TFB Behind the Gun #166: Mike Slack of Engaged Industries

Mike Slack has been hard at work for years developing and designing suppressors. His new company, Engaged Industries, and their first two suppressors, the Operator and Recon, are trying to do their best to revolutionize  as well as educate the suppressor world. Mike’s two suppressors share a unique design that capitalizes on fluid dynamics and vacuum characteristics to create a lightweight, high-performing, and quiet suppressor that also doesn’t behave like old-school high-backpressure suppressors. Mike has also developed his own quieter “Stealth LoK” QD system, which also has a bunch of other small design features that make it an improvement over a lot of other offerings already on the market. To hear those details and more, tune into this week’s episode of TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast featuring Mike Slack of Engaged Industries.
