Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main concerns regarding the removal of the $200 tax stamp for suppressors?

The primary concerns include the potential for the ATF's NFA system to become overwhelmed, leading to significantly longer wait times for suppressor applications. There's also worry that suppressor manufacturers may not be able to meet increased demand, and that this change, while seemingly positive, doesn't address the core issue of Second Amendment rights being infringed.

What specific safety concern has been demonstrated with the Sig Sauer P320?

A demonstrated safety concern involves pulling the P320's trigger approximately 1mm past the initial wall and then jostling the slide. This action can cause the firearm to discharge without further trigger manipulation, particularly on older Gen 1 models. However, this is difficult to replicate on newer firearms.

How has Sig Sauer's response to product issues been criticized?

Sig Sauer has been criticized for their response to alleged product issues, such as the P320's safety concerns and the Romeo Zero red dot's failures. Critics point to a pattern of dismissing problems, labeling concerned individuals as 'anti-gun grifters,' and silently discontinuing products rather than issuing recalls or proactive statements.

What are some of the current promotions for suppressors?

SilencerCo is offering a $200 credit on their website with suppressor purchases. B&T has a deal on the Verse 36 suppressor for $950, including the tax stamp. Q is running a 'buy five get one free' promotion on their steel cans.
