Suppressors mitigate a rifle’s report to decibel thresholds deemed safe by OSHA, enhance accuracy and lessen recoil. Here are the top five suppressors fit for various hunting scenarios.

Founded in a garage in West Valley City, Utah, in 2008, suppressor maker SilencerCo was launched when two friends—Josh Waldron and Jonathon Shults—decided they could make a better suppressor for a .22 rimfire handgun than what was already on the market. It worked—and the company has grown exponentially since that day. Here are 10 things you probably didn't know about SilencerCo.

NRA-ILA Commends Iowa Governor Terry Branstad for signing a bill into law last week legalizing the use of suppressors in the Hawkeye State.

NRA-ILA says Feb. 11 marked a great day for hunters as the Great Lakes State legalized hunting with suppressors.

Here’s why you should start the process of purchasing a suppressor now.

While firearm suppressors protect hunters’ and shooters’ hearing, their regulation under the National Firearms Act of 1934 requires buyers to fill out an application, pay a $200 tax and go through a time-consuming background check—and that’s in the 41 states that permit them.

With more and more states legalizing the common sense practice of hunting with suppressors to protect our hearing, more hunters than ever will take their rifles afield this year with new devices attached to their muzzles.

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.
