There’s just something “classic” about a suppressed Beretta 92FS.
There’s a little bit of silencer buying frenzy going on these days in anticipation of an upcoming ATF regulation change scheduled to take effect July 13, 2016. In short, if you use a trust or corporation to buy a silencer under the existing rules, then you and other trustees do not need to submit photos, individual ATF forms, and fingerprints. Under the new rules, each trustee will have to follow a more rigorous process similar to that of an individual purchase of a suppressor.
The net-net is that, if you use a trust or corporation, buying a muffler will become more of a pain in the butt. That’s your tax dollars at work for you, folks – making the world a much safer place! Because, as we all know, people, trusts, and corporations who jump through all sorts of legal hoops and buy $200 tax stamps to buy silencers commit most of the street crime, right?
Anyway, if you buy soon, you can skip the new headaches. The folks at Silencer Shop are even offering a guarantee. If you purchase an in-stock can by July 6 and provide them your trust or corporation paperwork by July 8, they’ll guarantee to get your paperwork through before the rule change. If they don’t, they’ll give you a hundred bucks.
I shot the Surefire Ryder 9 Ti (bottom) side by side with a Gemtech GM-9 and AAC Illusion.
With that said, we spent some time with a nifty 9mm suppressor that the Silencer Shop folks loaned us recently – the Surefire Ryder 9 Ti. Let’s take a closer look.
Commercial suppressors are just to darned expensive for me.
I go with the $200 to ATF and about $100 worth of parts and build one.
My 5.56 suppressor is hearing safe with supersonic ammo and just a soft “POP” with subsonic ammo.
Google MagLite Silencer or Suppressor.
Thread adapter, end cap, stainless steel tube a and a few expansion (freeze) plugs for baffles.
Now waiting 8 weeks so far on a Form 1 for 30 caliber.
Although this one will be a bit more complicated as it will be a reflex suppressor.
Not beyond a home hobbyist’s capability, though.
