Dead Air Silencers of Heber, Utah, launched Sandman suppressors 10 years ago. Now, after a decade on the market, the company has released the Sandman X. It’s a professional-grade can ready for heavy-duty use that leverages Dead Air’s decades of experience to optimize sound, balance backpressure and eliminate muzzle flash.

On Jan. 1, 2026, the price of a National Firearm Act tax stamp to take ownership of a suppressor dropped from $200 to $0. A flood of eForm applications struck at the stroke of midnight, setting a record estimated at 150,000 that day alone, many of them submitted by hunters.

This new .30-caliber suppressor from Dead Air goes over the barrel, only adding 4.6 inches to the end of your rifle.

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. On the heels of this, EchoCore has signed an exclusive distributorship agreement with Silencer Shop. 

Silencer Central has added SilencerCo suppressors to its special Free Tax Stamp promotion that runs until July 31, 2025.

Yankee Hill Machine has announced the debut of the Victra-12, a new modular sound suppressor designed specifically for 12-gauge shotguns.

Silencer Central applauds the official position on suppressors from the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS/F). The position supports the use of suppressors as vital hearing-protection equipment for shooters.

The use of silencers, er, suppressors, by American hunters is a long overdue trend.

If ever there was a suppressor built for hunters—specifically backcountry hunters who are concerned with every ounce they carry—the Banish Backcountry from Silencer Central is a great choice.
