One of the lesser-known segments of the suppressor industry, shotgun suppressors have been growing in popularity along with suppressor ownership and usage as a whole. Just because you’re in the field hunting for upland game or busting clays at your local range doesn’t mean you can’t protect your hearing, and suppressor makers have worked to further develop this unique niche, giving shotgunners more versatility and capability across different gauges.
Check out the three latest shotgun suppressors out this year.
Banish | 410
Using additive manufacturing, this suppressor is built specifically for .410-bore shotguns. Lightweight and versatile with interchangeable choke tubes, it delivers quiet performance without sacrificing balance or sight picture. The 410’s unorthodox shape keeps the bulk of the suppressor below the barrel, giving you a clear, uninterrupted view from the bead to the bird.
