Sig Sauer Endure
Attending stadium rock concerts and shooting firearms without some form of ear protection are two of the most surefire ways to sustain hearing loss. I’m betting there are very few Dead Heads (Grateful Dead fans) out there who don’t answer every question with, “What?” Same goes for those rifle-range junkies who go through ammo by the crate without giving their ears a second thought. Studies show that prolonged sounds above 70dB can cause hearing damage — everyday activities such as listening to loud music, frequenting loud bars and restaurants, mowing the lawn or operating power tools, for example.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the maximum level humans can tolerate without doing damage to their ears is 70dB over a 24-hour period. And loud noises above 120dB can cause immediate harm — even a single extremely loud noise event such as close proximity to the discharge of a firearm. Here are some other examples: rock concert = 110-120dB; nearby thunder = 120dB; jet engine takeoff = 140dB; power tools 100-110dB. Even noisy workplaces with a decibel rating of over 85dB can damage ears over the course of time.
Wearing hearing protection devices, such as earmuffs or plugs, reduces gun reports by roughly 20 to 30dB. Unfortunately, these devices can be cumbersome in the field. A better solution for hunters is to tame muzzle blast at the source — reducing the sound signature of their firearms by equipping them with a suppressor. Suppressors decrease the acoustic intensity and recoil of the shot by modulating the speed and pressure of the propellant gas from the muzzle and suppressing the muzzle blast — anywhere from around 23 to 36dB sound reduction depending on the type of suppressor. Suppressors turn the mighty roar of that favorite high-octane rifle into a muffled snarl.
Many rifles today come factory threaded for adding muzzle brakes or suppressors, which can be easily attached. Here are several models your customers might want to check out.
Daniel SoundGuard SG-30 Powered by KGM
The Daniel SoundGuard Powered by KGM Suppressors ($773) utilizes cutting-edge gas-flow
dynamics that eliminate over-gassing by directing most gasses forward, not back in
the shooter’s face. KGM technology significantly lowers impulse noise levels, protecting against hearing loss, while the baffle stack and proprietary coating on internal parts reduce a firearm’s flash signature to virtually zero. Gas-flow pathing stabilizes rounds to ensure extreme accuracy with minimal point-of-impact shift. The SG-30 is compatible with .223- through .300 PRC-caliber firearms and is constructed of lightweight, durable stainless steel. It attaches/detaches in seconds via an included adapter utilizing the HUB standard 1.375-24 UNS, which provides secure attachment while adding minimal length and allowing for the use of a variety of other muzzle attachments.
Dead Air Silencers Nomad Ti XC
The next chapter of the venerable Nomad Ti is here — the Nomad Ti XC ($1,099), a lightweight model designed for hunters on the go. The Nomad XC series features an enhanced two-stage coaxial baffle system with pressure-harnessing structures that regulate both low-pressure and high-pressure rounds — squeezing even more strength per ounce out of the Nomad Ti XC while providing even better sound performance and precision. Hunters and precision shooters already have enough on their minds to take, or even get, the right shot. The lightweight and phenomenal sound-suppression design make the Nomad Ti XC a logical choice when covering distance and speed are part of the game. Made from Grade 5 6A1-4V titanium; caliber rating is .300 RUM.

Its adaptability is further enhanced by interchangeable direct thread mounts utilizing a standard HUB system, allowing seamless integration with various platforms spanning from 5.56mm to .300 Win. Mag. For those seeking extraordinary performance, the Thud Lite M variant extends compatibility to the formidable .338 Lapua Mag. The Thud Lite features swappable end caps that allow users to optimize sound reduction performance.
Huxwrx Flow 762 Ti
By 3D-printing with Grade 5 titanium, the Flow 762 Ti ($1,623) is the lightest rifle suppressor available from Huxwrx Safety Company, with zero sacrifice to quality, longevity, durability and functionality. The Flow 762 Ti is the latest evolution in Flow-Through technology, delivering above and beyond toxic fume mitigation, accuracy and repeatability. This innovative multi-caliber suppressor utilizes proven Flow-Through and Torque Lock technologies. The integrated GeoFlash Cap geometry effectively mitigates flash as part of its overall signature reduction functionality. The Flow 762 Ti is full-auto rated and compatible with 5.56mm, 6.5 and 7.62mm platforms with no barrel restrictions. No modifications (other than QD muzzle device) to the platform or gas system are required to install or operate this suppressor.
Maxim Defense PRS-30
The PRS suppressor line by Maxim Defense ($695) is engineered to create a significant reduction in sound and flash signatures and recoil reduction while improving accuracy. PRS suppressors have been crafted to be the lightest options for hunting and precision shooting while achieving unmatched strength and a previously impossible strength-to-weight ratio. Constructed from 7075 aluminum with a Grade 5 titanium thread insert, the Maxim Defense .30-caliber PRS-30 is 7.9 inches in length and has a circumference of 5.5 inches and an outer diameter of 1.75 inches, and it weighs 10.8 ounces.

Nosler SR-30K Compact
The SR-30K Suppressor ($729) is based on Nosler’s SR-30AlTi model, which features aluminum and titanium construction for the lightest possible weight, striking a balance between overall length and noise reduction. At less than 6 inches long and weighing 7.2 ounces, the K-Can is a pleasure to carry and easier to maneuver than a full-size suppressor, making it ideal in a treestand or ground blind or on longer rifles. It incorporates the same attachment system as the rest of the Nosler suppressor line and can be mounted either over a brake or direct-threaded to the muzzle with the use of the included adaptor. When space and weight are at a premium, the K-Can is a great, economical solution for noise and blast reduction.
