In 2025, suppressor wait times are significantly reduced, especially for individual eForm 4 submissions, with some approvals taking less than 24 hours. While trust filings are also improving, they still take longer than individual applications. The video outlines three primary methods for legally acquiring a suppressor: purchasing from a local gun store, an online-to-FFL transfer, and a direct-to-door shipping program facilitated by companies like Capitol Armory.
William Kirk of Washington Gun Law explains recent significant improvements in ATF Form 4 processing times for suppressors. Historically long wait times are being reduced, with some individuals now experiencing approvals in as little as 48 hours due to immediate NICS background check integration. This expedited process currently favors individual filers over trusts or corporations.
