The suppressor industry was out in force at Knob Creek on Thursday at the Third Annual American Suppressor Association Media Day and Guns.com was there.

Vendors including Thunder Beast, Daniel Defense, SilencerCo, Sig Sauer, YHM, Gemtec, Liberty Suppressors, and AAC were on hand showing off their latest and greatest, as well as a few interesting items they had around the shop. With the rapidly growing and evolving suppressor manufacturing pool a vibrant part of the Americans firearms industry, you can expect such events, like the sound moderating devices they show off, to become more commonplace.

SilencerCo brought a SIX12 Modular Shotgun out to play, complete with Salvo suppressor, which was a crowd-pleaser.
