Banish 12 Shotgun Suppressor Lede

Have you ever done any wingshooting or clays shooting with a suppressed shotgun? The reduction in report is great, but what's even better (to many) is the serious reduction in felt recoil. Since recoil is one of the primary reasons some new shooters find shotguns intimidating, Silencer Central's all-new BANISH 12 from BANISH Suppressors may be just the ticket for recoil-sensitive folks.

Designed for hunting (but also perfectly appropriate for clay targets), the BANISH 12 represents the next evolution in wingshooting. With hearing-safe sound suppression, a lightweight and compact design, interchangeable choke tubes, and unobstructed sightlines, the BANISH 12 is "really unlike anything else on the market," said Brandon Maddox, founder and CEO of Silencer Central.

“The feedback has already been so positive,” he continued. “A true, first-of-its kind sporting suppressor for 12-gauge shotguns.”

Crafted entirely from titanium using additive manufacturing, the new BANISH 12 weighs just 17.6 ozs. and is 8.55" long. Interestingly, its distinct shape will not interfere with the shooter’s line of sight between the front bead and the target. The BANISH 12 uses an interchangeable mount that affixes to the shotgun’s choke tube threading. Mounts for a variety of popular shotgun makes and models are available. To tune shot patterns, the BANISH 12 comes with three screw-in chokes – Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full – and additional choke tubes will be available for purchase. 

The BANISH 12 is available for purchase now. MSRP $1,199; SilencerCentral.com
