SHOT Show 25 – SureFire Fast-Attach Hub

Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025

Designed to bring unparalleled versatility to suppressor systems, the new SureFire Fast-Attach hub converts 1 3/8-24 direct-thread suppressors and accessories into Quick Detach (QD) systems, making them directly compatible with SureFire’s patented Fast-Attach SOCOM muzzle devices.

Users can effortlessly attach a HUB suppressor by sliding it over the SureFire muzzle adapter, indexing on the built-in slot, and securing it with the lock ring at the base. The result? A secure, repeatable, and hassle-free attachment that stands up to even the most demanding environments. The Fast-Attach Hub is the only HUB suppressor mount on the market that mimics the SureFire SOCOM adapter- suppressor interface.

Key Features of the SureFire Fast-Attach Hub:

Converts 1 3/8-24 direct-thread suppressors and accessories to SureFire’s QD system for universal compatibility.

Provides a secure, tool-free connection to SOCOM muzzle devices to simplify your firearm setup.

Simple slide-and-lock mechanism ensures quick and reliable attachment.

The Fast-Attach Hub is not an NFA device and is available wherever SureFire products are sold, without any of the restrictions associated with suppressors.

The Fast-Attach Hub is set to launch at the end of Q1 and will be available through your local SureFire dealer.

American Suppressor Association Issues Statement of Support for Hearing Protection Act Reintroduction

Saturday, January 18th, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the American Suppressor Association (ASA), issued a statement of support for the introduction of the Hearing Protection Act for the 119th Congress by U.S. Representative Ben Cline.

“The Hearing Protection Act is the epitome of commonsense legislation. Law-abiding citizens should not have to pay a tax to protect their hearing when they exercise their Second Amendment rights,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of ASA. “The American Suppressor Association applauds Rep. Cline for his leadership and willingness to fight for the rights of gunowners across the United States. We look forward to continuing productive conversations with members of Congress and the incoming administration to ensure the best policy outcomes for the suppressor industry and entire gun-owning community.”

The Hearing Protection Act would remove suppressors from the burdensome requirements of the National Firearms Act (NFA) and require purchasers to pass an instant NICS check, the same background check used during the sale of long guns. This change will make it is easier for law-abiding hunters and sportsmen to access these hearing safety devices. Congressman Cline’s bill is an enhanced version of the HPA introduced in every Congress for the last decade. The legislation includes a technical change intended to clarify which part of a suppressor must be marked with a serial number.

Background

Suppressors have been federally regulated since the passage of the National Firearms Act of 1934.

In order to purchase a suppressor, prospective buyers must live in a state where suppressors are legal, send in an application including fingerprints and passport photos to the ATF, pay a $200 transfer tax, notify their local Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO), and wait an indeterminate amount of time for ATF to process the application.

Using the same science as car mufflers, suppressors help reduce noise pollution, allowing hunters and recreational shooters to be good neighbors and good stewards of the environment.

Often referred to as “silencers,” suppressors are widely misunderstood by the public due to this misnomer. A suppressor only reduces the sound level of a gunshot to 110-120 decibels, about as loud as a jackhammer or ambulance siren.

Private suppressor ownership is currently legal in 42 states, and hunting with a suppressor is legal in 41 states.

Key Design Features

• Fast attach and removal design that does not require a threaded barrel.

• Has minimal to no point-of-impact shift between suppressed and unsuppressed.

• Does not interfere with the vision of pistol sights.

• Offers comparable sound suppression to conventional pistol suppressors.

• Easy take-apart design for cleaning.

“The FDP Suppressor model is a uniquely capable suppressor that we are excited to bring to the US market,” said Sean Murphy, VP of Product Management. “After we signed the partnership with Fischer Development to bring their design to the US, we found a few design changes needed to meet US regulations. We are excited to have an approved modular mounting system so that users can customize their suppressor setup to fit their preferred host. Work is already underway for additional adapters that fit other popular pistol platforms.”

Availability and Ordering

The FDP Suppressor and its launch adapters will be available for pre-order starting February 2025, with shipments commencing in April 2025. Existing KGM Suppressors dealers will have access to this product, and interested FFL/SOTs are encouraged to inquire about dealer pricing.

Radical Defense BAD-21 Suppressor

Thursday, November 21st, 2024

After successfully suppressing the M2A1 and M2A2 .50cal Machine Guns, RD (Radical Defense) began pursuing the next evolution of the original 50 FVS suppressor. The design intent was a modular, more streamlined, lower weight, higher flow suppressor with a reduced form factor. What followed was the 50 GPS (General Purpose Suppressor) Program.

50 GPS utilizes one suppressor with multiple mounting options via taper lock mount muzzle devices. Each muzzle device is designed with specific internal geometries and thread pitches per use on each intended weaponsystem while using the same, standard external geometries; for example,making the same suppressor useable on a Barrett M107, a McMillan TAC-50, and an M2A1.

Using a 50 GPS muzzle device designed to thread into a barrel shroud, RD mounted and performed limited function testing of 50 GPS on an M3Pwith the eventual goal of adapting 50 GPS for use on the GAU-21.Utilizing customer feedback, in an effort to simplify the system, RDmoved away from a specialized muzzle device and modular suppressor design. Instead, RD developed the BAD-21 specifically for use on theGAU-21, with a primary focus of reducing Blast Overpressure exposure to the warfighter, air frames, and sensitive electronics.

In an effort to design the most rugged, durable machine gun suppressors possible, RD additively manufactures using Haynes 282. The (Blast Attenuation Device) BAD-21 is a monolithic design, without welds or threaded interfaces, which eliminates potential failure points. Additionally, Haynes 282 exhibits exceptional abrasion and wear resistance, and maintains high levels of strength at extreme temperatures.

The BAD-21 threads directly to the Barrel Jacket replacing the flash hider, and is then secured in place using the factory locking screws. Secondary lock can be achieved with the use of safety wire.

The intent with the BAD-21 is to allow the barrel to move freely and reciprocate as normal, while reducing blast overpressure and sound pressure wave experienced by the gunner, pilots, and/or any crewman operating around the weapon, as well as protect sensitive electronics within the blast radius of the muzzle.

Employing RD’s Breathable Technology, the objective with BAD-21 is to significantly reduce any effects of a suppressor on the kinematics of the host weapon, while also venting high pressure gasses forward of the weapon and not back to the operator. In this particular use case, considering the GAU-21’s high cyclic rate, the goal is to not increase the rate of fire of the weapon, cause reliability concerns, decrease MRBS, or increase long term wear and tear on the weapon, its parts or mounts.
