The Osprey and Octane family of suppressors share pistons that are easily changeable for different host weapons or subcalibers. These pistons are also interchangeable between 45 and 9mm silencers. Pistons are constructed from 17-4 stainless steel and then heat treated for maximum durability. The piston is part of the Nielsen device that moves and allows semi-automatic cycling, but it also contains the female threads that attach to the muzzle of the host pistol or sub-gun. These pistons are easily interchangeable for compatibly with all relevant host guns and can be changed out to be compatible with subcaliber host guns, which means you can shoot smaller caliber rounds through the same suppressor, making it a multi- caliber silencer.
