SilencerCo Drops Limited Edition Sparrow-Ti in Honor of 15-Year Anniversary

Monday, October 23rd, 2023

October 23, 2023 — West Valley City, UT —  SilencerCo is celebrating 15 years in business with the launch of a limited edition Sparrow-Ti. This will commemorate 15 years of the original Sparrow – the suppressor that started it all. The Sparrow-Ti limited batch will go on sale to the public October 30, 2023 through the SilencerCo website. Customers can sign up for an early access list for priority purchasing.

The Sparrow-Ti offers the same iconic features of the original Sparrow with a new spin on materials. Rather than stainless steel, the Sparrow-Ti is completely constructed from titanium. It’s also only around half the weight of the original Sparrow, with the titanium version at 3.8oz. The Sparrow-Ti has a special proprietary two-tone gray and bronze anodized finish for a completely unique look. 

“We’re 15-years in, and we wanted to make the most perfect replica of the original version of the Sparrow,” said SilencerCo CEO, Jonathon Shults. “So we went with all-titanium and a custom-anodized coating that’s exclusive to us to commemorate what we’ve done.”

The sale of the Sparrow-Ti also marks the exciting start of SilencerCo’s direct purchasing service. This will allow customers to purchase not only the Sparrow-Ti, but also all other SilencerCo suppressors directly from the SilencerCo website moving forward. Previously, SilencerCo suppressors were only available at local dealers with accessories for purchase online. 

Customers can purchase a Sparrow-Ti from Silencerco.com for $499 and have the silencer transferred to their chosen dealer via the SilencerCo dealer database. Dealers and distributors must purchase the product through the dealer portal at special dealer pricing. 

Those who opt into the early access SMS/email list will receive early access to purchase the Sparrow-Ti before it goes on sale to the public. With only a limited number of these suppressors being produced, the early access group may be the only customers lucky enough to secure one of these elusive Sparrow-Ti silencers.

• Limited edition 15-year anniversary suppressor 

• Completely constructed from titanium 

• Length: 5.080”

• Weight: 3.8oz

Dead Air Silencers Mojave 9 is Now Shipping

Thursday, October 19th, 2023

Heber City, Utah October 13th, 2023

Dead Air Silencers is proud to announce the all-new MOJAVE 9® is now shipping to their Distributor and Dealers nationwide. Customers will have the opportunity to purchase the MOJAVE 9® in the next week in both the black and silver models at their authorized Dead Air Silencer dealers.

The MOJAVE 9® pushes the boundaries of performance, allowing shooters to have the benefits of both low blow-back and supreme acoustic signature reduction! This is achieved by the all-new patent pending revolutionary Triskelion™ baffle design. Pushing the limits of performance through enhanced baffle geometries that have not previously been achievable through traditional manufacturing processes, their engineers have created a truly unique design that addresses issues inherent with pistol caliber suppressors.

Benefits of this revolutionary silencer include reduced back pressure, excellent flash reduction, and a class leading acoustic performance with an earthy low frequency tone. Additionally, the MOJAVE 9’s® unique structure is extremely strong and durable featuring high thermal efficiency and rapid cooling that promotes continuous efficient flow of gasses. This leads to a less toxic, lower recoil, and overall, more enjoyable shooting experience by the end user. In short… It is a breath of fresh air.

The two-piece modular design allows the end user to prioritize peak levels of sound reduction as well as lower size and weight, making it more versatile to fit the shooter’s specific needs.  With both the front and rear modules constructed of 6AL-4V Titanium, the innovative design of the MOJAVE 9® results in best-in-class acoustic signature reduction in an incredibly strong, lightweight, and compact package. 

The MOJAVE 9® in full-size configuration ships with a removable booster and a 1/2”x 28 piston, measures 7.64” in length and weighs only 9.6 ounces. The MOJAVE 9® in short configuration weighs in at a remarkably light 8.2 ounces and 5.89” OAL. The rear module is compatible with all Dead Air P-Series mounts and accessories, which include recoil booster, 3-Lug, and Key-Micro.

 

“Having been given the opportunity to design the 9mm suppressor we call the Mojave 9; I really wanted to wow our customers and give them something they’ve never seen before.”

– Mike Smith, Research & Development Engineer

Shop Show 23 – Multi-Function Muzzle Device from Strategic Sciences

Wednesday, October 18th, 2023

Developed under a contract with the the Irregular Warfare Technology Support Directorate (IWTSD), this new suppressor technology from Strategic Sciences is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

This two-piece design has been kept under wraps during development and is the brainchild of Russ Oliver who originally founded OSS Suppressors before moving on to Strategic Sciences. In addition to offering a unique form factor, the flow through suppressor design is 3D printed with the muzzle device attached over the barrel and the suppressor module latched into place in front of the muzzle device. (Yes, ATF is going to call both components suppressors, but this was developed for a military requirement, not commercial sale). Since the muzzle device fits over the barrel, it can’t be used with every rifle configuration.

Word has it this technology works very well. It’s available in 5.56, 7.62 and .338 variants. Below you can see some basic, releasable data on each of the models developed so far with different weapons.

IWTSD is a government office, which is responsible for conducting research and development in support of U.S. and allied organizations involved in Irregular Warfare. Although this includes Special Operations Forces (SOF), there is a variety of other government agencies with IW responsibilities who share mutual needs within this realm. IWTSD works with academia and industry to develop new advanced capabilities. Originally known as the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO), the name was changed to IWTSD, under the Assistant Secretary of Defense Special Operations / Low Intensity Conflict (ASD SO/LIC) in 2021.

Look for more information on this line of suppressors soon.

The SOCOMRC3 Suppressor from SureFire

Thursday, October 12th, 2023

I spent last week putting several thousand rounds through the latest suppressor from SureFire, the SOCOMRC3. I can attest, like the title of this video claims, it offers low back pressure without compromise. I never got even a whiff of exhaust from back pressure. This video is a great introduction to the next generation of SureFire suppressors.

2023 Silencer Summit Sound Test Results

Thursday, September 28th, 2023

Thunder Beast Arms has published the results of the recent Suppressor Summit which tested 185 firearm and suppressor combinations. The event was conducted August 8, 9, & 10th, 2023 at TBAC’s indoor test facility in Cheyenne, WY.

The purpose of the event was:

(1) to test as many silencers as possible in one place at one time with the exact same setup;
(2) to share sound-testing best practices and train additional people on the PULSE;
(3) to compile a large dataset that included a proposed 2m @ 225-degree mic position (in addition to standard milspec-left and “shooter’s ear”), to help analyze the applicability of that mic position for future testing

The event was primarily organized by AAC. TBAC was the host, scientific equipment operator, did the post-analysis, and wrote this report. Representatives from the following companies were present: AAC, AB, Abel, Aero Precision, Allen Engineering, Daniel Defense, Dead Air, Energetic Armament, Griffin Armament, JK Armament, Radical Defense, Resilient, Siege, TBAC, YHM, Allen Arms, Silencer Shop, and Hansohn Brothers. The B&K rep was also present.
