[SHOT 2025] The TINY Silencer Central Banish 9K

Silencer Central has a shockingly small new 9mm suppressor, the Banish 9K. It uses advanced manufacturing techniques to squeeze a lot of suppression into a very small package. And it is so light (less than 3 ounces!) that it doesn’t need a booster assembly to function.

The new Banish 9K is an ultra-lightweight suppressor made of 3D-printed titanium. It weighs in at a staggeringly low 2.7 ounces. It is so lightweight that it does not need a Nielsen device (aka booster) to operate on tilting-barrel pistols. I had the opportunity to fire it on both a Springfield Hellcat and a full auto Glock 18, and both functioned. I also fired it on a PCC setup with a fixed barrel in the same configuration with no need for a fixed barrel spacer or separate direct thread mount in lieu of a piston.

Silencer Central also managed to make the Banish 9K very quiet despite the fact that it is the size of a robust dill pickle. It is only 4.1 inches long by 1.3 inches in diameter. Though it is tiny it has eight baffles. The Silencer Central people would not tell me what design wizardry went into the design of those baffles but did say that additive manufacturing allowed many interesting new things. The design is also rated for calibers from 5.7x28 to 9mm, as well as .300 Blackout (subsonic only).

Two standard thread pitches are available, 1/x28 and 13.5x1LH. Both retail for $699 and are listed on the Silencer Central website for sale.

From the manufacturer:

If you were to close your eyes and envision what the perfect 9mm suppressor would be, you’d undoubtedly imagine something short, light, and quiet. When BANISH’s engineers set out to create a new suppressor, they came up with the same idea. The funny thing with engineers, though, is that once they have the idea, they set out to create something that meets every aspect of the concept – And oh boy, did they ever exceed expectations with the development of the BANISH 9K.

The BANISH 9K is the ultimate 9mm suppressor. It is made from 100% high-grade titanium for amazing strength and lightweight. The 3D-printed 9K is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right – 2.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry a possibility with the BANISH 9K suppressor.
