Why You Should Own a Suppressor — 18 Good Reasons

suppressor silencer true pearce gunsamerica digest hearing protection
Read full story in GunsAmerica Digest for all 18 reasons to own a suppressor.

Do you own a suppressor yet? If you live in a state where silencers are allowed, there are many good reasons to get a modern suppressor. The process for acquisition has been streamlined. Vendors such as SilencerCo can now handle most of the legal paperwork required. And the choice of suppressors is greater than ever before.

Along with basic noise reduction, what are the key reasons to get a suppressor? There are actually many. True Pearce, Editor of the GunsAmerica Digest, has written an excellent article about the benefits of suppressors: Why a Silencer Might Prevent Dementia & 17 Other Reasons You Need a Suppressor. Here are FIVE of the 18 reasons outlined in the article. We recommend you read the full story to access ALL 18 reasons. That full article has worthwhile insights for anyone considering getting a suppressor.

CLICK HERE for FULL STORY with ALL 18 REASONS »

Reason — Protect Your Hearing
Owning and using a suppressor helps prevent hearing loss. Hearing loss is a legitimate health concern that all firearms owners should be concerned about. Firearms are loud. The average firearm without a suppressor is between 140-165 dB and creates what is called an impulse noise (i.e. a noise that lasts for less than one second).

OSHA’s limit for impact/impulse noise is 140 dB…. Every time you fire a gun (including a .22 LR) without hearing protection or a suppressor, you can permanently lose hearing and it never returns. Surgery and hearing aids cannot restore the hearing you lose — it’s gone forever. Suppressors do not make your gun silent! However, they can make the impulse noise much less than 140 dB.

Reason — Reduce Muzzle Blast
A suppressor reduces or eliminates muzzle blast. Traditionally, we associate flinching with recoil, and while recoil can contribute to flinching, many shooters are finding that when using a suppressor on a caliber with no recoil they don’t suffer from the concussion, noise, and blast. As a result, they don’t close their eyes, flinch, or jerk the trigger.

Reason — Reduce Felt Recoil
A suppressor … reduces recoil or kick. Nobody that’s telling the truth enjoys getting punched in the shoulder, and that’s essentially what happens when you shoot a lightweight centerfire magnum rifle. Suppressors are very effective at slowing the recoil down or [reducing it significantly]. I personally observed a small (70-lb) 12-year-old boy shoot a 5.5-pound 6.5 PRC with a suppressor. After shooting he got up smiling and said, “That didn’t kick at all!”.

True Pearce Suppressor Silencer GunsAmerica Digest

Reason — Reduce Muzzle Rise to Keep Your View on Target
Suppressors reduce muzzle rise and make it possible to stay on target through your shot [so you can watch the trace and impact]. This allows you to make your own wind calls and corrections.

Reason — Reduce Dust and Dirt Kicked Up from Muzzle Blast
Suppressors prevent snow, dust, dirt, or other debris from blowing up when you shoot prone. If you’ve shot much with muzzle brakes, you know this is a real thing.

New Rimfire Ammo Featured in Shooting Sports USA This Month

Shooting sports usa ssusa march 2023 .22 LR ammo ammunition norma lapua eley

Shooting sports usa ssusa march 2023 .22 LR ammo ammunition norma lapua eleyEvery month Shooting Sports USA (SSUSA), an NRA publication, releases a new issue with a variety of feature stories on gun industry products and important pistol, rifle, and shotgun competitions. SSUSA also regularly posts valuable guides for handloaders, plus instructional articles that can help shooters improve their skills.

The March 2023 Digital Edition of Shooting Sports USA is packed with interesting content. There is a guide to Sighting in New Shooters which covers Eye and Hand Dominance. In addition, there is a big 6-page article on the Best New Products from SHOT Show 2023. But the feature that really caught our attention is a summary of new .22 LR rimfire ammunition.

Match Grade .22 LR Ammunition Offerings for 2023

With the rapid growth of NRL22, NRL22X, PRS 22 and other rimfire rifle sports, we were pleased to see a four-page SSUSA feature on match grade .22 LR ammunition offerings for 2023. This covers new (or notable) rimfire ammo from Lapua, ELEY, Norma, SK, RWS, Aguila, and Wolf.

New for 2023, Norma has released innovative XTREME LR-22 ammo, which features a unique, patented bullet design. This has a special base with a cone (see diagram). Norma claims that this “rocket tail” design reduces drag by creating less negative pressure at the back end of the bullet. It will be interesting to see how this new bullet design works in rimfire ELR competition.

Lapua recently introduced its impressive Super Long Range and Long Range rimfire ammunition. These two new ammo types are optimized for long range accuracy and consistency. The goal was to have extremely low extreme spread (ES) and standard deviation (SD), to yield the highest precision down range. Shooters competing in disciplines such as NRL22X and Rimfire ELR should benefit.
