Banish 12 Shotgun Suppressor: First Look

Designed specifically with hunters in mind, the BANISH 12 12-gauge shotgun suppressor was designed to reduce report and recoil while preserving the shotgun’s handling and performance. To that end, the BANISH 12 was engineered to be as light and compact as possible, while still delivering hearing-safe suppression. It also offers unobstructed sight lines and utilizes interchangeable chokes to ensure shooters can see their targets and adjust their shot patterns. 

“I am excited to finally unveil the BANISH 12 shotgun suppressor,” said Brandon Maddox, BANISH Suppressors Founder and CEO. “Our engineering team has been working on this project for a long time, going through more than 50 design iterations to make sure they got it right. They challenged themselves to develop the first true hunting shotgun suppressor, and they nailed it. The BANISH 12 is a gamechanger, and I’m excited to see it in waterfowl blinds, uplands fields, and turkey woods this season.”

Waterfowl hunts are commonly a group outing, and those that have been in a full blind know that when the call comes to “take ‘em,” it can get very loud. Silencer Central notes that the BANISH 12 dramatically suppresses the sound of the shot and is capable of bringing most 12-gauge loads down to hearing safe levels.

The key to the BANISH 12 is the use of additive manufacturing and its all-titanium construction. Durable and comparatively light at just 17.6 ounces, the BANISH 12’s distinct exterior was rendered to ensure the suppressor would not obstruct the shooter’s sight line, from the barrel to the bead to the bird.

The BANISH 12 uses a specialized mount that matches your shotgun’s choke tube design, and additional mounts are available for swapping the suppressor between different shotgun makes and models. To tune shot patterns, the BANISH 12 comes with its own set of three choke tubes – Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full – that screw into the end of the suppressor. Additional chokes in a variety of constrictions are also available for purchase.

The BANISH 12 is available now at Silencer Central and participating dealers. For more information, visit BANISHsuppressors.com.
