Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last weekend we flipped through the paper to bring you another edition of Suppressors Ripped From the Headlines. The weather continues to be non-compliant with range activities, so live fire remains on pause. Instead, I hopped in the car and drove to a large firearms and outdoors store to have the experience of buying suppressors retail. What did I learn? Let’s find out.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last weekend we raised our glasses to the new year and had a brief year in review. I had planned a reduced back-pressure showdown for today, but an inbound major storm shut down all range activities. Instead we are returning to our recurring series on Suppressors Ripped From The Headlines to see mainstream media’s take on recent silencer news. We’ll return next week with more quiet shooting.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last weekend we finished off a three part series on the SureFire SOCOM556 RC3 with some bolt action shooting. Today we say goodbye to 2023 and hello to 2024 with a brief reflection on a year’s worth of Silencer Saturday posts. Did you have a favorite new suppressor that debuted this year?

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last weekend we were on the range with the newest SureFire rifle suppressor. We wrap up the series today with the SureFire SOCOM556-RC3, against the SureFire RC2, and the SureFire MINI2 on a bolt action rifle in an attempt to discern any differences. How does the new, low-back pressure silencer sound on a closed action host? Let’s find out.

Three weeks ago, Ballistic Highspeed posted a video about their documentation of rocket launchers. Specifically, a Carl Gustaf and RPG-7. During filming there was a catastrophic accident with an RPG-7 resulting in an RPG explosion right next to the shooter’s head. They have come out with a video explaining, to the best of their ability, what they think happened that caused this catastrophic accident to happen.

Welcome back to Wheelgun Wednesday, where we talk about wheel guns . . . on Wednesday. Last week Hrachya showed us some bizarre double-headed revolver. Well, today we take a look at a revolver, technically. Yes, it is not a handgun but a destructive device as deemed by the ATF. It is a Penn Arms GL65-40. I got a chance to check one out recently.

Silencer Central is unveiling an innovative new addition to their suppressor lineup – the BANISH Speed K. Engineered in partnership with Federal Ammunition, this groundbreaking 5.56 silencer packs impressive performance into a streamlined footprint.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last weekend we started off with an introduction to the latest SureFire rifle suppressor, Today we compare the SureFire SOCOM556 RC3 to the venerable SureFire SOCOM556 RC2 on different barrel lengths of gas operated carbines. Is SureFire’s next generation suppressor quieter than the RC2? Does barrel length matter? I think we all know the answer to that… but let’s dig in anyway.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its rich history, the extensive array of unique firearms, as well as its fun and enjoyable shooting sports that are accessible to virtually everyone on the globe. Last week we talked about the extremely obscure, rare, and quite honestly pretty cool M6 Scout Rifle. This takedown, folding combination gun is one that many of us seem to have a massive affinity for, even if the concept itself isn’t all that great on paper. I think most of us might rather have a dedicated semi-auto, bolt-action takedown, or SBR 22LR rifle than an M6 as a general-purpose 22LR rifle. So today we’ll be going over the advantages and disadvantages of both, to see what the general consensus is among you, readers, as well as a few of the TFB staff that I’ve asked about the concept.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week we got a look at the Knight’s Armament QDC/MCQ-PRT 5.56mm rifle suppressor, This week we get a look at one of the most anticipated AR-15 suppressors in many years – the SureFire SOCOM RC3. Can the RC3 live up to the standards of its RC2 predecessor? We’ll find out in this multi-part series dedicated to the latest SureFire release.

At the very end of August, I had the extreme pleasure of going on a tour at the Silencer Cental headquarters where all of the quiet magic happens. Silencer Central formerly Dakota Silencers has been delivering silence for over 15 years (closing in on 20!). They are arguably the largest silencer company out there and have some of the most thoughtful customer services regarding easy and painless silencer purchases. What I witnessed at their headquarters on my Silencer Central tour reflected that and more. Let’s dive right in!

Savage Arms have introduced another Accu product line – a new suppressor series called AccuCan. The AccuCan family of suppressors currently has three members – AC338, AC30 and AC22. The numbers in the model names indicate the calibers each of these suppressors is designed for. All three Savage cans are serviceable direct thread suppressors with monocore baffle design and titanium/aluminum construction. Let’s take a quick look at the specs of the new Savage AccuCan suppressors.

Additive Manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D Printing, is becoming increasingly mainstream in the production of firearms components and accessories. We’ve already seen commercial attempts at manufacturing polymer 3D-printed suppressors and now, thanks to Forerunner 3D Printing, we can see how 3D-printed nylon survives a couple of hundreds of rimfire rounds.

SIG Sauer’s latest generation of the MCX now has its own Rattler model. The MCX-Rattler LT combines the features of the LT family with the compact size of the Rattler. How does it differ from earlier Rattlers? Let’s find out.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week we paused briefly for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. This week we get to spend some time with the KAC QDC MCQ-PRT ultra compact 5.56mm suppressor. Can a 4″ silencer perform well enough to justify an NFA purchase? Let’s take a look.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week we spent some time shooting the AAC Element 3 rimfire suppressor. This week we take a pause to kickoff the holiday season – and because I have been sick most of the week and couldn’t get out on the range to finish my KAC QDC/MQT-PRT review. So I guess I am thankful for my returning health.

As sad as it is to hear, sometimes manufacturing defects happen and make their way out the door. Today SilencerCo has announced an immediate safety recall for OMEGA 300, OMEGA 36M, HYBRID 46, HYBRID 46M, and HARVESTER EVO purchased between June 1, 2023, through October 9, 2023, including ones sent to SilencerCo dealers. SilencerCo recently discovered a welding defect on these specific models of suppressors that could pose a threat to the user through catastrophic failure of the suppressor. SilencerCo has recommended that you immediately stop using your suppressor if it is indicated that it falls within the safety recall window, which you can check by entering your serial number on this page. The full text of the recall is below for your convenience.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week we got a peek at the new rimfire can from Advanced Armament Corporation. This week we get out on the range with two different hosts – a GLOCK and a Ruger – and check the performance the AAC Element 3 rimfire suppressor. Let’s take a look.

Last week we brought you the limited edition SilencerCo Sparrow-Ti. This week we get an introduction to the AAC Element 3, a rimfire suppressor with excellent genetics as well as some new features over previous generations. Can the Element 3 live up to its family name? Let’s take a look.

Our friends at Silencer Central sent over the details on H.R. 6352, the Tax Stamp Revenue Transfer for Wildlife and Recreation Act. This proposed bill would redirect National Firearms Act (NFA) making and transfer taxes from being deposited into the general treasury fund to wildlife conservation programs and NFA application processing enhancements. As the NFA tax collection stands, proceeds are not used for any specific purpose and are instead deposited into the treasury.

22LR pistols are probably the best hosts for pistol suppressors. They’re fun, super quiet with subsonic ammunition, and of course, don’t cost a lot to shoot. Volquartsen recognizes this and has just released their new 3″ Mini Scorpion pistol with the specific purpose of making a more suppressor-friendly pistol that’s still accurate, and reliable.

Kel-Tec has a new Short-Barreled Rifle called the R50 Defender. It combines the P50 pistol and the R50 Rifle into one product. Kel-Tec calls it a “lightweight, compact and versatile rifle”, chambered in 5.7x28mm with a magazine capacity of 50 rounds.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week we revisited the point of impact effects when switching between suppressors. This week we take a look a twist on an old classic with the SilencerCo Sparrow-Ti rimfire suppressor. Are there any notable upgrades? Let’s find out.

German GunWorks is at it again! This time the project is a Heckler & Koch MR223A3C in Flecktarn Nacht. As many of you will know, Flecktarn (German pronunciation: [ˈflɛktaʁn]) is the official camouflage pattern of the “Bundeswehr” (German Army). Nacht means night in German, so we’re looking at a sort of MultiCam Black, but in a German interpretation. The MR223 A3C comes with an 11″ barrel length, and has undergone several hours of customization and the replacement parts list is extreme – passing beyond 6,500 €.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week we tested the Dead Air Mojave 9 modular silencer. This week we return to my favorite 300BLK weapon systems – the SIG MCX SPEAR-LT and the SIG SLH and SLX suppressors to test POI shift between models. Let’s take a look.

One of the industry’s favorite 22LR suppressors just got a much-needed update in honor of SilencerCo’s 15-year anniversary. The new Limited Edition 15-year Anniversary SilencerCo Sparrow-Ti is a nearly exact copy of the original, but this time comes in at nearly half the weight with its all-titanium construction. In addition, the new pint-sized suppressor comes in a nifty two-tone Cerkaote finish and also gives customers an opportunity to test out SiCo’s brand new direct purchasing experience with customers being able to purchase SilecnerCo suppressors directly through their website rather than their network of dealers.
