Silencers

We caught up with B&T at Range Day to test the new kit for ourselves, but we also swung by their booth on the SHOT Show floor to get more details on their line of reasonably priced cans.

Silencer Central attracted tons of SHOT attention with two new titanium and Inconel suppressors: the Banish 338 and the Banish 46.

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.

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.

The Nomad L consistently suppressed sound as well as or better than any of the other cans tested in this review (usually better). The L isn’t the cheapest suppressor on the market, but nothing beats its performance and durability—even more expensive cans.
