“suppressor”

Suppressors have been a hot topic in the industry of late—and something that NRA-ILA has been keeping an eye on for hunters, too. Among the hurdles they face though, is a general unfamiliarity from much of the hunting and shooting community. In hopes of turning that tide, the American Suppressor Association hosted a suppressor shoot during the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits outside Nashville, Tenn. last week. American Rifleman's Brian Sheetz had the opportunity to discuss the issue with Association President Knox Williams. Relive their discussion—and learn a few things—with the video embedded here.

The new ultra-lightweight .30-caliber Banish Backcountry is a 100 percent titanium, fully welded, fixed-length suppressor that measures 5.5 inches in length and weighs just 7.8 ounces.

The Banish 46 is a modular suppressor designed for use with a wide assortment of rifle and pistol calibers, and testing has shown that it offers best-in-class noise reduction—more than 34 decibels in its long configuration.

Don't think you need a suppressor? Think again. Suppressors are legal in 42 states and counting, and they're well worth the investment. Don't believe us? Let the guys at Advanced Armament Corp. explain just how suppressors can benefit all firearm owners using their favorite acronym: S.H.A.R.P.

Designed specifically to be used as suppressed pistol ammunition, SUB22 fun to shoot and so quiet through a suppressor that the only audible noise comes from the action.

Born from a partnership between Federal Ammunition and Silencer Central, the Banish Speed K suppressor was developed with an eye toward those in uniform.

SilencerCo had some of its new wares on display at the 145th Annual Meetings and Exhibits. Chief among them was the Hybrid.
