Suppressors

Donald Trump doesn’t like suppressors. At all. He told a reporter precisely that last week on the South Lawn of the White House before departing on Marine One.

The Supreme Court decided against hearing petitions from men prosecuted for the illegal manufacture and purchase of suppressors in Kansas.

When ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain this suppressor could be an excellent choice for anyone that needs to carry their rifle far or navigate difficult terrain.

Tactical Solutions dropped two new products at the 2019 SHOT Show and both look promising.

Last week, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), along with Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), John Cornyn (R-TX), Rand Paul (R-KY), James Risch (R-ID), and Mike Crapo (R-ID) introduced a bill that would eliminate the federal regulation of firearm sound suppressors.

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.

OSS has what is probably the most unique gas management system in the world of suppressors. Rather than a baffle stack, gasses are routed forward, backwards, and again forward of the shooter – all in a helical pattern.

“After the checks are cashed, the forms are still being mailed to the NFA Division in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Under normal circumstances, this part of the process accounts for the first one to two weeks of the average NFA transfer. As a result of the shutdown, forms are stacking up as they are received by the NFA Division.”

A 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.
