Statesboro, GA, January 25, 2020— Enfield Rifle Company, a new US silencer manufacturer, recently announced the release of their Patent Pending NOVUS™ Silencer System. Designed by an Army Ranger turned Mechanical Engineer, this new take on multi-caliber and modularity allows for a new level of user optimization never before seen.
NOVUS, the first silencer introduced by Enfield Rifle Company, is a Patent Pending game changer. This multi-caliber silencer allows the user to optimize the silencer for any firearm ranging from .17 HMR through 458 SOCOM and pistol calibers up to and including .45 ACP.
While being constructed from the most durable materials on the market, the NOVUS™ can be optimized within minutes to fit a multitude of firearms. What does this mean for the consumer? Multiple rifles or handguns, one silencer.
The Modular Baffle Core™ technology not only allows quick caliber class configuration, but also makes it easy to clean the baffles as well as change the blast baffle. This will allow for optimal life of the silencer. While easy at home routine cleaning keeps the carbon build up from diminishing performance and adding weight to the silencer over time.
Not only does the NOVUS deliver superior value with its revolutionary 3-in-1 design, it also provides dB levels comparable to dedicated caliber suppressors. All in a lightweight package weighing in at only 14 ounces in its max configuration.

West Valley City, UT – West Valley City, UT – The Octane 9 and 45 are back by popular demand. The Octane maintains its industry leading Click-Together Assembly (CTA), while updating the outer tube design and we have also added markings to the outside of the baffles to help with the alignment of the baffle ports for the optimal sound suppression. This user serviceable suppressor is a versatile choice for someone looking to outfit their pistol, pistol caliber carbine, or sub gun. The Octane offers premium performance for an unbeatable new price.
The Octane 9 and 45 are full-auto rated for their designated calibers as well as 300 Blackout Subsonic. The Octane baffles are made from 17-4 Stainless Steel providing high wear resistance, and an aluminum outer tube to save weight. This durable and effective offering will meet all your pistol caliber needs.
The Octane 9 and 45 will ship with a spring retainer and spring. The Octane is compatible with Alpha Direct Thread Mounts and SilencerCo pistons. The Octane 9 MSRP is $624 and the Octane 45 is $624. The Octane 9 and 45 are shipping to distributors and dealers now.
The new Model 2 wipe-style suppressor from the Hush Puppy Project weighs 3.7 ozs and is only 3” long yet delivers superb sound reduction thanks to a patent-pending arrangement of sound-dampening “wipes”. The Model 2 will be shown at the upcoming 2020 SHOT Show next week in Las Vegas along with a new slide-locked Glock G19 Gen 5 pistol with a Glock factory threaded barrel and factory suppressor height sights.
The Model 2 is the smallest and lightest silencer ever produced by the Hush Puppy Project. Designed to be shot “wet” for maximum sound reduction, the Model 2 features six wipes held by a patent-pending module that clips the wipes into place. The fully functional Auxiliary Module allows for added length and wipes for additional suppression or the wipes in the Auxiliary Module allow reloading of the primary module.
Additionally, a new Hush Puppy slide-locked Glock G19 Gen 5 pistol with a Glock factory threaded barrel will be shown for the first time at the SHOT Show. New for 2020, Glock is introducing a threaded-barrel model of their popular G19 Gen 5 and the Hush Puppy Project is offering this pistol with our patented Slide Lock Device to render the pistol a locked breech, manually operated single-shot, eliminating the sound of the slide cycling for the quietest shot possible.
Hush Puppy Project’s sister company, Super Vel Ammunition, will be introducing a recreation of the U.S. Navy SEALs’ Mk 144 Mod 0 9mm subsonic ammunition at the SHOT Show. Super Vel and Hush Puppy can be found at booth 1720 and with their distributor Lipsey’s at booth 11329.

Big news from SIG. For the first time in over a century, the US military has safety certified bot a new weapon as well as ammunition at the same time.
They also certified a suppressor at the same time, a first.
These weapons are undergoing a combat evaluation by MARSOC on behalf of USSOCOM and the US Marine Corps.
I recently had an opportunity to fire the SIG SAUER MG 338 machine gun. It is extremely controllable and weighs less than an M240.
Here is their press release.
NEWINGTON, N.H., (January 13, 2020) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is pleased to announce the United States Special Operation Command (USSOCOM), working closely with SIG SAUER, has completed a safety certification of the new SIG SAUER MG 338 Machine Gun, SIG SAUER 338 Norma Mag Ammunition, and Next Generation Suppressors. Following this historic official safety certification, SIG SAUER has completed deliveries of multiple systems, comprised of the MG 338 Machine Guns, 338 Norma Mag Ammunition, and Next Generation Suppressors – all researched, designed, engineered, and manufactured by SIG SAUER in the U.S.A.
“The safety certification of the complete SIG SAUER MG 338 system, and delivery of the system to USSOCOM is historically very significant. For the first time in decades the U.S. Military certified a new machine gun, ammunition, and suppressor at the same time, bringing new innovation, portability, and increased lethality to our ground forces, with all components coming from one company,” began Ron Cohen, President and CEO, SIG SAUER, Inc. “This certification was achieved following the outstanding performance of the complete MG 338 system through the rigors of the extensive function, durability, and safety tests set forth by USSOCOM.”
The SIG MG 338 bridges the gap between the current machine guns currently in use with the U.S. Military. In comparison to the current M240 (7.62x51cal) machine gun, which has been in service with the U.S. Military for 60 years, the SIG MG 338, is noticeably lighter, weighing only 20 pounds, and provides significantly more range and lethality. In comparison to the M2 (.50cal), which has been in service with the U.S. Military for 110 years, the MG 338 is approximately one-quarter the weight, and in a historic first, offers a man-portable solution with similar effective-range. Making this system even more desirable are the new SIG SAUER Next Generation Suppressors which drastically reduces the impact of harmful toxic fumes and signature, making the operator less vulnerable.
The SIG SAUER MG 338 machine gun is a belt-fed, lightweight medium machine gun weighing under 20lbs., chambered in 338 Norma Mag. The MG 338 features a short-stroke gas piston system and a proprietary recoil mitigation system, with a free-floating, quick-change barrel, ambidextrous controls, switchable feed tray, charging handle that can be alternated to either side depending on operator preference, and as a modern, multi-caliber, modular system the new SIG MG 338 is easily convertible to 7.62x51cal.
“We are incredibly proud of this historical accomplishment and honored to have received this safety certification by USSOCOM for the performance of the complete MG 338 system,” concluded Cohen.
Watertown, WI, January 14, 2020 — After fourteen years of dedicated professional work and development in the sound suppressor market, Griffin Armament is proud to introduce the Bushwhacker® 46, a universal sound suppressor designed to maximize feature functionality, performance, and value with a vast selection of caliber compatibility.
The Bushwhacker’s durable 1.375×24 threaded 17-4 stainless steel tube chassis, is supplied with a Griffin Plan-A Taper Mount adapter, Taper Mount muzzle device, and a booster piston housing. These factory inclusions allow the Bushwhacker to quickly and easily be configured for centerfire rifle or handgun use. Its .46 caliber diameter provides end users with the most caliber flexibility possible, while retaining quality sound suppression. .450 Bushmaster, .458 socom, .45-70 Govt, and other large bore calibers are at home with the Bushwhacker 46. Additionally, .30 caliber Paladin blast shield front cap can be interfaced with the Bushwhacker 46 further improving sound performance on the Paladin with 30 caliber and lesser rounds like .308 Win, .300 BLK, and 6.5 Creedmoor.
Sound suppressors can increase in weight and reduce in internal volume, losing performance over time from carbon and copper accumulation. The Bushwhacker features Griffin Armament’s unique, patented Ratchet-lok end cap which provides the user with a robust mechanism to disassemble their suppressor easily for periodic cleaning and maintenance. This consumer demanded technology and the included tools ensure that your investment can be reset to factory weight and sound performance specifications with minor preventative maintenance.
The Bushwhacker 46 also features Griffin’s patented High Efficiency, Dual Purpose baffle technology. HEDP baffles are engineered to provide balanced sound performance on a host of popular calibers and firearms. The bushwhacker’s 6AL4V Titanium HEDP baffles provide impressive sound performance measuring 141dB with full power .450 Bushmaster, 126dB with .300 blackout subsonic, and 130dB with .45 ACP. The 17-4 Stainless tube, front cap and Titanium baffle stack give put the Bushwhacker at 16.3 ounces in its Rifle configuration and 18.1 ounces in a pistol configuration.
Additional accessory support allows the Bushwhacker to be mounted to a myriad of hosts via the 3-lug QD kit, Plan-A XL, or the 1.375×24 A2 adapter. A specialty mount was also designed and manufactured for mounting the Bushwhacker to an unmodified 1928a1 Thompson via the Cutts Compensator.
Performance, Durability, and Versatility are hallmarks of the Griffin Armament brand. These qualities are embodied in the Bushwhacker® 46 and will ensure this universal sound suppressor remains a highly demanded product for years to come.
