Suppressors aren’t just a gear choice anymore, they’re the center of one of the biggest shifts we’ve seen in the gun world in years. In this episode, we sit down with Brandon Maddox, CEO of Silencer Central, to unpack everything that’s changed since the $200 tax stamp went away and what it really means for shooters, builders, and dealers.
We talk straight about how Silencer Central scaled from booths at gun shows to being a national name, what people still get wrong about Form 4s, and how the market’s now flooded with suppressors that probably shouldn’t be on rifles. From titanium vs welded cans to direct thread vs QD, it’s a no-fluff breakdown of what works, what doesn’t, and what’s coming next.
Brandon also pulls back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes drama, from legislative backlash to what actually moves the needle for 2A rights. If you’ve got a suppressor, sell them, or want one, this episode’s a must. Real talk, hard questions, and insight that goes beyond marketing brochures.
