By Larry Keane Prospects for any sort of pro-gun bill moving in Congress are dim, but that doesn’t mean Congress shouldn’t try, especially when it’s a bill to make recreational shooting and hunting safer and make gun ranges better neighbors. That’s why NSSF is urging Congress to consider the Hearing Protection Act, H.R. 95. It’s an […]
With a Biden administration just a couple of months away, the media appear to be helping push one of candidate Biden’s gun control agenda items — a ban on the sale of guns and gun parts via the internet. And they’re focusing on cheap Chinese illegal full-auto switches along with “fuel filters” and solvent traps […]
We all know how Facebook aggressively and promptly kills off posts that promote gun sales on their platform. That’s even extended to gun reviews and posts about Medal of Honor recipients that they have sometimes interpreted as promotions. So it seems a little suspicious that they not only allow dubious posts selling “fuel filters,” but […]
Made entirely of titanium, the lightweight Q jumbo SHRIMP is one of the few 6.5mm-specific suppressors on the market. It’s targeted toward PRS and other precision rifle style shooters plus hunters looking for a compact, lightweight can that will protect their hearing while not getting in the way. I feel like a bit of a […]
Not only is the logarithmic decibel scale difficult to understand, it only scratches the surface of explaining what is and is not “hearing safe” when it comes to firing suppressed firearms. PEW Science is looking to change all of this with some extremely high-tech testing and an entirely new way to present the information. Their […]
From the American Suppressor Association This morning, the Virginia Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10-5 in favor of rejecting Delegate Mark Levine’s House Bill 961. The legislation, which will be sent to the Virginia State Crime Commission for further study this summer, was defeated in a bipartisan manner. Four Democrats, Chairman John Edwards (D-21), Sen. Creigh Deeds […]
Coming to F-1 Firearms this year is a full line of rifle suppressors plus a smattering of aluminum-framed, Gen3 GLOCK-compatible handguns. Covering everything from .22 LR to .50 BMG, which I’d have to say takes care of most things you can shoot from a rifle, F-1’s new suppressor line is made entirely of titanium and […]
First, let me just say that I think ODIN Works released a handful of other brand new products at SHOT Show this year, too. Unfortunately I was speed walking by their booth for a scheduled meeting when these suppressors caught my eye. A full-on Looney Tunes double take ensued, and . . . So the […]
If Gabrielle Blair didn’t exist, the pro-rights movement would have to invent her, if only for the comedic relief. She approaches gun people control with all the expertise of an interior designer. Ms. Blair achieved her bit of internet fame the other day with a simple(-minded) tweet. There are far better ways to protect your […]
Silencer Shop is the largest distributor of suppressors and silencers (same thing) in the country. Part of that success has been built on their “Powered by Silencer Shop” kiosks they have in gun stores around the country. These kiosks make processing all of the required ATF-mandated NFA paperwork extremely easy. Part of that process, of course, is […]
Suppressors are commonsense safety devices. And yet there are those in government who would like to outlaw them for civilian use entirely. Much of the military concern is about .50 sniper rifles. This is a weapon I was issued in the military, but I will no longer shoot one or be near someone shooting one […]
By David Lewis You can read part 2 here. This project is a comprehensive look at silencers with testing data that shows exactly what difference a suppressed firearm can make on sound levels while shooting. Understanding How Firearm Silencers/Suppressors Work When you fire ammunition from a gun, the ammo generates hot pressurized gases that need […]
