FAQ
To purchase a suppressor, you must meet federal and state requirements. First, you need to be at least 21 years old if buying from a dealer or 18 if acquiring it through a trust or private transfer (where allowed). Suppressors are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA), meaning you must complete ATF Form 4, which includes a background check, fingerprinting, and a $200 tax stamp. Once submitted, the approval process can take several months. After approval, you can legally take possession of your suppressor. Our team is here to assist you through every step, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.
Suppressor legality varies by state. As of now, suppressors are legal for civilian ownership in 42 states, while eight states (California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Hawaii) prohibit them. Additionally, some states may have restrictions on hunting with suppressors. To ensure compliance with federal and state laws, check your local regulations or contact our team for assistance in determining whether suppressors are legal in your state.
Using a suppressor offers several benefits for shooters, including:
-
Hearing Protection – Suppressors significantly reduce the noise level of gunfire, helping to protect your hearing and reducing the need for bulky ear protection.
-
Reduced Recoil & Muzzle Rise – By dampening the force of escaping gases, suppressors help lower recoil and muzzle rise, making follow-up shots quicker and more accurate.
-
Improved Accuracy – Suppressors help stabilize the bullet as it exits the barrel, often leading to tighter shot groupings.
-
Less Noise Pollution – A suppressed firearm is less disruptive to the surrounding environment, making it ideal for hunting and shooting ranges in populated areas.
-
Better Communication – With reduced noise, shooters can communicate more easily with hunting partners or range instructors without shouting.
Overall, suppressors enhance safety, comfort, and shooting performance, making them a valuable tool for hunters, competitive shooters, and firearm enthusiasts alike.

Our suppressors are meticulously crafted from premium 6AI4V titanium, a high-performance alloy known for its impressive strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. This lightweight material not only enhances the overall durability of the suppressor but also ensures minimal impact on the firearm's balance and handling.
In addition to the titanium construction, we employ a sophisticated DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) S-line coating. This advanced coating technology provides a unique blend of hardness and lubricity, significantly improving surface durability while reducing friction. The DLC coating helps protect the suppressor from wear and tear, scratches, and environmental factors, ensuring it remains in optimal condition even after extensive use.
By combining these high-quality materials and innovative coating processes, we create suppressors that deliver outstanding performance, reliability, and longevity. Our commitment to using top-tier materials ensures that you receive a product that not only meets but exceeds your expectations in both functionality and aesthetics.
