Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Resilient RS9 suppressor?

The Resilient RS9 is a 9mm dedicated suppressor known for its aesthetic design, resembling the PBS-1 Soviet-style suppressor. It features direct thread mounting and detent notches for secure attachment on compatible firearms, offering a balance of performance and unique styling for pistol caliber carbines and handguns.

How is the Resilient RS9 suppressor mounted?

The Resilient RS9 can be mounted via direct thread onto the firearm's barrel or using a hub mount system. For firearms with compatible muzzle threads, it features detent notches that engage with the muzzle device, preventing the suppressor from loosening during firing.

What firearms were tested with the Resilient RS9?

The Resilient RS9 suppressor was tested on a KP9 (a 9mm pistol caliber carbine), an HK SP5 (a 9mm submachine gun), and a 300 Blackout rifle. This showcased its performance across different firearm platforms and calibers.

What is the sound difference between supersonic and subsonic 9mm ammo with the RS9?

When using the Resilient RS9, subsonic 9mm ammunition significantly reduces the sound signature, making the firearm's action cycling the primary audible noise. Supersonic rounds are noticeably louder, though still quieter than unsuppressed fire.

What are the regulatory considerations for owning a suppressor like the Resilient RS9?

Owning a suppressor requires purchasing a $200 federal tax stamp, submitting fingerprints, and undergoing a background check, which places the owner on a federal registry. This process can be time-consuming and is a significant factor for potential buyers.
