SILENCERS & SUPPRESSORS

Silencers, Silencer Adapters, and the Art of Suppressing a Rifle

While we are a Powdered by Silencer Shop dealer we STRONGLY urge our customers to discuss all options and available products with us closely before purchasing a silencer. The silencer market is flooded with low quality to medium quality products that come with heavily financed marketing campaigns just like the handgun marketplace. More often dealers and websites will promote and push silencers that they have a special promo available with so their profit margin is maximized. We choose to professionally recommend the very BEST silencer for the application regardless of profit margin. If we don’t own it and shoot it ourselves, we won’t sell it, PERIOD. Additionally, the most critical thing is making sure your rifle is properly tuned for suppressed use. We will check your gas port diameter, open if needed, and properly install an adjustable gas operating system. We will also check the buffer and buffer spring weight to make sure both the front end and back end of the rifle is ready and prime for suppressed shooting. GSL Technology, Thunder Beast Arms, Surefire, and Bowers are the top 4 silencer brands we often pair with our firearms. We never recommend multi-caliber silencers simply because it will not be the most effective at anything, more a jack of all trades, but master of none.

When it comes to precision shooting GSL and Thunder Beast silencers are the very best. You won’t see a 5 round group feature 1 or 2 flyers on your target, but rather a solid one hole knot on target. Thunder Beast is our go to for our .50BMG rifles as they’re the lightest in weight and the shooter will experience least amount of felt recoil. GSL makes some exclusive silencers for us that you won’t ever see on their website. We are proud partners with GSL on the Hornet specifically for 6.5 Creedmoor and 6mm ARC. These can be either QD or Direct Thread. When it comes to dedicated 5.56mm silencers no one can come close to the GSL. It’s by far the most quiet and accurate silencer ever put out. When shooting with a shot timer you can expect the shot to be so muffled your time will not start recording!

Surefire is another brand we recommend for their capability to endure the most extreme environments and ability to handle automatic gun fire with minimal wear and tear. Bowers is our exclusive for super high velocity varmint cartridges and also our .458SOCOM. They’re a great company with outstanding products.
