We hear you (pun intended)! This year, we are reporting manufacturer’s sound-reduction rating where available. Now, not every manufacturer makes that information publicly available, so you’ll see a fair number of “N/As” where no decibel-reduction numbers were provided, but rest assured that, despite what you might think, the noise-reduction rating is one of the least important factors when choosing a new suppressor (more on that in a future article). All of these cans reduce firearm report significantly enough that your hearing will be protected when you use them in conjunction with ear pro.
It’s never been easier to buy a suppressor, thanks to NRA’s ongoing efforts to remove them from the NFA and the elimination of the $200 NFA tax starting on January 1, 2026. In the interim, many manufacturers and/or retailers are offering to pay the tax for you over the next few months while it still exists. So, pick one of these new cans and enjoy the polite and safer way to shoot from now on.
