Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

One suppressor, multiple hosts. That's the whole point of Rugged's piston system, and this 1/2×36 tpi version lets you run your Obsidian on hosts wearing that thread pitch, which shows up most often on 9mm barrels. Keep a piston on hand for each thread pattern in your safe and moving the can from one gun to another takes seconds, not a trip to the workbench.
Plenty of pistons out there use slotted designs that let gas sneak past. Rugged went a different route with a non-slotted body that creates a full-circumference gas seal. The practical result is noticeably less blowback coming back through the action and into your face, which makes a real difference over a long range day. It also means less carbon getting blasted into places you'll have to scrub later.
Rugged machines this piston from 17-4 stainless steel and heat treats it, so it's ready to handle the abuse a booster assembly dishes out shot after shot. The copper finish gives it a distinct look and makes it easy to spot in a parts bin full of black hardware. At 2.65 inches long with right-hand 1/2×36 threads, it drops right into the Obsidian booster housing.
On tilting-barrel pistols, this piston runs with the booster spring the way you'd expect, letting the action cycle reliably with the added weight of the can up front. If you're mounting on a fixed-barrel host like a carbine or subgun, ditch the spring and run a fixed barrel spacer instead. It's a quick swap, and it keeps everything functioning the way Rugged intended. If your host wears 1/2×36 threads, this is the piece that ties it all together.
This piston is made for Rugged's Obsidian series pistol suppressors and drops into the factory booster assembly. It lets you mount your can on any right-hand 1/2×36 threaded host, a thread pitch you'll most commonly find on 9mm barrels.
Yes, but with one change. On fixed-barrel platforms you need to remove the booster spring and replace it with a fixed barrel spacer. The spring is only needed on tilting-barrel pistols where the booster helps the action cycle reliably.
Most slotted pistons let gas escape back toward the shooter. Rugged's non-slotted body creates a full-circumference gas seal that significantly reduces blowback, so you get less gas and carbon in your face while shooting. It also helps keep the action a bit cleaner over long sessions.
The finish gives the piston a distinctive look, but the durability comes from what's underneath. The piston is machined from 17-4 stainless steel and heat treated, which is a proven combination for parts that take repeated impact and heat inside a booster assembly.
