Suppressors Looks like Silencerco bought SWR,,,

[RollingThunder51]

Breaking news, looks like Gemtech's only real competitor for entry level cans, that being SWR, may have just got picked up by Silencerco...

Should be interesting as entry level just got a whole lot easier to navigate..

That will mean that there will be a 6 month wait for those too?

Re: Looks like Silencerco bought SWR,,,

No idea what that means except the consolidation that we spoke about 6 months ago has only just begun...

hmmm...That seems odd Henry builds good cans.

After reading the announcement looks like it'll be a win for both companies and customers.

Combining the knowledge of the two on a rifle suppressor design will turn out an awesome product. SWR made great cans to begin with but SilencerCO is just a step ahead of the game in the pistol cans. I am excited to see what becomes of them.

Re: Looks like Silencerco bought SWR,,,

I'm curious about your "entry level cans" comment.
Maybe you should do a bit of research on GEMTECH and AWC as well. Both of those companies were building cans and doing their own real R&D work since the mid 70's.
I think if you check around a bit they both do a ton of military contracts world wide. So did Joe Gaddini when he owned SWR.
I would hardly call their suppressors "entry level."
Maverick, you are correct on one thing, Henry does build some nice units.
Blast away...
