Buying Guide FAQ
Which suppressor brand should I buy?
Start with how you'll use it: caliber, host, mount and weight. Each brand guide has a quick-picks section that matches models to uses, and a comparison table with every model's specs.
Do these guides cover every model a brand makes?
They cover every current model we carry. The Griffin guide also explains how to buy Griffin models we don't list through our Partner Brands program.
Can I buy a suppressor that isn't on your site?
Often, yes. Through our Partner Brands program, you buy directly from the manufacturer, and we handle the ATF paperwork, eForm 4 and delivery to your door.
Do I still pay for a tax stamp?
No. As of January 1, 2026, the federal tax on suppressors and SBRs is $0. Our Form 4 process stays the same for now. See our NFA Ruling Update for the latest.
