option is something like a Rugged Obsidian 9, it is rated for 300 Blackout and I could also use it on my Shadow Systems MR920 which already has a threaded barrel. Just wondering if something sized for .30 caliber might be quieter.

Do you plan on shooting supers? The Obsidian is rated for .300 subsonic only. You have to check 9mm suppressors. Many are not rated for supers.

Thank you, I didn’t realize that. That’s definitely off the list now. Do not want the possibility of mixing ammo and having bad things happen.

Otter Creek Labs Lithium 9 is smaller and lighter than the Rugged Obsidian and can handle both subs and supers in 300BLK. I don't have a 300BLK anymore but I love it on my 9mm pistols and Mp5 clone.

That being said, unless you don't mind changing suppressor mounts at the range (…the pistol will require a PISTON mount while the rifle will need some sort of QD or direct-thread setup...) then I'd just buy a dedicated suppressor for each caliber/platform.. Especially since the buying process has gotten so much more streamlined.

I currently swap mounts between a piston for the pistols and a tri-lug adapter for the Mp5 clone but I'll probably be picking up a dedicated pistol suppressor here soon.

I agree. I find switching between the piston and fixed mounts, while easy a pain in the butt and I would rather have a rifle setup and pistol setup. That said, I do use a .30 cal gun for my AR15 300BO and with subs it is pretty quiet. I have not tried it with a 9mm can rated for 300BO.

Bitten by the bug eh? You're back for #2! I've been really happy so far with my Canik Void 9, it's a modern 3D printed 9mm can that's also rated for 300blk supersonic (min 9" barrel for supers). For dual purpose 9mm/300 it's easier to scale a pistol suppressor up than it is to go rifle can down. The Void 9 is 1.375" diameter so if you have pistol suppressor height sights you can see fine, and even if you don't you can make it work.

As m499 was talking about, switching mounts isn't all that much trouble, you just have to wait around for the hot can to cool off to get a wrench on it. That's part of the reason most of with the bug eventually end up with dedicated suppressors

I haven't run my Void 9 on 300blk yet, but I'll bet it would work pretty well. My 300 blk can is an Omega 300, which used is good. The Omega is a 10 year old design and if I were buying today for a 300 blk, it would be the Liberty Precision Machine Anthem S2. Liberty studied the Omega and made it better.

Well a Dead Air Nomad 30 is on the way. Basic, available and reasonably priced. Will be used on my Ruger Ranch in .300 Blackout and probably my Ruger Scout in .308, May try it on my Winchester 70 in 6.5 Creedmoor. Liked the idea of it being direct thread which is what I need for now with the capability of going to a qd setup in the future.

Also figured with the recent midterms, buy another now while the process is still easy and inexpensive.

My local guy recommended the Dead Air Wolfman.

I haven't gotten to try it yet, but sure would like to.

I'll be looking forward to your impressions of the Nomad.

all I can say is time has passed the wolfman bye.
Not hub, heavy, not great sound, etc. etc.
Choose something else would be my advice as someone who has several that sit in the safe.

I tried my Nomad 30 on .300 BO, and thought it was OK, but the smaller and lighter Griffin Explorr sounded about the same. My Hexium 762 sounded better than either and was lower backpressure too.
