Silencer Central has revolutionized the suppressor buying process, making it so seamless that I've acquired four new Banish Series cans this year. Now, I feel compelled to build specific guns to host these compact, efficient suppressors.
As a fan of quality gear, I was instantly drawn in from my first call to Silencer Central. There was no hesitation, no second thoughts—just a clear path to adding a Banish Backcountry, rated up to .300 RUM, and a Banish .22 to my collection.
"Make it two and add the new Speed K Ti," I said. Two Backcountries are better than one, and my experience with the Speed K Ti .223 was unforgettable.
Silencer Central's process, done entirely via phone and internet with their eZ-Pay method, made it irresistible. eZ-Pay allows monthly payments during the waiting period for federal paperwork and approval, interest-free. While I expected a year-long wait, the ATF's new quick turnaround meant I received my suppressors in under four months. Silencer Central even offered to hold them if I didn't want to pay immediately, but I opted to "CHARGE IT!" and get them shipped promptly.
The Banish Backcountry has been on my wish list since I tried it on a friend's 6.5 Creedmoor. It's short, efficient, and lightweight at 5.5 x 1.6 inches and 7.8 ounces, making it ideal for almost every hunting gun I own.
Interestingly, the Backcountry performed differently on my AR platform guns. My 300 Blackout, which struggled with suppressed and subsonic rounds, now runs flawlessly. The same goes for my small-framed AR10 in .308 Win. It's now four inches shorter than other cans, perfect for hog blinds.
The Banish .22 is impressively small and efficient, despite being 5.7x28 rated. Its 1-inch diameter fits perfectly on my Tactical Solutions caged, pinned, short-barreled .22s. I should have ordered two. Maybe they'll have another sale soon—the "buy one, get one" deals always tempt me.
The new Speed K Ti, only four-inches long and two-inches in diameter, is made of titanium and weighs 8.6 ounces. It's inspired me to build something short, accurate, and chambered in .223. Testing it on a friend's 16-inch bolt-action ranch rifle was a game-changer.
The weight, balance and sound suppression of the Speed K Ti have made me reconsider its potential. While it fits well on any AR-15, I'm contemplating what kind of hunting gun I could build around it. My wallet, however, might need some recovery time. ~ Chris
