Speaker 1: Look a little little sidebar. Pro tip for people that
I heard and I wonder if it works the same
on your suppressors. Is for people especially like professional end users,
run is suppressor a lot. You can weigh the can
when you get it. When you weigh the can, and
if it's getting significantly heavier, you have a lot of
build up inside the can.
Speaker 2: Is that about right? One hundred percent? Yeah, you can.
You can tell that. I mean you can. Even some
people that run their guns a lot can feel it.
You can feel that it's getting heavy out front, right.
I mean the guys like folks from the community that
I came from your gun as an extension of your
of your body, right, so you know everything about it.
When something feels off, it's because something is off.
Speaker 1: I'm Ryan Gresham and this this is gun Talk Nation.
Guntognation is brought to you by Arcan Firearms, Silence are Central,
Ruger and Range Ready. Hey, welcome to the guntog Nation.
You know, there is a lot happening in the world
of silencers suppressors, and yes, the two hundred dollars tax
stamp has gone away. Yes the processing is fast, but
there's actually new technology happening because of that, I think,
And so today on the show, we've got Silent Steel USA.
Speaker 2: Justin Shane.
Speaker 1: I mean we were joking about because your name is
spelled differently than what we think it's supposed to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's spelled like she Han.
Speaker 3: It was butchered in immigration over one hundred years ago,
and I have I've dot a lot of scars and
wounds to show for danding by how it's pronounce.
Speaker 1: You have to always just keep correcting people, always everything.
Speaker 2: Some people respect it when you correct it, and others
still call you she han and on you for it.
Speaker 1: You just you do the thing where you're like, am
I going to correct them? We're just going to let
it go. Am I going to have to talk to
this person again?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And as I get older, I either become more
stubborn or more agreeable. Yeah, depending on the day. It
depends on the day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, welcome in Man. We were filming some guns
and gear segments. We said, let's sit down and talk
about this because Silence Steel USA not a new company,
but kind of new to the US. Is that about right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, We've been around over a decade in Finland. So
our parent company, Silent Steel Finland. They've been producing the
suppressors for over ten years. A lot of our NATO
allies across the pond, they've been using them, and they've
tested them, tested their durability and stand by their product. Yeah.
A couple of years ago we found them at one
of the trade shows overseas Eurosatory and said, you know what,
America needs this. So we brought the manufacturing here to
the United States, completely veteran owned company and made right
in South Line issue.
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, yeah, because I mean, I guess we can
get into it. I was thinking about this because this
morning I was looking at I said, it's made in Michigan,
Finland Technology, Finland company. You cannot ship in. Just for
people to understand, you can't ship silencers in. You can't
import silencers, is that right? You can?
Speaker 2: Right, you can, But it's a it's a pain. It's
a busy pain.
Speaker 1: Okay. So because there's a whole sporting use thing, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we definitely by manufacturing them here in the United States,
we have streamlined the process, which you know, to your
point about the tax stamp going down to zero dollars, Yeah,
the idea is to get not get these things tied
up right in the system and in the process. So
the manufacturing piece is just one more one more spot
where we can be more efficient.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you have a background in, you know, work
wise with running suppressors. I think that I always saying,
I was said on the show before, like not everyone
who in the gun industry are gun enthusiasts, or maybe
they know the stuff. Maybe you're an engineer, maybe you're
a marketing person or whatever, But like there's certainly an
advantage to someone who whether they're super into it hobby
wise or they've done it professionally. You ran silencers suppressors
professionally for years and years.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah. So yeah, I was in the seal teams.
I did twelve years in the Navy, and you know,
when these guys found me, the founders, they said, you
need to shoot our suppressors, you need to check them out,
like this is going to blow your mind. And I thought, well,
I've shot a lot of suppressors over the years, all
the big names out there that you can think of.
We we've had them, we tested them, we evaluated them,
and then we used them overseas, right, and and lives
depend on their you know, their capabilities and their and
their function. I thought, suppressor is a suppressor really, right,
Like we always think of a suppressor as your traditional
baffled system, a sealed can. For me, I've assumed once
that thing went on, it may never come back off. Right.
We were putting them under great amounts of heat because
they were carbon locked and they were seized up. And
so yeah, these guys came up to northern Michigan where
I was living, and we went to the range, this
little range out in Crawford County, middle of the National Forest,
and they showed me the suppressor and it blew my mind.
I saw that it was faffhulous.
Speaker 1: Well that's the part, right, So you get to explained
to people the construction of this is not like we've
heard of baffles, we've heard a three D printing. This
is something entirely different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a true filter. There's a filter inside
of this and the only part of the suppressor that
cerealized is the external the two. So you know, for
warranty's sake or just general maintenance, if you have issues
with the internals, there's no transfer of the suppressor to
get this thing taken care of and get you back
online using your suppressor. You could send that core in
and we can update it, we can fix it, we
can just maintenance it if that's what you need. If
it's beyond what you can do yourself, you should be
able to do most of the maintenance all by yourself.
So it's a replaceable part. It's I don't want to
consider it consumable. You know, you should it's going to last. Yeah,
you know. We tell folks that these suppressors are rated
for fifteen to twenty thousand rounds. We had European counterparts.
Somebody came into shot Show this year and told us
they had over forty thousand rounds for their suppressor and
it was still maintaining its function. They serviced it. Obviously.
We tell people you do need to clean your stuff
just like you would your weapon, right and a lot
of folks would like to probably, you know, hold the
manufacturer accountable, but sometimes it's just as a maintenance piece
that people need to take a little ownership of.
Speaker 1: Look at little sidebar. Pro tip for people that I
heard and I wonder if it works the same on
your suppressors is for people especially like professional end users,
run in suppressor A lot you can weigh the can
when you get it. When you weigh the can, and
if it's getting significantly heavier, you have a lot of
build up inside the can. Is that about right on?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You can you can tell that. I mean you can.
Even some people that run their guns a lot can
feel it. You can feel that it's getting heavy out front, right.
I mean the guys like folks from the community that
I came from. Your gun is an extension of your
of your body, right, so you know everything about it.
When something feels off, it's because something is off system.
But yeah, that carbon builds up, all of that, all
that propellant, all of the gases, all the dirty ammunition
that gets shot through your platform. That's where it's contained.
Isn't that suppressor before it exits? Right? And a lot
of times all of that trash comes back at you.
With our system being a you know, having the flow
iq technology and moving gas and all the propellants out
the front of the can. Your eliminated the stuff back
in the face. But you're also eliminating stuff that gets
stuck in the can because we're taking the restrict off,
we're allowing it to come out the front. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about the There's been a lot of talk
about flow through back pressure. You have the flow IQ
is what you guys call it. This is accomplishing it
in a different way because you don't have baffles. But
talk about what's been going on in the last several
years of the types of gases people are seen and
what's happening with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know with everything, right, I mean war, war
does a lot for our country and our communities. Right.
It establishes new standards, new protocols for health. Right, So
you have folks coming out of the services and they've
got toxic exposure to you know, super high exposure levels
to lead and all of these these materials right that
are harmful for you suppressors. What happens when you SHO
is you have hydrogen cyanide build up and that gas
comes back right in a DII or a piston system
and it comes back and it goes out the bowl
carrier in your face and you eat all of that
toxic residue. Our suppressors mitigate all that by sending it
out the front. So all of that is flowing at.
What it does is it enters a little gas chamber
and it hits the turbine and it starts to swirl,
and those gases as they swirl, they balance everything and
they come out the front. That decreases the recoil, It
decreases the heat, there's not as much heat transfer, right,
and then it decreases the sound because of the gases.
That's what stops the sound, right, is all that gas
and swirling. It kills that noise as it goes out. So, yeah,
by moving from a baffled system, that traps all of that,
and then it takes like like water, it takes the
path of least resistance. Well, if a baffled system traps
all those gases, all that heat, all that toxic garbage
in there, a lot of times that comes back at you, Yeah,
because it finds the path of least resistance. So it
follows that rod back into the bowl. We've just mitigated
all of that. It's really cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, turbine system, and talk about because we were doing this,
you can unscrew the front of it and pull the
core out and then like talk about cleaning this because
people will be it's amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm happy to show you I have one
here that's yeah, you know, I've this came off my
personal gun. It has our QD amount on here, our
bolt lock. But you know you're talking about the end cap.
That's what you're referring to for a maintenance. You know,
this is hand tightened. I mean I could take it
apart with my hands. But we also send a Spanner
wrench with every suppressor that's bought. So there's two little
notches right there. Yep, those little notches to Spanner wrench
pops in there, and this opens up very easily, and
then all it does is thread out. And again this
has been shot and you can see that one's dirty.
This is dirty, right, We've been shooting this, we've been
having fun with it, and we're not seeing any point
of impact shifts with this. Even with it this dirty,
it still is maintaining all of its capabilities. But you
take that core and you drop it in a we
dropping an ultrasonic tank, it's going to come out like
brand new. It's gonna shake everything loose. It's going to
shake everything out of that wire mesh that the boar
chambers is wrapped with. Off this turbine, everything's going to
be clean. That's if you have a tank. If you
don't have a tank, you can just use hot water
with this shelp. You can let this thing soak and
then you can get a stiff bristle brush. You can
clean this up, blow it out with some air, and
you're ready to go. We tell folks to clean these
about every thousand rounds or or you know, a heavy
day of shooting. That's gonna extend the life of your
suppressor and it's also going to extend the life of
your your gun because, as we know, barrels deteriorate and guns,
components inside of guns deteriorate from heat and all and
mat all of that pressure and all of the heat
that's built up and held in a contained space, that's
what's hard on parts.
Speaker 1: So the fact this runs cooler, it makes the barrel
run cooler exactly.
Speaker 2: So this runs cooler, and therefore what it does is
extends the life lifespan of your weapon itself. Very cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I want to talk more about just where
we're going with silencers, because there's a lot going on,
and we'll be right back. The Ruger LCP Max is
still one of the most popular pocket sized personal protection pistols,
and they just made it better with the Magpoole enhanced
handgun grip. So this one is the LCP Max with
Magpole EHG. Has nice texture, has a little bit bigger
grip module on it so you can get a little
bit more grip on the gun. Has a thirteen round
magazine also a ten round magazine, so it's just had
been enhanced a bit. Still small, still easy to shoot,
and still very reliable as a Ruger, So go check
it out the Ruger LCP Max with Magpool EHG. What
if you could be significantly better with your firearms in
a short time. At Range Ready Studios, we offer handgun
and rifle classes to help.
Speaker 2: You be the best you can be.
Speaker 1: You'll be safer, more competent, and just better at the range.
We also offer special experience classes which include the gun,
the AMMO, the gear and the training. Learn more at
Rangereadystudios dot com. So justin people are buying silencers like
crazy these days, and just in case you've been living
under a rock, everybody, it's never been easier to buy
a silencer.
Speaker 2: Nope, nope. There we are reducing the pain and the
burden associated with getting suppressors, which we talked a little
bit about just traveling with them, right and you know
the National Firearms Act and how it's something that needs
to be declared when you travel, and we don't think
that everybody even knows it's working there.
Speaker 1: It needs to be oh my gosh, traveling with guns,
traveling with suppressors.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's we.
Speaker 1: Do it all the time for work because of what
we do.
Speaker 2: But yes, you do have to declare, you know.
Speaker 1: Get a firearms declaration form.
Speaker 2: Is what I always say.
Speaker 1: Don't yell I have a gun in the airport, I
need a firearms declaration form. And if they're like but
those and it's like you travel with silencers suppressors and
it's like that's not a firearm, is it. No, it's
not a firearm, but I do need to declare it.
And it's like no you don't, Yes, yes I do,
I really do.
Speaker 2: I had that conversation on the way out here. You know, well,
it's not a gun, right, it's not a gun, but
it goes on a gun but not a gun.
Speaker 1: Yes, Well, I mean you have to, you have to declare.
And I mean it's stupid, but I've been told several
different ways that if you had like like a like
a SIMS gun, a glock replica you have to declare that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because there's they can X.
Speaker 1: Ray all this stuff and they see a gun in there, yes,
and you haven't declared it.
Speaker 2: It could be plastic.
Speaker 1: And it's a trick we used to use for our
camera cases because you know, you have to put TSA
locks on things unless it's a gun case, and then
you actually are not supposed to have TSA locks. And
so we would do is we would put like a
SIMS gun in the camera case instead, I need a
firearms declaration form. And it's that way. Even if you're
traveling to some strange state that that isn't real friendly
for guns. It could be Connecticut or California or something
like that. I'm fine having this plastic pistol in there.
But they also let me put real master locks right
on the cases of our cameras.
Speaker 2: Get around it.
Speaker 1: It was a little a little trick we used. So
there you go, guys, if you want to be able
to put real locks on your on your luggage, you
could do that.
Speaker 2: Hacking that problem. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, but yeah, it's
never been easier to get suppressors and there's not a
shortage of companies that are popping up that are selling
suppressors as well. We obviously hope that folks shop with us,
but they're you know, with that tax stamp going to
zero dollars, it's just opportunity and you're going to see that.
So yeah, and that's something that people need to be
wary of, right, is that just because somebody starts making suppressors,
that doesn't make them quality, right, doesn't mean that the
customer service is going to be there. It's just a
it's just a quick money grab. So we're not that's
not us. We're here for the long haul and our
finish arm of that has proven you know that we
we can stand the test of time even though we
may feel uh, you know, junior or young in the game,
it's not not the case necessarily.
Speaker 1: What are you hearing from customers when they're getting these well,
they're just there.
Speaker 2: For one, they're just blown away at the gas, the
turbine and the filter system. I mean that the same
way with me, right, like shot all these suppressors over
the years, and when I pulled that thing apart, I mean,
obviously we all know what we're looking at. It's not
that complicated, but it does really surprise you and I
think that's any any leap in technology. We feel that way,
We just didn't. It's admiration, right like you then you're like, wow,
this is cool. Why didn't I think of this? Or
somehow has somebody else not thought of this before? Right?
So that's just that while factor of like being able
to take that thing apart and clean it on your own,
check check the serviceability, just being able to look at
it and say, this doesn't look messed up. Right, Like
you start shooting your rifle and you you know you
have a change in your point of impact and you
start to diagnose it's your system. The suppressor is part
of that. Sure, and now it's easier to diagnose if
it is the suppressor, and if it is, we're going
to stand by it. We're going to warranty it.
Speaker 1: Think about like a traditional baffled suppressor. A lot of
times they have that first baffle is the one that's
taking the brunt of the punishment. Right. They'll even have
a titanium suppressor, but the first baffles has a different
construction or whatever.
Speaker 2: It might be.
Speaker 1: Right, how does that change for you guys, because it's
just it's not designed that way. Does that first part
take the brunt of the punishment or is it just
is it different?
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't because that turbine is redirecting everything. So
as as things as the elements are approaching that turbine,
they start to be redirected, so that turbine is moving
that gas as that bullet is entering that bullet chamber,
and that standoff that that chamber that is empty, that's
not filled with the turbine or the or the filter itself,
that is allowing those gases to escape. So they're not
they're not being restricted like you would typically see with
those first couple discs, those baffles, right, and everything's not
building there, it's actually expanding. So I tell people it's
like taking the restrict off something, but not so much
that you have changes at bolt speed. Right. You still
you still still has to go through its steps before
it exits the front of the suppressor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And a lot of times with suppressors there's kind
of this compromise that takes place if if you get
high flow through it's not as quiet. Is that?
Speaker 2: That? Is that the case one hundred percent? And I
think that that's something that maybe folks are surprised that
when they shoot it is that they well they expect
James Bond, right, you know, they John Wick. You know,
they think that their their guns are going to be
impossible to hear and they're not going to be compromised. Right,
But what I it's not a it's not a or
you know, a ding on anybody that thinks that. But
typically your operators, you're professionals that use these, they understand that.
So they're not even focused on the sound, right. They
know they know you're going to meet the parameters, right,
the requirements for the decibel reduction. They know we're going
to do that for them. We're going to get it
down to one hundred and thirty six hundred and thirty
seven decibels to the ear, to the shooter's ear, and
it's going to be safe. Right. So and they're still
running you know, pel tours and swordans and hearing protection
right with their comms gear on. But they're less concerned
with the sound. You know, our civilians are our shooters,
even our avid shooters out there in the civilian world,
they seem to focus a lot on the sound. And
that's just something that we have to just explain, right, Like,
especially as you move away from baffled systems that are quieter.
Baffled systems are quieter and sealed cans, But on a
gas gun, you're also going to be eating a tremendous
amount of hydrogen, cyanide, and carbon that's coming out of
that gun. So there's a trade off for it. We
we value the back pressure, the reduction in recoil, the
reduction in heat, right, the heat transfer. I mean, I've
got lots of cami pants, you know, cry pants that
have got burn marks because I just dipped my barrel
and now I've got a hole in my pants, right,
or burned myself with my can because it's so hot. Yeah,
our cans run, they run forty percent cooler, so they're
a much cooler running can, you know. And again when
I first saw them, they're like, yeah, you'll be able
to touch this can after dumping a few mags through it.
Speaker 1: I thought, I mean that's what we did. We got
it in and when you know, a couple of months
ago we got that nine mild cannon and we ran
a few mags through it, and we were doing the
video and said, you know, well, they say it runs cooler.
I wonder if I can hold this and It was
kind of like you do the quick you know, tap
it just to see and you go wait, okay, okay,
and you grab it. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's a
little warm, but it's you could actually hold this in
your hand, which is amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, we're a completely veteran owned company,
so that helps because the things that we value may
differ a little bit from your you know, your average shooter,
because we want this to be military grade, so we're
using stainless steel. We understand that there are lighter alloys
out there, but stainless steel is durable. It doesn't oxidize
like other alloys. So you're talking about over the beach
operations where you're doing stuff in the surf zone, right,
these are going to hold up and they're going to
build the weather all of the elements in a better
fashion because we're using stainless steel three or three and
three or four stainless steel. It's a better conductor, so
it manages the heat better. Is it a little bit heavier, Sure,
it's a little bit heavier, but our operators don't seem
to complain about the weight. You know, ounces do equal pounds,
but platforms need to be durable. They need to be
really liable and consistent, and our suppressors match that match
all of those standards that we expect out of our
guns alone.
Speaker 1: Hey, I want to tell you about the ARCon Type
B pistol, designed with the lowest bore axis of any
striker fired handgun, which helps reduce muzzle flip during recoil,
getting you back on target faster. This is made possible
by the patented af speedlock system featuring a unique non
tilting barrel lockup design and with the gen Twoter modular grip,
you can customize size and texture to fit your use
and shooting preference. ARCN Firearms suppressor ownership has never been
easier for shooters who want less noise and less recoil.
Silence or Central makes it easy browse top suppressor brands online,
handle the paperwork from home with the help of their experts,
and have your new suppressor delivered to your door. Silence
are Central, so justin you know, we were talking earlier
of like most people, regular consumers buy guns, scopes, suppressors, whatever,
and they don't have the same They're not using this
stuff every day or every week. It's a hobby. But
for people like you know, you were in the seal teams.
You guys are training all the time and you're running.
You mentioned like over the beach operations. You know, I'm
not typically doing over the beach operations here in Louisiana.
But you see stuff that most people don't see, right,
you see what does it look like? What does the
flash signature look like? And you see like the real
world applications of that. I mean, there are there times
that you can think about when you were actually working
in that environment where the flash, either from the enemy
or from you guys was noticeable. Like you're wearing nods.
I mean, do you think about out You look for
things in a different way because you've been there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean flash alone, right, Like if you're under
night vision and you're you're shooting in a house or
in a you know, contained space, flash is a big deal, right.
You can you can get flooded out because there's a
fireball at the end of your at the end of
your gun, right, Yeah, with everything coming out the front
of our suppressor, it acts as a vacuum, so it
kills all of that flash. That fireball that comes out
the end. It is in a sense, it vacuums and
it contains it right, and it handle it does the
same with dust and it just captures all of that.
You know, we stood out at a at a range
out west this early spring and we were out there
under night vision staring at the end of the barrel
of just trying at the end of the suppressure trying
to catch the flash and it was nearly impossible, really, yeah,
because like it's that little, it's that it's that small
of a signature. Yeah, And that and signature management. You know,
you talk about like the advancements in technology and suppressors
and this and that, signature management is probably the thing
right now, that's the theme is managing signature and that's
something we're proud that we do really well.
Speaker 1: Right, well, so many things have gone to fight at night, right.
Speaker 2: Yes, and the ability to pick up someone's location, right,
and just with technology we've been better able to find, fix, capture,
do all these things of different degrees, and so yeah,
now it's become a signature management problem, a dilemma that
needs to be solved. So different companies are solving that.
Whether it's you know, your uniforms that we're wearing, right,
we're trying to create uniforms that handle your heat, your
body heat, right and give off less thermal signature. We're
doing the same thing here with our thermal signature. And yeah,
sometimes you don't want that. I mean we certainly overseas
at times pulled cans so they would see flash because
you want get people's heads down. Yeah, right, like, so
you know, sometimes you use flash to your advantage.
Speaker 1: I want it loud and flashy.
Speaker 2: Right, you know, we want they see me on down
kind of thing. But yeah, we're we're really happy with
the management, the signature management that we have out of
our suppressor and then other things like you know, I
can't tell you how many times I've been you know,
first rooms fine, second room, eyes are watering a little bit.
Third room, you're you know, you're just dealing with a
film over your eyeballs because you're eating all that garbage
in the face, not and not. You know, God forbid.
You're a left handed shooter, right me, I'm the guy
you're eating an all guy.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm right handed. I'm super left eye dominant, so
I've always shot long guns on left shoulder, and I
am like the test case when when people are like oh,
you know this blowback thing. I'm like, yeah, I've I've
been bitching about it for years, guys. Yeah, because the
first time I started, or when I first started shooting suppressed,
was like whoa, because up until that point, people would say, well,
doesn't bother you, like the shell the brass is being
thrown across your face, and said, I never see it,
don't It doesn't bother me. I never see it. I
never noticed it. It's a big deal until I put
a suppressor on. This is old school. This is like
I don't know, you know, twenty ten AAC stuff, right, Yeah,
And I mean it was great at the time, yeah,
for what it was, but yeah, dude, it's throwing all
kinds of dust and junk into you. Like you want
to make sure that you're wearing eye protection. Yeah, I mean,
it's no joke. Yeah, I always laugh.
Speaker 2: I fet you know, I feel like hundreds hundreds of
sets of clear eye protection laying around right then, because
every time they get a little scratched up, I want
another clean set. But you know, we wear that a
lot of times to manage all that garbage and gunk
that's coming back into your eyeballs. I mean, you know,
you men have act people overseas for lifelim or eyesight.
Speaker 1: Oh, eyesight is a very important.
Speaker 2: Thing, and and you know, we like to think that
we're helping the operator deal with that that problem that
they have when they're eating all that trash that's coming
out of their their bolt face. Right. Yeah. Yeah, when
we see a guy that's left handed step up to
the range at a demo day, we're like, yes, you know,
he's gonna love this. What do you hey, what do
you think? And they're always like, there's no gas in
the face, you know. So, yeah, we do a really
great job at mitigating really all the things that make
shooting unfavorable, uncomfortable. Right, So we're applying it a lot
of times to a professional sense. You're you're war fighter,
you're law enforcement officer. But the truth is they shouldn't
just have a better experience alone, right, the civilia and
the shooters that the guys that go to the range
or they you know, they care very very deeply about
personal defense and they trained hard, right, they want the
same equipment that we that we have, that we test
and we evaluate. Yeah, so and there's no reason they
shouldn't have that, Like we've talked a lot about like,
well this is for the professional, right, and you know,
civilians maybe don't understand this or don't understand that, and
that bridge is being gapped, a margin is narrowing, right,
Like civilians have access to all the information right as
fast as we get it there. They're right behind us
on our coattails.
Speaker 1: So the same stuff and they want the same stuff.
Speaker 2: And honestly they should have a better experience too. Right,
you should be able to go to the gun range.
You should be able to not feel like your ears
are bleeding when you leave it, right because you had
the ability to shoot suppressed, and the government and policy
and protocol and just the scare tactics haven't prohibited you
from shooting with a suppressor for all the years, right,
and then if you are shooting suppressed, you shouldn't have
to eat gas and hydrogen cyanide and all these other
things and replace your can your suppressors over and over
because they're shot out or you think they're shot out,
you don't know because you can't take them apart. Right, So, yeah,
we serve both communities.
Speaker 1: If somebody comes to you and they're like, yeah, I've
been thinking about getting a suppressor. I've never had one.
Speaker 2: What would you say is.
Speaker 1: The number one reason to buy one?
Speaker 2: You know, probably just the probably the reduction in recoil
and sound. I mean we I've said, hey, we focus
a lot.
Speaker 1: Sound might be actually number two.
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, I think so, I mean we You know,
I thought you might say that I take different folks shooting.
I run shooting courses, I do close quarters combat courses
and weapons fundamentals. And you know, the biggest, the biggest
thing that separates capable and non capable folks with their
firearms is the amount of training they do. So I
tell people when they come in, they shoot my guns,
and they're like, oh, is this what I should buy?
And I'm like, no, you should buy what suits you
because I want you to train with it, right, And
if putting a suppressor on the end of your gun
means you'll go train with it more because it's a
more pleasurable experience, I think you should shoot suppressed.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Right. You know I don't have gigantic hands, right, so
I'm probably not going to run some nineteen eleven you know,
big heavy framed pistol, Right. I run smaller framed guns
because they fit better in my hands. I think that
you should buy and things that will you know they
will facilitate your training needs. Okay, that way you become
better equipped down the road. Then you've got the hours
of the ten thousand reps. You get them because you're
not afraid of your gun. You don't want to go
have this thing bark at you and break your ear
drum every time you know you're on the range. And
I think that if everybody on the line is suppressed,
everybody's having a better time. And we all know that
guy that he's got his can off and jeez and
ear pro. You know, you should still wear your ear
pro because you know yours are important. But it's much
more pleasant when somebody has a suppressed system next to
you than unsuppressed.
Speaker 1: Gonna make you a better shooter because you don't have
the recoil. It's going to help you to train more.
Kind of what you're saying, because it's more pleasurable to
shoot it. And very cool. I mean, you guys are
doing cool stuff. Silence Steel USA. And I guess is
how they find you guys.
Speaker 2: Yes, Silence Steel USA.
Speaker 1: All right, make sure to look us up very good,
