Exigent Defense, a manufacturer of additive 3D printed direct metal laser sintering suppressors, is introducing new models to the market. They focus on producing durable, high-performance suppressors using materials like Inconel 718 and Titanium Grade 5. Their mission is to offer 'overbuilt underbudget' suppressors, initially selling directly to law enforcement to refine their products before consumer release.

This video introduces Exigent Defense's line of additive 3D printed suppressors, highlighting their 'overbuilt underbudget' philosophy. The LE 5.56 is presented as a simple, direct-thread, 'stupid-proof' option for 5.56 rifles, emphasizing ease of use and cost-effectiveness. Other models like the Vanish 5.56, Point Man 9, and Overwatch 762 are discussed for their specific materials, performance characteristics, and intended applications, with a focus on durability and sound suppression.

This video features Jason St. John of SIG SAUER discussing the company's new SLX and SLH suppressor line. He details the technological advancements, particularly the optimization to reduce gas blowback, a common issue with suppressors. The revolutionary design is attributed to the adoption of Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) manufacturing techniques, positioning the SLX and SLH as highly innovative on the market.

This video showcases the Daniel Defense V7P AR pistol and the DD Wave suppressor at SHOT Show 2018. The V7P features a 10.3-inch barrel, 9-inch MFR Excess rail, and comes standard with an SP Tactical SOB brace, allowing for NFA item customization. The DD Wave suppressor is highlighted for its unique Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) manufacturing process, resulting in a strong, one-piece suppressor without welds, featuring Acme threads for easy on/off and resistance to carbon lock-up. It is compatible with calibers from 5.56mm up to .300 Win Mag.
