With some help from our friends over at Silencer Shop, we got our hands on the new-ish Gemtech Tracker suppressor for testing. This one is all about deliberate tradeoffs, and those tradeoffs boil down to weight versus intended abuse. The Tracker is designed for hunting, so it’s designed accordingly. In most hunting situations, except maybe […]
Gemtech’s GMT-300BLK Suppressor for 300 Blackout Rifles – Full Review
Suppressing a 300 Blackout rifle presents a unique opportunity because the exact performance attributes are known in advance. Allow me to explain.

A Pair of Suppressors To Cover Multiple Guns
This article originally appeared at Ammoland. USA –-(Ammoland.com)- Until the day that President Obama signs the Hearing Safety Act which would remove suppressors from National Firearms Act Restrictions (and I have it on good authority that it’ll be the same day that rabid monkeys fly out of my butt), we have to spend lots of […]

Review: Gemtech GM-9 Suppressor
Last month I conned the nice guys over at Silencer Shop to lend me three different 9mm suppressors at the same time. I’ve been Jonesing for one to buy and the opportunity to test three side by side was too good to pass up. Earlier, we took a look at the AAC Illusion 9mm. This […]
Suppressor Review: AAC Illusion 9mm

Review: Griffin Armament Optimus Silencer
You know what’s insulting? Paying $200 to the federal government every time you want to buy a muffler. Recently, I found one way to minimize that miserable excuse for a “gun safety” law while still enjoying the benefits of shooting more quietly.
