If you peruse the SilencerCo website, look through our catalogs, and speak to our people at trade shows, eventually, you’ll run into specs. As you dive into these specifications, you might move from the length and weight to material and caliber, and eventually, you’ll stumble across a minimum barrel length requirement.
You might wonder, what exactly does that mean? A suppressor is a suppressor. What does barrel length have to do with my suppressor? Well, today, that’s what we plan to explain. The reasons for these recommendations might not be evident to new suppressor owners, and it could be disastrous to try to use a barrel that is shorter than recommended.
