I live very rural and the nearest FFL that sells or accepts silencers is fairly far away, so I decided to use Silencer Central. I ordered 3 cans on 12/12/2023 using a Trust. My approvals came in on 04/29/2024 and they were delivered to my door on 05/23/2024. I was pleased with the ease of the entire process through SC, and I didn’t encounter any hiccups along the way. I already had a set of digital prints from when I did some SBRs, so that made things go faster with SC. I intend to order some more cans this summer, so I hope the AFT gets things moving faster for cans submitted through trusts. I know a 4-month wait time is a drop in the bucket compared to what it used to be, but seeing things going much faster for individual applications makes waiting months using a trust all the more frustrating.

OK, I went through silencer central to get my suppressor. Called them at the beginning of May to order a suppressor. They were very helpful and walked through the paper work. Once I got everything done and they submitted the paperwork to ATF, it was approved the next day. I paid for the suppressor all ready and I still have NOT received my suppressor. It is taking LONGER for me to get my suppressor from silencer central, then it did getting approved by ATF!

Got 2 cans from SC had hiccups but overall they gave me free tax stamp and ASR hub and break. Love these guys for their integrity.

You guys e-formed my Banish 45 on April 18, and my Banish 22 on April 24. Have not heard anything from the ATF. Was told my two will take five months plus since I had to do a trust on both of them. Very frustrating when people are getting ATF approval in two days.

As someone currently waiting, here are details! Submitted eForm Form 4 individual w/ EFT prints on 05/15 in NE OH. The FFL submitted for me electronically, no SS kiosk. At 16 days total, I got no response from NCIS Liason or eForm Admin via email. Contacted my state representative, and got a privacy release form and submitted it in response to their office today. I have a CCW and work for my local county. My peers whom submitted individual after me are still getting approvals in 24HRS-1 week. If I can pass background any other time, I should be able to take my suppressor home given I already paid for the tax stamp and can, period.

This guy bends over for the ATF

Buyer Beware, they wait until ready to ship to fill orders. They can and probably will send an email saying part of you order is on back order. How is that possible after waiting a year and paying a year ago in full for them to drop the ball. Yes, I got the email and customer service said this is an ongoing issue with demand? WTF a year ago I paid in full not my fault but now my problem. Hope management and this guy knows how jacked his company is. Sales guy collected $2500 for 2 cans and adapters. Tail end of my dealing with them is disgusting. Just letting everyone know about this issue. I see I'm not the only one on reviews.

Moved from IL to IA on a Saturday 3 weeks ago. Applied for my DL on the following Monday. Got my temporary license and went to Scheel's. Inquired about silencers. Asked me if I had my DL. I told him I have the temp one because I just moved to this state. They said no problem. Did all the paperwork, fingerprinting, etc. Took about about an hour. Was approved in 2 business days and picked up my silencer/suppressor Friday. Pew Pew Saturday.

ATF told me yesterday electronic form 4 that was submitted last year is 10-14 months

If there was a 99.9% chance of getting an approval, I'd be that fk'n 0.1% that won't get it!!!

I can't speak about the other suppressor companies that can help you get a suppressor but I can tell you that Silencer Central owes me a thread adapter or a refund. Empty promises and poor customer service and no thread adapter. Packing list said it was in the box. CSR (good luck getting one on the phone) said they are on back order and will ship out any day. No adapter for six weeks now. Don't get ripped off by Silencer Central!

It took Silencer Central over 4 weeks to ship out my Banish 45 after completing all approvals and LE notifications. Just for it to show up without the 1/2x28 piston it’s supposed to come with. Called customer support to check and they said pistons are back ordered and it’s gonna be another 2 months before they send them out. How about letting your customers know you’re sending them unusable products?? Mind you that I’ve talked to customer support at least 3 times while waiting for them to ship the can, and not a single mention about the most important part of the order is gonna be missing! Save yourself the headache and take your business elsewhere. These people are incompetent at best

submitted 5/2, approved on 5/29 using a gun trust

Can’t complain and will buy again from SC. Filed forms, fingerprints and pic at the NRA show with them on a Sunday, ATF approved on Monday, local Leo on Thursday. Mandatory 7-day wait and called them on day 8. One of the 3 pistons is on back order and they wanted to wait until in stock (approx 2 months). I asked to have the can shipped out ASAP and send the remaining piston when available. SC send it right next day. Can in hand with 2 pistons 2 weeks after placing order. Since they have my profile, I’m gonna place another order soon. Love it! Way better than my can experience 7 years ago with paper process from different dealer…

I just got approved in 2 days had the suppressor in under 30 days from purchase date from these guys!

I ordered 2 cans last May, and they told me 8-10 month wait for ATF. I had them both sooner than they said I would. Still need to obtain a Banish 45, so that may be in the works if it is going to show up much quicker.

Waiting since July 2023

Filled out everything for atf and sc says it submitted. Eform site has no documents pending..

Been totally approved waited 5 months now Silencer Central is taking their sweet time awaiting shipment. Been over a week waiting for them to start the “shipping” process. What is their problem?? Very frustrating.

I just got off the phone with the ATF 5 minutes ago, my form 4 has been with them for a month. They informed me that the average wait time is now 61 days. So your ATF friend is incorrect.

8 months to get my Back Country approved. Was hoping my Banish 22 got approved with it but it didn’t.

I had to complain to my attorney general to get my can approved sooner

So can I purchase one under a “individual” and then transfer it to a trust that I already have? Just think you get it a lot quicker filling as individual.

Same april no info, when i used silencer shop it only took two days? Def wont do silencer central again

Jan 2024 has my stuff filed with Feds and cans in my home mid May 2024 with a family trust. My only compliant is the heat bag and wrap for my 30 gold is on backorder so I am missing those items. I also have a problem with my 1/2x28 brake not screwing into my 30 gold..It wants to crossthread. SC said they will help me with this but it's several weeks later. The 30 gold with 300BLK but have not been able to shoot 556 yet :(

This video is BS from what ATF told me yesterday. The ATF does whatever they want its a jacked up system just to get something thats not even a firearm. I didn’t get offered to do individual either like said. This will be my last time doing this BS process.

I can tell you trusts aren't 2-3 weeks, and to date it's not as fast as double that

ATF needs to learn how to do them as they come in by date. I have one that was submitted Nov. 15th and nothing. Also Brandon if you already have NFA items when you buy another it should throw a flag and you get automatic approval this shit is ridiculous having to wait and see people get approved in days while you been waiting months. You need to stay in their asses. ATF is a joke. Individuals or trust shouldn’t matter I have a trust but nobody is on it so what the hell is the difference. Individual wasn’t even offered to me on my recent purchase and submittal so thats BS. Common name is BS Im the only one in the entire US with my name plus I go through all kinds of background checks every year for my work and still nothing. The ATF process is a damn joke period.

Month deep with them now and you guys have me worried now.

I got 2 approved in June the first one took 5 days my 2nd took 13 days

Exactly 4 months for approval. Now waiting for LE waiting period and delivery

"ITS A GREAT QUESTION "

LE notification confirmed 5 weeks ago. Still hasn't shipped. No communication with me at all. This was my 2nd and last order with them.

Hopefully get mine soon. Ordered December 2023.

I took the plunge. Was told it could be 6 days to two weeks. Its been 6 weeks with no light at end of tunnel. My concealed carry permit was renewed the week before I bought the can. Federal and State background check so I'm clean. Why the delay on my ok when I'm obviously clean. Frustrating to say the least. They already have my 200. bucks.

Submitted 3/4/24. Still waiting....

11 months still waiting

will there be a speed k that supports .30

Submitted 4/24, the wait is ridiculous.

Why the F won’t you let us switch to an individual?!!! I so regret using SC.

I ordered a suppressor it's been 2 months now. This was when they were supposedly approving them in 2 weeks. Still waiting... Fuck the ATF.

They really aren't all that. Got my Banish 45 after a 10 month wait. Won't be buying anymore.

If you talk to ATF as much as you claim then get together and come up with a faster way to do this crap.

4 months to the day, Google will sent their email to your spam box!!!

I think he’s false advertising. Business has slowed down

These comments are roooouuugh. Guess I should be looking elsewhere for a can.

Bullshit!

​@geomarzolf8608 from the date of ordering on 4-3-2024 to 7-11-2024 when I received them, it was a total of 98 days with a trust. Not counting the Banish 22 since it arrived with the Banish 45. But they were not going to ship as they do not have any fixed barrel spacers, WTF? Whole reason I bought the Banish 45 was to use it with a CMMG Banshee and Stribog SP9A1, both fixed barrels. I told them to just give me my suppressors, and get me my spacer later. There is no eta on the fixed barrel spacer. Anyone know if you can use another companies fixed barrel spacer on the Banish 45? I want to use it now!

Thank you President Biden!! Trump took away my bump stock… Biden shortens wait times by more than 900%!? I can’t wait for the commercials

I wasn’t approved after 14 months and after that the reallll hard to get in touch with lol I been waiting 3 months for a refund
