Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between the Otter Creek Labs Milkman and SilencerCo Omega 9K suppressors?

The Otter Creek Labs Milkman is noted for its lightweight forged aluminum construction, aiming to reduce back pressure. In contrast, the SilencerCo Omega 9K features a traditional stainless steel baffle stack and is generally considered more cost-effective and reliable for 9mm sub-gun platforms.

How does the back pressure compare between the Milkman and Omega 9K suppressors?

During testing on CMMG Banshees, the Otter Creek Labs Milkman appeared to produce more noticeable gas and smoke from the ejection port and sides. While the Omega 9K was also described as 'gashier' at times, the Milkman seemed to exhibit more pronounced back pressure issues.

Which suppressor offers better value for money: the Milkman or the Omega 9K?

Reviewers strongly favored the SilencerCo Omega 9K for its value. They suggested that paying a premium for the Otter Creek Labs Milkman, which costs around $1000, is not justified given the Omega 9K's proven reliability, traditional design, and significantly lower price point.

What are the sound signature differences between the two suppressors?

The SilencerCo Omega 9K was perceived to have a slightly deeper and more pleasing tone. The Otter Creek Labs Milkman's sound signature was sometimes described as 'almost louder,' particularly when firing supersonic ammunition, leading to a preference for the Omega 9K's acoustics.
