I want to be a suppresor owner, where to start

[jimss]

Put ear plugs or ear muffs on and shoot, watch game drop with 1 shot....end of story!

If you have kids that like to shoot....buy a muzzle break that will actually result in less kick. Obviously have your kids wear ear protection.

Suppressors are a fad!!!

Who really cares about noise when shooting with earplugs/muffs. A muzzle break will actually make a recoil difference.

Recoil differences will make it possible for kids to use larger calibers for big game. Most suppressors do almost nothing for recoil while all muzzle breaks cut recoil 30 to 50%.

Have you ever shot with a suppressor? I have muzzle breaks and suppressors. I will always choose the can when possible.

10/10 my wife, kids, myself, competitive shooter friends, and new shooter friends are more accurate and enjoy the process much more with a can.

You do you though!

You can buy the suppressor and set up the Trust afterwards. It used to speed up the purchase process.

Muzzle brakes are uncivilized.

I remember when the Internet was a fad

Brakes are more effective at reducing recoil but to say suppressors don’t is just not true. Suppressors also greatly reduce muzzle blast and the accompanying pressure wave whereas brakes magnify them. IMO greatly reducing the muzzle blast helps people shoot better even if there is slightly more recoil.

AI Overview




Yes, 3D printed suppressors (silencers) are legal to make and own in the U.S., but they are strictly regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA), requiring ATF approval, a $200 tax stamp, and registration, just like traditionally made suppressors. The key is that you must follow all federal NFA laws (like filing a Form 1 to manufacture) and state laws, which can be more restrictive, and use appropriate durable materials (like metal alloys) for safe, functional devices.

My ears are shot. I wish I had one growing up. Protect your hearing at all cost.

1) Suppressors have been around for 100 years and are only not ubiquitous in the US hunting community because of the NFA. The rest of the hunting world uses them and has for years. Definitely not a fad.

2) some of us hunt in areas where things happen quickly at close ranges. We rely on our ears as much (or more than) our eyes and often dont get a chance to put hearing protection in before being in the field of view of an animal.

3) I'd really like to know your experience with suppressors because its fundamentally untrue that they dont reduce recoil. I genuinely wonder if you've even shot with a suppressor to make that kind of statement.

4) kids, especially when they first start shooting, are often just as sensitive to the report of a rifle as they are the recoil. In that instance a muzzle brake can make things worse, especially if you're shooting under a shelter like most ranges have.
