Silencer Central exists to help its customers easily navigate suppressor ownership and all the processes that go with it.
Frustrated, Brandon figured there had to be a better way to approach this issue.
The day finally came when his tax stamp returned, and he set out to that favorite hunting spot.
Born from a great idea 20 years ago, Silencer Central has grown into a powerhouse in the industry that sells more than 100K suppressors a year.
Drawing down on the furry little pests, he knew it had been worth all the effort.
He decided to purchase a second suppressor, one that was shorter and lighter.
At this point, Brandon decided to make his own suppressor based on what he wanted and needed.
CEO and owner of Silencer Central, Brandon Maddox, is a longtime firearms enthusiast and the force behind the company’s impressive growth.
A Better Way?
This proved to be so successful that people in other states wanted to purchase suppressors through him.
It was at this point that Silencer Central was born.
When I purchased my first silencer it felt like utter chaos … .
I knew there had to be an easier way.
Out of that 52,000 square feet, 10,000 of it houses inventory awaiting approval.
Silencer Central carries a broad line of suppressor offerings and makes the buying process as simple as possible.
Silencer Central prides itself on good customer experiences as well as making the process as easy as possible.
During the Covid pandemic, Silencer Central developed a touchless process to purchase suppressors, and sales boomed.
Customers would do all their paperwork digitally and then send their fingerprints on their own.
Silencer Central also produces its own multi-caliber suppressors, the Banish line.
After 15 years in business, Silencer Central has streamlined the process and the payment method.
The cost for barrel threading starts at a very reasonable $99.99.
Silencer Central then walks you through all the paperwork to submit your eForm for your suppressor.
The Banish multi-caliber suppressor is manufactured from titanium and features light weight as well as impressive sound reduction.
These eForms are a more modern way to transfer suppressors.
Silencer Central also allows you to use their eZ-pay system when purchasing your suppressor.
The eZ-pay system is made up of four interest-free monthly payments made while your items are pending ATF approval.
Sound suppressors are burdened with a lot of paperwork and red tape. Silencer Central attempts to make the buying process easier.
Being Direct
The last step in the process is … patience.
Even with eForms, the wait time can be unpredictable and longer than desired.
Silencer Central is able to ship direct because they are licensed in all 42 states where suppressors are legal.
Shipping directly to your door is one of the key features of the Silencer Central shopping experience.
Good customer service is at the core of the Silencer Central business model.
Insourcing
Another difficulty in reselling suppressors is the transfer time for dealers.
When a dealer purchases from the manufacturer, there can be a long wait time.
This can create issues with keeping products in stock.
Remember that suppressor Brandon made for himself?
What resulted from that effort would turn into the current Banish line of multi-caliber suppressors offered by Silencer Central.
Since Silencer Central makes the Banish line itself, it can pass all the savings onto the customer.
The Banish 30 is the best-selling suppressor in the line-up, covering from .17 up to .30-cal.
The more we normalize and expand suppressor ownership, the better it will be for all of us.
Wrapping up my conversation with Brandon, I asked him what he wanted to accomplish with Silencer Central.
He replied, I want every shooter in America to experience shooting suppressed.
Once you try it, you cannot go back to being unsuppressed.
Brandon, I must say that I totally agree with that statement!
