Suppressor

10mm ammo is getting popular, again, and Springfield Armory has added a 10mm to their XD-M OSP lineup. This gun is both optics and suppressor-ready, plus all the things you love about the XD-M.

Rebel Silencers is a company that has been around for a decent while, but lately, I heard of them for my first time. When I saw what they had to offer at the price that they were offering it at, I had to get my hands on one of their suppressors and put it to the test. The suppressor that I chose is the SOS-450; a can that they designed specifically with the 450 Bushmaster and 458 Socom in mind. Luckily for me, I just so happen to have a 450 Bushmaster that I wanted to hush.

Arguably the least development we have seen on new firearms is in the submachine gun arena. Once the coolest kid on the block, sub guns were a staple of counter-terrorism forces, the world over. Despite many attempts to usurp it, the MP-5 was far and away the weapon of choice.

At a time when “silencers” were mostly the playthings of nerds and collectors, AAC brought attitude. From the skulls in the logo to the idea you should not only use your can, but use the hell out of it, they were a breath of fresh air. Two and a half decades in, they still feel young at heart. So it is with great pleasure this week I get to write about new options.

What is more fun than shooting big, loud guns? Shooting big, quiet guns and that is a tested and proven fact. I had the opportunity to use the Silencerco Hybrid 46 suppressor and jumped on it because of my large collection of various caliber guns.

StingerWorx aimed for hunters with its new suppressor. Lightweight and modular—its likely to help hunters in places where suppressor hunting is legal.

SIG Sauer’s new Suppressed Upper Receiver was designed for SOCOM, and we got to shoot it at SHOW Show. It’s chambered in 300 BLK, and its integrated suppressor is welded to the barrel and since it’s 16″ overall it only requires one stamp to own it.

One reason that the Ugly Suppressor is so cool is because the gasses are not designed to stay trapped within the suppressor itself. Instead, the gasses flow through an elongated path which allow them to cool without generating extra back pressure. This suppressor design is perfect for semi-auto guns because the ejection speed is not affected by a pressure spike.

GOA along with the GOF are filing an appeal in the Tenth Circuit court that could have an effect on how the National Firearms Act is applied.
