Suppressors

SIG Sauer has been aggressively designing, engineering, and winning military contracts since Ron Cohen took over as CEO. When the military told SIG that the suppressors being used by warfighters were venting toxic, carcinogenic fumes back into shooter’s faces through ejection ports and around charging handles, SIG decided to design a low back pressure suppressor line to reduce the amount of toxic gas going back towards the shooter’s nose and mouth. 

There’s likely never going to be a better time than the present to buy a suppressor. The ATF has finally moved the process for buying a suppressor into this century with online eForms that now support electronic Form 4’s. This will substantially cut the time required to purchase and possess a suppressor or silencer. 

Silencer Central has SOT Dealers setup in 42 states which allow them to ship suppressors straight to your house. Check out our interview with Silencer Central during the Big Daddy Unlimited Epic Shoot 2021.

At midnight last night, SilencerCo announced a new Suppressor, the Hybrid 46M. I actually had the opportunity to spend most of the day Saturday at SilencerCo with the new 46M. While there I got to use the sound meter in SilencerCo’s lab as well as test the 46M with multiple calibers and platforms on the range. 

Aptly named the “Primal” the brand new can is designed for big caliber, high-pressure rifle cartridges just like the .450 Marlin.

It’s a little cliché, but I’ll say it anyway: shooting a fully automatic 9mm with a suppressor is about as much fun as you can have with your pants on. And when SilencerCo’s excellent Omega 36M is on the end of the barrel? As they say in certain parts of New York’s underbelly, forget about it.

Like the AR-15, Sig’s new handgun can be customized to fit a specific application or need, and the GGP aftermarket products could be a central part of any high-end custom build.

After shooting these nine suppressor configurations, I faced the tough decision to decide the optimum balance of lowest weight, shortest length and best suppression capabilities. Part of me is tempted to go all out and choose the largest configuration tested, the Raptor 10 with 5″ Reflex.

This is an absolutely fantastic can and one that I highly recommend. I can tell you it is worth the money, and not just with words. I bought the review model for this week. The Nav 22 is staying with papa bear, where it belongs.
