TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #121: Ryan from Silencer Central

Silencers have been the talk of the NFA town for the last couple of months. This is largely due to the massive wait times we saw before seemingly disappearing overnight leaving most of us with much more manageable e-form 4 processing times of about a week or less. This has sent ripples through the suppressor and firearm world leading to a bum-rush on all sorts of muzzle devices and suppressor manufacturers desperately trying to keep up with the increased demand that this rare NFA win has given the gun community. We’ve brought on Silencer Central CEO Brandon Maddox in the past to talk shop with Pete, but this time we’re bringing on Ryan H with Sielcner Central to talk about what he’s seen behind the scenes when it comes to selling suppressors in this new era. Today we’ll talk about all things silencers, how easy it is now to complete the process, and also talk a bit about Silencer Central’s own line of suppressors in the Banish series.

The Rimfire Report: Federal Game-Shok 38gr CPHP 22LR

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its many different types of guns, shooting sports, ammunition, and history! Last week we covered Ruger’s first-ever firearm, the Standard .22LR pistol. While the pedigree of the Ruger Standard pistol is still cherished today, as many of you pointed out, the pistols were pretty unreliable and inaccurate back in the day - modern examples are a much better example of what Ruger was probably going for upon the initial release of the Standard. Today and over the rest of the year we will be getting back into ammunition testing - both in Clear Ballistic gelatin, and also through chronographs and one type of rifle to give you guys a general idea of the performance you can expect from every kind of ammunition. To kick off this new set of ammunition tests we’ll first be testing Federal’s Game-Shok 38-grain Copper Plated Hollow Point 22LR Ammunition. This ammunition from Federal claims to be suitable for hunting small game and should provide the user with an “accurate and consistent” load for shot-to-shot accuracy on presumably squirrel-sized targets.
