BANISH Suppressors Releases the New BANISH 30-V2

Sioux Falls, South Dakota – Silencer Central, the nation-wide leader in online suppressor sales, simplified submissions, and free NFA Trusts, is proud to carry the latest suppressor from BANISH – the all-new BANISH 30-V2. The 30-V2 takes everything that has made the BANISH 30 the best-selling suppressor on the market and improves upon the design, making it smaller, lighter, quieter, and incorporating an industry-standard HUB mount.

“The Banish 30-V2 builds upon the great performance of the Banish 30 while keeping it modular and serviceable, giving shooters the choice on overall size and sound performance,” said Lukas VanLaecken, Director of Engineering for BANISH Suppressors. “The new design reduces the overall length by 0.8 in. and weight by 1.8 oz. while improving performance for an overall quieter shooting experience. The addition of a HUB mount system offers more options and ease of use with multiple mounting systems and firearm configurations.”

The original BANISH 30 set the standard for what a .30 caliber suppressor should be, and the 30-V2 pushes the bar even higher. The 100% titanium 30-V2 is an adaptable .30 caliber suppressor capable of handling anything from a .17 HMR up to a .300 WBY. Being modular, the full-length configuration is 8.17 inches long with 11 baffles and weighs 12.4 ounces. For a lighter, more compact profile the tube extension can be removed reducing the length down to 6.4 inches, the weight to 9.5 ounces, and retaining eight baffles. The BANISH 30-V2 offers a maximum average decibel reduction of 34.5dB, tested using a .308-caliber rifle. Read more

California Non-Residents Can Apply for Carry Permit Starting April 22

BELLEVUE, Wash. —— Thanks to a preliminary injunction in the Second Amendment Foundation’s (SAF) case CRPA v. LASD, starting Tuesday, April 22, non-resident SAF members can apply for a California carry permit.

The injunction requires that California accept permit applications from any United States resident outside the state who is a member of SAF or its partner organizations and not prohibited from possessing firearms. SAF was joined in the case by the California Rifle & Pistol Association, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation, Gun Owners of California and several private citizens.

“As you might imagine, the state of California is not wanting to make it easy for non-residents to apply for a carry permit,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “As a SAF member and non-resident of California, however, you’re allowed to apply. The main thing to keep in mind is that you need to submit your application through the sheriff or police department for the county you plan to visit. The order specifically lists how to apply, so that’s the best place to find the exact information you need.” Read more
