Suppressors offer a number of essential benefits, including enhanced hearing protection and better recoil control. The result? A safer, more pleasant shooting experience for everyone. If you're on the fence about buying a suppressor, this blog is for you.
The modern shooter has access to more innovative firearms technology than ever before, but few accessories rival the importance of a well-made suppressor. These muzzle devices effectively transform the shooting experience by drastically reducing the auditory report when a gun is fired.
Suppressors (also called silencers) have been in service with military and law enforcement for decades, and have become increasingly popular on the civilian market as well. With streamlined processes and shorter wait times, the benefits of suppressor ownership are too good to pass up.
As the name suggests, the primary benefit of a suppressor is sound suppression. Gunshots are incredibly loud and can damage hearing after prolonged or repeated exposure. Suppressors mitigate that risk by lowering the sound threshold to tolerable levels.
Traditional hearing protection (ear muffs or ear plugs) is still recommended in most cases, but its absence will be far less detrimental should you need to discharge your firearm in an emergency situation.
Additionally, a suppressor virtually eliminates muzzle flash. This is crucial if you're shooting in low-light environments like a dark bedroom or hallway. For example, running a can on your home defense gun provides a tactical advantage by concealing your position from intruders.
Most shooters experience a noticeable difference in recoil when shooting suppressed. The weight of the suppressor combined with the slowing and cooling of propellant gases can help dampen recoil and improve accuracy.
When shooting in enclosed spaces, the resulting concussive force is, at the very least, unpleasant to experience. A suppressor can drastically reduce the negative effects typically associated with close proximity to sustained gunfire.
Home defense is perhaps the most universal application for shooting suppressed, given the close quarters and lighting conditions present in the average house or apartment. To learn more about using suppressors for home defense, watch our video below!
