In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews the 3D-printed titanium CGS Hyperion and discusses whether titanium silencers are worth the cost. James compares the Hyperion to offerings from Dead Air like the Nomad and Nomad-Ti, and the Surefire SOCOM65-TI. Check the review and the titanium overview on TFBTV. Note that the Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro Chassis in 6.5CM was used with the CGS Hyperion in this video.

Good afternoon shooters and thank you for joining us for another edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the awesome YHM Turbo K rifle suppressor. Last week we dove into the TacSol Pac-Lite IV TSS integral suppressor for the Ruger Mark IV and 22/45 line of .22LR pistols. This week we stick with our rimfire journey and take a brief glimpse at the SureFire SF RYDER 22. Or maybe shine a light on its suppression levels or Illuminate its features? Ok, I’m done.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at SilencerCo speaking with Beaver, the in-house firearm expert, about five unusually good suppressor host guns. This video features a handful of guns that are not very common but work really well with suppressors for a number of different reasons. Check these out today on TFBTV.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the award-wining YHM Turbo K 5.56mm rifle suppressor. Last week we tested the Rugged Oculus, a superb rimfire silencer with modular features. This week we take a dive into the integrally suppressed rimfire world with the Tactical Solutions Pac-Lite IV TSS for the Ruger Mark IV line of pistols. It looks fantastic, but how does it sound? Let’s give it a shot.

There is nearly an endless amount of semi-auto shotguns available on the market today to choose from. However, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like the VRF14 before. The new VRF14 from Rock Island Armory is the company’s newest offering that takes the concept of a Mossberg Shockwave or Remington TAC-14 and melds it with the gas-operated shotgun concept. The new Firearm has just been announced and as such, no information on pricing or availability has been made yet.

Few things in life are as universally loved as integrally suppressed firearms. From the MP5SD to guns like the Maxim 9 and AS VAL, there is just something unique and fascinating about integrally suppressed arms. That is why B&T is excited to announce the introduction of their precision bolt-action .300 Blackout integrally suppressed rifle, the SPR300 PRO.

Texas-based Radical Firearms has grown over the years, from a hobby to a small retail store to a full-scope Title II NFA Gun Manufacturer. From their humble beginnings handling FFL transfers and assembling a small number of ARs, they now operate a full suite of CNC machines and other manufacturing equipment which allows them to produce all major firearms components in-house except for barrels, BCGs, stocks, and a few small parts like springs and pins. They source these remaining items from trusted partners specializing in those parts. Now Radical is introducing a new product: the Sinter suppressor.

Good afternoon suppressor fans and welcome to the 184th edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by our friends at Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the awesome YHM Turbo K. Last week we tested the Dead Air Mask rimfire silencer. This week we take a peek at another industry leader – the Rugged Oculus rimfire suppressor. Modular, strong, and most importantly, quiet, the Rugged Oculus is definitely a fan favorite. So how do you choose between any of the industries best rimfire silencers?  Honestly, since I own multiple rimfire cans for different hosts, I’m not sure I’m going to be of much help. But let’s give it a go.

Hello suppressor fans and welcome to the Independence Day weekend edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the awesome YHM Turbo and Turbo K 5.56mm rifle suppressors. Last week we compared the SilencerCo Octane 45HD and the newer Octane 45 pistol caliber suppressors. This holiday weekend I set out to right a wrong – finally a dedicated review of one of the best rimfire suppressors ever made – the Dead Air Mask. If rimfire is life, then the Mask is the fountain of youth, delivering years of enjoyable super-quiet shooting. Let’s take a look.

Shootah (a portmanteau of “shoot” and “Utah”) is an annual range day featuring Utah-based gun businesses. Shootah 2021 was hosted at the Garth Killpack shooting range in Springville, Utah. The range sits at the mouth of Hobble Creek Canyon and has recently undergone an expansion.

With all the focus from Ruger recently being on their new MAX-9 micro-compact 9mm, I was surprised to see just last week the announcement of a new accessory from one of their pistols released in 2020. Ruger just announced the addition of an LCP II 22LR Threaded Barrel Kit for their Lite Rack pistol. Although I never even considered putting a suppressor on my own LCP II Lite Rack, suppressors in general just make everything more fun and enjoyable so perhaps this might be something I pick up.

Good afternoon everyone and thank you for joining us for another edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM R9 multi-caliber suppressor. Last week we got a peek at the new SIG Sauer MODX-9 3D printed pistol caliber suppressor. This week we compare the SilencerCo Octane 45 with the original Octane 45HD. Can you go home again, even if your parents turned your room into a home gym? Let’s find out.

Aidan Johnston, Director of Federal Affairs for the GOA announced via his Twitter yesterday (June 25th, 2021) that the previous judgment regarding Gun Owners of America v. Garland has been vacated via a three-judge panel. This essentially means that the panel ruled that bump stocks are not machine guns. This is a victory for the 2nd Amendment community even if you’re not a fan of the bump stock. The battle determining the legality of bump stocks has been raging on for quite some time and the GOA has been working to restore these firearms accessories back to legal status as non-machineguns since they were first banned on March 26th of 2019.

With the ongoing and continually increasing proliferation of sound suppressor usage in many areas of the firearms industry, new manufacturers with new innovations have been frequently cropping up for quite some time now. One company that has gained some notoriety in recent years is OSS Suppressors. This Utah-based operation’s principal claim to fame comes in the form of their patented “Flow-Through” silencer design. Cans with this unique engineering system are advertised as having the ability to eliminate gas blowback by redirecting the gases forward, through a helical system of internal chambers and out of a series of edge-positioned ports at the front of the silencer. Now this noted silencer maker has announced a new partnership with another noteworthy entity from a different segment of the firearms industry, Centrifuge Training.

Machine gun enthusiasts received a bit of bad news recently with a News Alert from Kenny Sumner – the owner of the Knob Creek Gun Range. This year’s October 2021 Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot will be the last one. The news was discovered via a picture of a printed and signed letter breaking the sad news – the end of the shoot. For years people have been coming to the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot to get the rare opportunity to shoot full-auto and other NFA firearms that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to get their hands on.

Lone Wolf has entered the silencer market by introducing the ELIMIN8R .45 modular pistol suppressor. Its modularity is in the possibility to change its overall length by installing the needed number of baffles. This suppressor is designed in cooperation with Primary Weapons Systems. Let’s see what features it packs.

Hello everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM R9 multi-caliber suppressor. Last week we held our breath and suppressed some full-power 10mm rounds. This week we take away one millimeter to honor the silencer gods and check out the SIG Sauer MODX-9 modular, titanium, 3D printed, 9mm suppressor. Finally, after drooling over the SIG MODX line-up at SHOT 2019, I finally get some trigger time of my own. Was it worth the wait? Let’s find out.

Griffin Armament has just made it possible to use some of their most popular CAM-LOK equipped suppressors with fixed barrel guns via the release of their new CAM-LOK Adapter. The new adapter is a direct replacement for the QD CAM-LOK piston system that will allow suppressors like the Griffin Optimus Micro, and Resistance 22M to be used on guns with fixed barrels.

Recently the Nephi City (Utah) Police Department selected B&T USA to provide them Heckler & Koch MP7 suppressors. That’s the topic for our Photo Of The Day, and you have most likely already identified the Aimpoint Micro red dot with magnifier already.

Good afternoon shooters and welcome back to another edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday, brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM R9 suppressor. Last week we checked out the Q Erector 9 modular pistol suppressor. Today we add a millimeter to just the tip and see what it’s like to suppress full power 10mm Auto. The results? Let’s take a look.

Like a thirst quenching downpour after a long drought, or what’s now known as the 2021 Gun Frenzy, SilencerCo lower receivers are now available through major distributors. The SCO15 AR-15 lowers were originally released as a limited run item through retailers like Brownells. If you’re interested, let your dealer know that these lowers are available at the distributors listed below. It’s never a bad thing to have a quality lower on hand.

Good afternoon fellow silencer enthusiasts and welcome back to another edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by my friends at Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM Turbo K 5.56 rifle suppressor. Last week we shot the H&K MARK 23 with the KAC MK23 suppressor; probably the most famous suppressed pairing in history. This week we get something new for the pistol platform: the Q Erector 9 modular 9mm suppressor. It’s light. It’s modular. But is it quiet? Let’s take a look.

Tucked away in the Salt Lake Valley, and hidden underneath 72,000 sqft of manufacturing space lies the SilencerCo Batcave.  Located beneath the manufacturing floor is a massive collection of firearms inside a range spanning 75 yards.  During a recent visit, TFBTV’s very own James Reeves and I had an opportunity to tag along and photograph this massive collection.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves visits SilencerCo to talk about the SilencerCo Maxim 9. James and Jake of SilencerCo talk about the past, present, and future of this ambitious project, and even shoot the only full-auto Maxim 9, which fires at a blistering 1,300 rounds per minute (the notoriously fast Glock 18 fires at 1,100 rounds per minute). If you aren’t familiar with the Maxim 9, according to SilencerCo:

Silencer Shop, the largest suppressor distributor in the U.S., is launching the 4473 Cloud service for FFLs. Before your eyes glass over and you jump to your other daily news sources – for example:  live shark tracker, or naked yoga on YouTube (find it yourself) – anything that brings the firearms industry from the stone tablet age into the digital world is a great thing.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM R9 multi-caliber suppressor. Last week we knit-picked our own James Reeves on his faulty rifle suppressor caliber analysis. This week we take a look at what is probably the most famous firearm/suppressor combination ever built: the Heckler & Koch MARK 23 (MK 23) pistol and Knight’s Armament MK23 suppressor. Let’s take a look at why the H&K and KAC MK23 setup is a must-have for silencer fans.

Stealth Project is a Minnesota-based suppressor manufacturer that has a pretty unique lineup of suppressors. Stealth Project Suppressors markets their silencers as being free from point of impact shift, hearing safe, and free from the risk of baffle strikes. Nathan Stieren, the CEO of Alliance Outdoor Group announced that Stealth Project would be added to the family of brands on May 21st.

OSS is known for its unique approach to suppressor design which mitigates blowback. The Flow-Baffles have seen a recent generational improvement and have been added to the RAD 22 rimfire suppressor to create the new and Improved RAD 22. The new RAD 22 claims to be both quieter and cleaner than its predecessor while still providing the user with a more comfortable shooting experience by directing gasses away from the shooter rather than back in their face.

Chambered in 4.6x30mm, the HK MP7 was designed in the ’90s specifically to defeat Kevlar body armor.  With no civilian version available, the MP7 has developed a cult-like following over the years.  As opportunities are few and far between to shoot these, I’ll jump at the chance to shoot an MP7 whenever possible.  Lucky for me, Jake from 1911 Syndicate reached out recently about doing a video on this iconic machine pistol.

The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon or SAW is one of the most iconic crew-served weapons in current use.  Designed in 1976 by FN Herstal, the M249 SAW has seen use in the Gulf War, Somalia, and the current War on Terror.  The design has been modified slightly over the years to include mission-specific variants like the 249 Para, and Mk46.  Thanks to an invite from Jake at 1911 Syndicate I was able to shoot this classic crew-served weapon, but with a new SAW-specific silencer.
