Iam sure many of you’re free to relate to this.
Now, lets snap back to reality and ask ourselves a few questions.
Are suppressors or silencers legal?
How do suppressors work?
What steps do we need to go through to purchase a suppressor?
And, is it worth all the trouble?
The answer is, generally, yes.
But, this depends on which state you live in.
Some states do not permit ownership, but federally they are allowed.
They do, however, suppress the sound signature of gunfire by a significant amount.
Suppressors work by trapping expanding gasses from the fired round once it is ignited.
There are numerous multi-caliber models available that can work with a range of calibers.
If you want to purchase a suppressor, you will need to submit an ATF Form 4.
Both forms require a $200 tax to process, which is not typically included with the suppressor cost.
For example, my purchase of two suppressors is indicative of this situation.
There is some good news, however!
The new ATF eForms have been rolled out.
The ATF stated they have a processing target of 90 days.
Worth the Effort?
But, it is still a process.
Suppressing a firearm is fun and good for the ears.
If you ask me, its well worth the effort!
