So on Saturday I was at the range and the RSO is a friend of mine and it was empty range so he got out his new 308 Ruger Gen II rifle with a can. I was impressed with the suppression I didn’t know these things were that good. Basically all I heard was the springs on bipod and firing pin. He was usin…

pretty much suppressors will last the lifetime of the weapon if taken good care of these days. I havent been looking for any new suppressors as of late because i’m holding out until the law suit settles that PSA and GOA put in to remove the NFA from them and SBRs entirely now we dont have to pay th…

I went Banish for mine: Banish-22 (can handle 5.7) and a Banish-45 that I’m running on my 9mms. Taking them up to try with sub-sonic rounds today to get the full effect, but indoors with my normal ammo the suppression really is pretty sweet. Range doesn’t let us shoot without ear pro, so these are m…

Get a .22 can for rimfire and not a 5.56 can. Also, there are some shady things industry wise with Silencer Central and their banish cans. Personally I avoid them. PSA partners with Capital Armory to make buying a can a breeze. Silencer Shop is also another well known vendor.

What are these shady things you speak of so that we can do some research and become better informed?

Mailing wrong cans to people and refusing to fix it is probably the worst thing I’ve read. Do a Google search and you will find plenty of issues, especially on arfcom.

Thanks, yeah was suspect of using 5.56 on rimfire. But rimfire would cover several of my hand guns and 5.57 also. Will check out PSA stuff.

Thanks Steve, informative, yes I will wait a few more days to decide what I will do, NFA thing is annoying, but I had a SBR registered in 2024 for my MP5 just to put a stock on it. I was impressed by the suppressor.

While you could use a 5.56mm suppressor on rimfire, the cleaning would be an issue. Full rifle rounds are hot enough that the whole system is self cleaning. But rimfire is horribly dirty so you need to be able to take it apart relatively easily for cleaning. Plus it’s just overkill to go that way. I…

Yeah, I only shoot CCI these days everything else I have fired is garbage. Tried most of them also and Golden Bullet to the Mexican stuff is total garbage and only use CCI rimfire and hornady for 17 and 22wmr.

I wrote this here and stand by it. But they are almost certainly lifetime purchase. Whether or not you buy before the NFA is (hopefully) largely killed off is up to you. Not sure it matters a whole lot, but it’s a thing.
