What do you think of a shotgun suppressor??

I love the idea but I see this being expensive for my O/U.

$1400 msrp and $200 stamp. Only thing hindering me from getting one.

Been watching "No Country for Old Men"?? Given the difference between shotgun shells and conventional rifle/handgun rounds, it seems like it'd be difficult to successfully reduce the sound signature of a shotgun very much. I noticed how carefully their website worded their claim. No mention of average amount of sound reduction.

"At its full length of 12 inches, it brings sound down to 137 dB at the muzzle — well below the 140 dB hearing-safe level set by OSHA."

Anyway, TOOOO pricey for me.

Oooooo, need one

I would put it on an Salient Benelli M4 or Salient Benelli M3. The only way I cpuld justify that supressor price is to buy a really nice combat shotgun.

I love cans but just don't see the market for this. It's too expensive and too specialized to be too popular. Hunters won't use it because of weight and tacticool guys won't use it because of price.

Jmo.

I would never think to burden one of my guns with something so ugly.

Things more useless than tits on a bull for $200, Alex.

If you do believe that the anti-gun tendencies in your area run a little too strong to risk a suppressor, you should think long and hard about the home defense weapon you keep on hand. Pretty much anything that would give you an advantage against an intruder could cause issues; including weapon lights, trigger jobs, upgraded sights, short barreled weapons, +P ammunition, etc…

I used to work for a gun store in Nashville. There was another store (it wasn't really a competitor, since they served a different market) where the owner had his own line of ammo, sold under the name "Blue Bunny." The guy was a Harvard Law grad and knew that prosecutors seize on things like ammo names ("The defendant obviously acted with malice aforethought, why else would he use those military grade PDX bullets!?" He reasoned that there was no prosecutor in the world that could credibly argue that you were a stone cold killer because you shot a home intruder with "Blue Bunny" ammo.
