#SilencerSaturday

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. This week we are taking a look at a very unique and controversial clone. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been pictured using integrally-suppressed Ruger 10/22 rifles in the past, and what exactly they are used for has been of some debate. But if you want your own clone of this unique suppressor setup there is a turn-key way to get one!

Welcome back to another edition of Silencer Saturday. Last week we looked at suppressing the Beretta Cheetah. This week we’re jumping from little subsonic pistol calibers up to hunting rifles. Last month, TFB writer and OutdoorHub editor Rusty wrote a great piece about why he loves hunting with silencers. That inspired me to share some of my own thoughts on the topic.

Recently, the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has absolutely dominated the news cycle. A silencer featured prominently in that assassination and led to all sorts of wild conjecture about what exactly was used. Another related topic was subsonic ammunition, both whether it was used and whether it would have accounted for the malfunctions seen with the suspect’s gun. This article is going to break down subsonic ammunition, what it is and what it isn’t, and why many of the popular assumptions from video games and the media are not very accurate.

Welcome back once more to Silencer Saturday! Christmas is in the air, so it is time for a holiday gift guide for that silencer lover in your life. Buying gifts for us gun/silencer nerds is not easy, as my wife will attest! Keep reading for a list of gift possibilities at a few different price points.

Welcome back to another edition of Silencer Saturday! The Thanksgiving holiday has passed, we are all full of turkey and stuffing, and the Christmas lights and decorations are going up all around town. That means it is time for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals! I have rounded up some suppressor-centric deals that may grab your attention.

Welcome back to another installment of Silencer Saturday! This week we have another interesting homebuilt integral suppressor. A few weeks back we looked at my buddy Collin's garage-built De Lisle .45 ACP bolt action rifle. That gun used a .303 Enfield that was not of much use for anything else as its base. This time we have something even more unique.

Welcome back to another edition of Silencer Saturday. Last week we took a closer look at the SilencerCo Velos LBP. This week we will be talking about what we may see from the silencer world at SHOT Show 2025. Both the blog and TFBtv teams are gearing up for our full coverage of the upcoming event, and I have a few guesses about trends and new products we may see.

Welcome back to another edition of Silencer Saturday. This week we are looking at the SilencerCo Velos LBP. It is the first reduced backpressure silencer from SiCo, and now that I’ve had some quality hands-on time with mine I have some thoughts to share.

Welcome back to this week’s edition of Silencer Saturday. Last week we looked at a “DIY Lisle” carbine, an interesting second act for an Enfield rifle that had seen better days. This time we are going to look at the US legal and regulatory framework for silencers, and one potential argument for changing it.

This week on Silencer Saturday we have a very unique suppressor. My buddy Collin made his own De Lisle (DIY-Lisle?) carbine, and that seems like the kind of thing you all would be interested in. He answered some questions for me about the gun, and we took it to the range to put a few rounds through it.

Welcome back to another edition of Silencer Saturday. This week we are taking a look at some new silencers from Gemtech. These models swap the original quick detach mounting systems for direct thread mounts. Why might that be something that you want to do? And what are the specific models with changes? Let’s go.
