In fact, many companies are not even making their own suppressors.

Greg is a mastermind of suppressor technology.

Holding nine patents in suppressors and suppressor design, Greg could be called the godfather of sound suppression.

So, he applied his technical skills and began experimenting with different designs.

Greg later became the president of Gemtech, remaining in that position until 2016.

He parted ways with Gemtech in 2016 and began the process of creating a public image for GSL Technology.

Well, GSL Technology happens to be in my own backyard.

The facility is impressive.

There were various metals being cut and drilled and chunks of metal becoming incredible little baffles and washers.

I was in awe of how clean everything was and just how much was going on in the factory.

I also learned that Greg has a fatherly role there.

GSL Technology has some of the most loyal and dedicated employees I have ever observed.

From raw materials to a finished suppressor, GSL does it all in-house.

Greg walked me through his patented washer retention system, which completely eliminates the suppressor walking off the barrel.

Then, it was time to test some cans.
