Kel-Tec has updated their 9mm SUB2000 carbine to a Gen 3 model. Upgrades include a metal trigger and it will accept a GLOCK 17 magazine. Additionally, the charging handle in the stock features bolt hold open slots in either direction.
But the biggest change is that the barrel twists and folds so that you can keep optics mounted even when folded.

SIG has an amazing booth, easily the largest at the show, but there’s not much new on display. In addition to showcasing SIG Connect which is an app-based entertainment and training platform, there are a couple of gems to be found here and there.
One of those is this concept for a version of the Cross bolt action rifle featuring wood furniture.
At this point they haven’t decided whether they are going to do it or not and are soliciting feedback. Personally, I like it.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – May 16, 2024 – Silencer Central, America’s leading manufacturer and retailer of suppressors, announces the newest model to join the BANISH line – the BANISH® Speed K Ti, a 5.56 caliber suppressor manufactured from high-quality titanium.
The Speed K Ti, using the same design as the award-winning BANISH Speed K, is made from titanium to achieve a lighter weight of only 8.2 ounces. At 4 inches in length, the Speed K Ti is the perfect choice when maneuverability is most important. Also featuring controlled flow technology and a vented fourth baffle, this 5.56 suppressor minimizes blowback for a better shooting experience.
“Building upon the success of the original BANISH Speed K released in 2023, this all-titanium version takes performance to the next level,” said Brandon Maddox, CEO of Silencer Central. “We saw an opportunity to take that design and create the perfect silencer for home defense, hunting and competition use. The BANISH Speed K Ti is our most compact, lightweight silencer for the .223 round to date.”
Testing shows the BANISH Speed K Ti reduces the sound by 24.4 decibels at the muzzle and 20.6 dB at the ear with a 16-inch barrel. Shooters looking for a compact 5.56 caliber suppressor will love the size and performance of the BANISH Speed K Ti. It is perfect for predator and varmint hunters who want a compact can for tight spaces, and hog hunters chasing wild pigs from the land and air.
BANISH Speed K Ti Specifications:
• Caliber: 5.56
• Material: Titanium
• Length: 4”
• Circumference: 2”
• Weight: 8.2oz (without mount)
• Sound Reduction: 16″ barrel – 24.4db at muzzle, 20.6db at ear
• MSRP: $1,399
The Speed K Ti will make its debut at the NRA Annual Meeting & Exhibits, May 16-19, 2024, at booth #10731. Silencer Central’s original Speed K suppressor will be recognized with the Suppressor of the Year Award by NRA’s Shooting Illustrated.
With a legacy spanning over 18 years, Silencer Central emerged as a pioneer, offering customers a streamlined process for legally obtaining firearm sound suppressors.
