One of the most interesting finds of the 2019 SHOT Show was the suppressors offered by Thermal Defense Solutions (TDS). TDS leveraged design work conducted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory in support of USSOCOM to produce a whole new breed of suppressors. New technology has finally reached the suppressor industry.

Government Not Processing Suppressor-Transfer Forms During Shutdown, Says ASA
BY S.H. Blannelberry Updated: January 10, 2019“After the checks are cashed, the forms are still being mailed to the NFA Division in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

As a result of the shutdown, forms are stacking up as they are received by the NFA Division.”

BY Clay Martin Updated: February 6, 2018A suppressed .22 LR pistol is fun, but ultimately a .22 LR rifle is more useful. If you have the spare coins, Gemtech’s MIST-22 Integrally Suppressed 10/22 barrel blows the doors off a normal-sized suppressor.
LUNAR 45 Suppressor from Gemtech: One-Can Fits Most – SHOT Show 2018

This suppressor is modular, allowing you to adjust the length to the amount of noise reduction you need. Users can remove two inches, making the can shorter for pistol-length barrels. The LUNAR 45 is usable for not only .45 ACP, but 9mm, .40 S&W, and 10mm.
Welcome to the New Age: SilencerCo’s Maxim 9 Integrally Suppressed 9mm
BY Sean Utley Updated: October 16, 2017Times have changed. In the past, there’s was a claim about pistol suppressors that, up until recently, still had relevance. The claim was that compared to rifle suppressors, pistol suppressors made less sense. On the other hand, a suppressed rifle can hang harmlessly and comfortably on a sling or sit on a bipod allowing the operator to load mags, and do other administrative duties without having to put the firearm in a less than ideal location. This theory held water until now, with the release of SilencerCo’s Maxim 9.

LEO Group Comes Out Against Hearing Protection Act
BY S.H. Blannelberry Updated: September 19, 2017Have you heard of the Law Enforcement Commission for Common Sense (LECCS)? Probably not. I hadn’t either. It’s a coalition of active and retired law enforcement “leaders” (another word for “big city elites”) that was assembled by Gabby Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly to do the bidding of their anti-gun organization Americans for Responsible Solutions.
