Suppressors: Yes, you need one

Been on the fence about purchasing a suppressor? Here’s 3 reasons why you need to buy one.

1. Your friends will shoot with you more
2. You will look much cooler at the range because you have a whisper pickle 
3. The ATF is approving the paperwork necessary to transfer a suppressor IN ONLY DAYS right now, historically the wait is over nine months to a couple of years… don’t wait for that to change. 

In all seriousness, the suppressor is an essential piece of kit for every gun owner. For the uninitiated, a suppressor is a muzzle device that reduces the sound signature of a firearm. Think of the way that a car muffler works, with multiple baffles that trap the sound and expanding gasses on its way out. The term “silencer” is a bit of a misnomer, as a suppressed firearm is never completely silent. Hollywood “movie quiet” depictions of suppressors would lead you to believe that we can fire our suppressed Walther PPK, and the people 5 feet away being none the wiser… which is not the case. However, with the right caliber and subsonic ammunition, you can achieve a much quieter shot than most people expect.

Okay, why do you really need one? 

1. Hearing protection: This is the most obvious reason. Many people equip their home defense firearms with suppressors because they might not have time to put on ear protection in an emergency.
2. Range etiquette: Your ears and fellow shooters will appreciate the reduced noise from your suppressor compared to a muzzle brake. Indoor ranges often appreciate suppressed firearms, especially during classes with new, easily-startled shooters.
3. Neighborly relations: If you have a backyard range, your neighbors will thank you for the quieter shooting experience. Now you can magdump trash in peace.
