At the 2026 NRA Annual Meeting, Ryan Gresham sits down with Brandon Maddox of Silencer Central to talk about what’s really happening in the suppressor world right now.

Big takeaway? Things have changed—a lot.

Wait times that used to stretch close to a year are now down to days or weeks, the $200 tax is gone, and the process is getting more streamlined by the minute. Maddox also shares what he’s seeing from inside the industry, including potential regulatory changes, easier purchasing options, and how companies are working directly with agencies to simplify the process.

They also break down:What silencers people are actually buying right now
