All silencers reduce sound and recoil ... but they don't all actively work to keep your pistol running smoothly.

BANISH recoil and report, you say? Well, while suppressors don't completely eliminate the noise of a centerfire round, they can reduce the report to something a lot more hearing-safe. They also reduce perceived recoil. What they don't all do is help keep your pistol running smoothly ... and that's why BANISH just announced its latest advanced pistol suppressor for the 9mm chambering: the new BANISH 9. Created to be the quietest 9mm suppressor on the market, the BANISH 9 also boasts a major advancement in functionality with the new BANISH Micro Booster.

The BANISH 9, on average, reduces sound output from the 9mm by 34 decibels. Crafted from titanium with a 7075-aluminum main tube that includes 14 baffles, the BANISH 9 is 7.16" long and weighs 8.57 oz. configured with the Micro Booster installed. Remove the Micro Booster and cut the length to 6.8" and the weight to 6.73 oz. by running it as a direct thread mount. It is rated for .380 ACP, 9mm, .300 BLK, and 350 Legend, and is full auto rated with 9mm supersonic and .300 BLK subsonic ammo.

“We designed the BANISH 9 with the goal of maximum sound suppression across a variety of firearm platforms, and while we focused on 9mm, we wanted to accommodate a range of popular chambering,” said Lukas VanLaecken, BANISH Suppressors Director of Engineering. “Not only is it one of the quietest 9mm suppressors on the market, it's also lightweight and versatile, and utilizes BANISH's Micro Booster, a proprietary Nielsen device assembly, along with additional direct thread options for pistol caliber carbines.”

As with all BANISH silencers, it carries a lifetime warranty against all manufacturing defects and damage caused by normal use. MSRP $899; BanishSuppressors.com
