#SilencerSaturday

Silencer Central has a new model Banish suppressor model, the Banish 46 V2. This week we will take a look at the original Banish 46, and the changes in the V2 model. Let’s dive in.

Welcome back to another installment of Silencer Saturday. Last week we looked at some of the results from the 2024 Thunderbeast Arms Silencer Summit. This week we have a closer look at a very unique silencer that will probably never be tested at that kind of event.

Thunderbeast Arms recently hosted the  2024 Silencer Summit where suppressor manufacturers around the industry met to test their wares. The event gathered data from many of the silencers on the market at the same place and on the same equipment for apples-to-apples comparison. The full results of that test are now published, and they are pretty interesting.

Welcome back to another installment of Silencer Saturday. This week we are taking a trip down memory lane with the long-discontinued YHM Maxim Woodsman .22 LR suppressor. It’s an interesting design, albeit a little dated. Let’s look at this silencer and what it has to offer.

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.

Welcome back to Silencer Saturday! This week’s installment looks at the rather uncommon SilencerCo A2 ASR muzzle device and a related successor. Silencer-compatible muzzle devices can really throw off the look of some guns, particularly older ones. The A2 ASR is an object of desire for the retro crowd, so let’s take a look at what it is, why it was discontinued, and what its spiritual successor is.

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.

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 touched on some basic suppressor metallurgy to understand the correlation between elevated heat and tensile strength. This week we pause our series in observation of Memorial Day 2024 and to remember why this weekend is more than just beer and barbecues.

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.
