Galco Announces the New Paragon AIWB Holster

January 22, 2019 By G&A Online Editors

Galco Gunleather introduced the Paragon AIWB at the 2019 SHOT Show! Adjustable for angle from strongside to crossdraw, the ambidextrous Paragon is ideally suited for the popular appendix mode of carry.With a Kydex holster body, the Paragon offers comfortable carry, fast draw and easy return to holster. Dual tuckable belt clips ride in slots fore and aft of the gun body, allowing adjustment for ride height and carry angle.

Twin tension units allow easy adjustment of the draw stroke. Raised sweat guards on both sides of the handgun protect the wear’s body from the gun and promote a smooth and safe return to holster. Included with the Paragon is an optional claw-type stabilizing wing for those gun carriers who prefer it.

The Paragon comes with Galco’s patent-pending polymer UniClip for excellent concealment, stability and easy on-off capability, and functions well with single or dual clips. Galco’s Ultimate Stealth clips are available as an optional purchase for those who prefer even deeper concealment. Available in black, the Paragon retails for $79.

2024 Guns & Ammo Suppressor of the Year Award: Silencer Central Banish Speed K

After evaluating the industry's new suppressors for 2024, Guns & Ammo's editorial staff and contributors awarded the Silencer Central Banish Speed K its Suppressor of the Year Award. The line of 4-inch 5.56mm suppressors include the Speed K made of 3D-printed Inconel and the Speed K Ti made of 3D-printed titanium. Due to 3D printing technology, Silencer Central engineers were able to optimize the flow of gasses, producing less than 6-percent blowback to the shooter. Presenting the award to Silencer Central President and CEO Brandon Maddox is Eric R. Poole, editor-in-chief of Guns & Ammo, at the 2025 NSSF SHOT Show in Las Vegas.

Silencer Central Banish 9K

Silencer Central revealed the Banish 9K at the 2025 NSSF SHOT Show in Las Vegas. Using 3D-printed technology, Silencer Central engineered maximum efficiency for its compact, 4.1-inch length. Weighing only 2.7 ounces, it is so light and compact that neither a booster or piston is required to use the Banish 9K on a 9mm pistol with a threaded barrel. With a diameter of 1.3 inches, its slim profile is nearly the width of most semiautomatic pistols. Discussing the Banish 9K are Joe Kurtenbach, former executive editor of Guns & Ammo and current senior manager of Media & Relationships for Silencer Central, and Eric R. Poole, editor-in-chief of Guns & Ammo.
