This article originally appeared at Ammoland. The National Rifle Association Annual Meeting is a heck of a lot more than just meetings.

Rimfire Suppressor Roundup – 10 Popular Models
Choosing the right suppressor for a gun is challenging. After all, it’s not like you can test fire one in the store. Well, not without upsetting the sales staff. Heck, your store may not even have them in stock. So you may have to order a silencer sight unseen, then wait for months for Uncle […]
Suppressor Review: AAC Illusion 9mm
At first glance, you might think the guy drilling the bore in the AAC Illusion had a three Jaeger Bomb lunch before the afternoon shift. That’s because the hole is not in the center of the tube. At first glance, it seems off, like a Dunkin Donuts French Cruller with the middle out of place. […]
5 Great Pistols for Suppressor Use
This article originally appeared at AmmoLand. I don’t want to jinx the mojo on this, but it looks as though silencers may come off the “Mother, may I?” list before email servers actually fly out of Hillary’s butt. Introduced by Rep.

Now, the company is shipping 124-grain 9mm ammo in the Suppressor brand family. I got my hands on a stash and brought it to the range with […]
Review: AAC Ti-Rant 45M Suppressor
As new silencers are hitting the market all the time, it’s hard to tell which is the quietest. I’ll bet a ham sandwich that the AAC Ti-Rant 45M is up near the top of the list. Our friends at Silencer Shop sent me an evaluation sample to run through the ringer. While there are a […]
Silencing the 300 AAC Blackout
Last time we got into an ammunition geek-fest and talked about the variety of commercial ammo available for the 300 AAC Blackout and the endless tinkering you can do as a reloader for that caliber. Perhaps even more fun than creating endless varieties of ammunition for the 300 AAC Blackout is shooting it with silencers. […]
EOTech 300 AAC Blackout Holographic Site – Coming Soonish!
We had the pleasure of spending the past few days at the 2013 Professional Outdoor Media Association annual conference in Columbia, South Carolina. One of the joys of the annual POMA gathering is spending quality time with corporate members like EOTech. Away from the bedlam of SHOT Show or the NRA Annual Meeting, there is […]
