#Suppressors

Dead Air Silencers has released the new Lazarus 6 that promises to be, well, everything. The Utah suppressor giant claims unparalleled sound suppression with minimal back pressure and maximum durability, checking every box for hard-use, high-performance tactical applications. Let’s take a closer look at the Lazarus 6 and see how this suppressor sets itself apart from the pack.

In my time working a gun counter, I have sold a lot of silencers. But I have also had the “what silencer should I buy?” conversation at least five times for every silencer sold. So what is the right first silencer to buy? I can’t answer that for you, but I can help you ask the right questions.

There's another silencer deregulation bill making the rounds in Washington D.C. The Silencers Help Us Save Hearing Act (SHUSH Act) aims to take silencers out of regulation under the National Firearms Act (NFA), among other things. This is not the first time a SHUSH Act has been introduced, and this iteration has some interesting changes.

B&T USA have announced the introduction of their new line of 3D printed suppressors, the Print-X family which includes Rotex and SRBS (Slimline Reduced Backpressure System) models! The Print-X line is manufactured using laser bed fusion techniques. Depending on model these weldless cans are made from either 100% titanium or 718 Inconel. The Print-X Rotex and SRBS are available in both 5.56 and 7.62 variations as well as various sizes including Mini-K, Compact and Full. B&T USA says the suppressors are available globally now.

Silencers are a great firearm accessory to add to your collection - there simply aren’t any real negatives to purchasing and using a suppressor. Our guest today, Silencer Shop CEO Dave Matheny agrees. Today Dave and I will discuss the current status of the NFA world including what’s really going on with wait times a couple of months after the initial surge, how suppressor manufacturers are keeping up with the increased demand, and how Silencer Shop can help you buy your first, second, or 100th suppressor and make sure your whole family can enjoy them for years to come. Please welcome back Dave Matheny of Silencer Shop to the show!

SilencerCo have acquired Zev Technologies with the aim of supporting Zev’s shift away from OEM manufacturing to reinforcing their brand as a developer of innovative products like the OZ9 Pistol and the Folding Defensive Pistol (FDP-9) and the Folding Defensive Carbine (FDC-9).

Good evening everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. Last week we discussed holsters for suppressed pistols and a handful of models currently on the market. This week we get out our pocket protectors and nerd caps and talk about the importance of the optimal twist rate for a specific bullet length when shooting a suppressed platform. Fear not, there is no test at the end of today’s lesson. Let’s take a look.

Good evening everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. Last week we revisited the S&W M&P 15-22 and the Gemtech INTEGRA integrally suppressed upper. This week we discuss our NFA Grail Guns and the hypothetical question of ‘if money were no object, what would you buy’. So, what is your list of NFA firearms that you’d buy if you hit the Powerball jackpot?

Good evening everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. Last week we discussed some sound science and the reasons that breaking the sound barrier isn’t tamed with even the best performing suppressors. This week we spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon with the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 and the Gemtech INTEGRA integrally suppressed upper receiver. This is one of those combinations that captures the pure summer fun of plinking or target shooting. Let’s take a look.

Good evening everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. Today’s episode is a continuation of our basic knowledge series that pulls back the curtain on sound science for suppressor lovers and the physical properties of making gunshots quieter. Let’s take a look.

Luke C is at the National Rifle Association’s 153rd Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Dallas, Texas checking out the new BOE Suppressors booth and their new user-serviceable nested monocore modular suppressor – the BOE Mod-1. The Mod-1 is a modification of their Ultra Compact Suppressor lineup. Like their predecessors, the Mod-1 lineup is rated for magnum hunting calibers like 375 H&H or 338RUM. The Mod-1 lineup has improved thermal dispersion, has thicker wear surfaces and can be configured to fit any aftermarket QD setup with 1.375-24 threads. BOE Model-1 should be available for purchase for around $1,200 around the end of June 2024.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. Last week we took a trip back in time to my first suppressor purchase – the 9mm Liberty Mystic. This week we dig in to a bit of alloy metallurgy with a look at the properties of some of the most popular silencer alloys. Should you buy a titanium or steel suppressor? Let’s take a look.

Editor’s Note: The laws and regulations surrounding the National Firearms Act (NFA) are complicated. Know and understand your local, state, and federal laws before making any alterations to firearms and suppressors. I personally believe that NFA regulations shouldn’t exist, but until the laws are repealed, make sure to stay safe and legal.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. Last week we took a look at the SIG Sauer SLX556C, an ultra compact 5.56 rifle suppressor. This week we finally get our hands on the YHM Bad Larry suppressor, a .338 bore can that can handle anything from .338 LM down to 5.56×45. Since I am still trying to figure out the best 8.6 Blackout testing platform, I’ll be shooting its little brother – subsonic 300BLK. Let’s take a look.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. I would like to thank Erik for running point on last weeks edition with a look at the very obtainable suppressors from The Nordic region. This week we get back on the range with a simple and compact direct thread rifle suppressor – the SIG Sauer SLX556C. When it comes to longer barrels and supersonic rifle rounds, compact silencers are a blessing. Let’s take a look at this small but mighty can from SIG.
