AAC Ti-RANT .45 Suppressor Review
My search for a .45 caliber pistol suppressor had narrowed down to the SilencerCo Osprey or the AAC Ti-RANT.

Hearing Protection Act – Fight The Noise!
SilencerCo, the American Suppressor Association, and the SilencerShop have teamed up to introduce a bill to remove silencers (i.e. suppressors) from the NFA.

FailZero EXO Bolt Carrier Group
Anyone who runs a suppressed semi-automatic gun like an AR-15 knows just how dirty the chamber gets. Filthy, in fact. A suppressor works by slowing down the gas through a series of internal baffles.
