New SilencerCo Osprey 2.0
July 25, 2022
SilencerCo is launching a 2.0 version of their Osprey 9 and Osprey 45 suppressors. The SilencerCo Osprey 2.0 has a change from the original; instead of a lever, there is a button. This button should make the suppressor easier to use. The Osprey 2.0 will begin shipping this month.
The Osprey 2.0 uses a single button to index to a host firearm properly. This will make the Osprey more robust and reliable and allow for a quick and secure alignment. It will also make the suppressor more repeatable, meaning the shooter can put it in the same position on every firearm consistently. Previous Osprey versions used a lever mechanism to align the suppressor.
Aside from the magic button, everything else about the Osprey 2.0 is essentially the same as the original. It has the same sound signature and eccentric design to accommodate standard pistol sights.
“Our goal is to create the best user experience possible,” said SilencerCo Product Manager, Andrew Herbst. “By simplifying the indexing system on the Osprey, we have taken a top performing product and made it quicker and easier to use.”
The SilencerCo Osprey 2.0 is not retrofittable with old Osprey parts. Due to the placement of the ATF required serial number on the back cap, anyone needing to send in their original Osprey to SilencerCo’s Warranty department will receive a repaired suppressor with the same lever mechanism. Customers will continue to be taken care of and can have their original Osprey serviced, it just won’t be replaced with the new button system.
