"This is the first threaded barrel offering that we've released for our production pistols," said Chad Dyer, marketing director at Springfield Armory. "As more states legalize suppressors, we want to offer an affordable solution that caters to the growing demographic of suppressor users."

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 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.
