Armament continues to refine its modular suppressor lineup with the release of the JK 155 RPX 9K, a compact, booster-ready evolution of the RPX series designed for 9mm pistols and pistol-caliber carbines. Built around JK’s advanced RPX baffle geometry and a user-configurable stack, the RPX 9K prioritizes adaptability, pressure management, and real-world shootability in a lightweight, duty-capable package.
Banish Suppressors has unveiled the Banish 556, its first suppressor produced using additive manufacturing. Designed as a full-auto-rated, flow-through 5.56 suppressor, the Banish 556 combines DMLS construction, an Inconel core, and a compact form factor to support sustained firing and long-term durability.
Ambient Arms’ EXO 5.56 suppressor caught my attention not because of marketing hype, but because it challenges long-standing assumptions about suppressor design. Its patent-pending Intake System, combined with a flow-through architecture, represents a thoughtful attempt to rethink how heat, gas, and sound are managed as a complete system. Whether the EXO ultimately lives up to its claims or not, the engineering intent alone signals a meaningful step forward—and the kind of innovation the suppressor industry needs.
Aero Knox and C3 Firearms have teamed up to create the AX // Hyve suppressor. With a honeycomb blast chamber and advanced internal baffle geometry, the design reduces first-round pop, controls gas flow, and improves flash suppression across sustained firing sequences.
Palmetto State Armory and B&T USA have unveiled the Sabre Suppressor, a low‑back pressure 5.56 design built using 3D‑printed Inconel 718. With a helical baffle system, internal and external dimpling, and a Plan B HUB mount included, the Sabre is aimed at reducing gas blowback and system disruption. Pricing hasn’t been announced, and real‑world performance remains to be seen.
The Noveske Amigo is a compact, KX3-compatible suppressor built for 13.7” 5.56 rifles—durable, precise, and purpose-driven.
Breek Arms has unveiled the Breek-LOK 3QD Quick Detach Suppressor Mount, a lightweight and precision-engineered mounting solution designed for firearm enthusiasts and professionals.
The time has come once again for hunters all over to don their camouflage clothing and embark on their favorite pastime. As hunters gear up for the season, one name stands out in the world of firearm accessories: Silencer Central. This reputable company has made it their mission to provide high-quality suppressors for hunters, and they’ve taken their commitment to the next level by introducing the Buck 30 suppressor in collaboration with the Buck Commander team.
Recently, True Velocity announced the acquisition of suppressor manufacturer Delta P. Design. Delta P is based in Oregon and specializes in 3D-printed suppressor technology. True Velocity and Delta P previously worked together as a part of True Velocity’s bid for the NGSW program. This acquisition comes when True Velocity is gearing up for a request in the forthcoming solicitation to submit a lightweight machine gun with a suppressor.
What if you didn’t have to ball on a budget? What would you build? Most of us when we build a rifle are always prioritizing what is important in the rifle build. We can usually splurge here or there on certain parts of the build. You might spend a little extra cash on the barrel, trigger, or BCG. You always look to make a highly optimized rifle but, it doesn’t have that full touch of complete. At, least I have that feeling during a build.
