In its first year of public evaluation, EchoCore Suppressors made an immediate impact at the 2025 Silencer Summit, taking first and second place in the 5.56mm category with its Sector 5.56 Full Size and Sector 5.56 Compact suppressors. Tested under the industry’s most advanced and transparent standard—Shooter’s Ear (SE) LEQ dBA measurement—EchoCore’s performance marks a decisive debut for the new American manufacturer.
The Silencer Summit represents a gold standard in suppressor performance testing, providing independent, data-driven comparisons across leading brands using real-world acoustic analysis. EchoCore’s dual podium finish highlights the company’s commitment to advancing suppression through precision engineering, additive manufacturing and its XCR (Cross Chamber Regulation) technology—designed to reduce backpressure while maintaining exceptional sound and flash reduction.
“Earning first and second place in our debut year validates everything we’ve worked toward,” said Chris Mudgett, founder of EchoCore Suppressors. “EchoCore was built on the belief that true innovation is alive and well in this industry. Our team’s expertise, discipline, and relentless pursuit of performance are what make these results possible — and this is just the beginning.”
On the heels of this incredible showing, EchoCore has signed an exclusive distributorship agreement with Silencer Shop. Under this new partnership, all five EchoCore models—including the award-winning Sector 5.56 Full Size and Sector 5.56 Compact—are available exclusively through Silencer Shop’s national dealer network. All suppressors are in-stock and shipping now.
“I’m incredibly proud and honored to partner with Silencer Shop,” said Chris Mudgett, Founder of EchoCore Suppressors. “Their reach, professionalism, and commitment to the shooting community are unmatched. For EchoCore to be chosen as an exclusive partner — and across all five models — is an incredible validation of our mission, our technology, and our team.”
