Shooting sports are about skill, precision, and safety. A tool that’s becoming more popular with firearm owners is the silencer, also called a suppressor. Silencers do more than reduce noise—they make shooting safer and easier.
With Proposition KK bringing a new excise tax on firearm-related purchases in Colorado starting on April 1, 2025, now is the perfect time to buy a silencer before the costs go up. Keep scrolling and see why silencers are a smart investment and why acting now can save you money.
Noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus are two of the most common afflictions for recreational shooters and hunters.
Gunshots can be as loud as 160 decibels, which can cause permanent hearing damage. Silencers lower the noise by about 30 decibels, making shooting safer for you and others nearby. While you still need hearing protection, silencers significantly reduce the risk of long-term damage.
Some competition shooters are putting the question to the test, and getting mixed results.
Silencers reduce recoil and muzzle rise, helping you stay on target. This makes follow-up shots easier and is great for beginners or anyone practicing rapid-fire techniques. With less noise and movement, you can focus more on refining your accuracy.
Silencers make the range or field quieter and more comfortable. Less noise means you’re less likely to scare pets, wildlife, or other shooters. This creates a safer and more enjoyable environment for everyone involved.
HUXWRX patented Flow-Through® Technology virtually eliminates blowback and toxic gas that can affect weapon system performance and shooter health. Engineered to deliver superior sound suppression without adversely affecting the weapon system, it operates and functions as it would unsuppressed.
Silencers are more than just a way to reduce noise. They’re an investment in safety, accuracy, and a better shooting experience. With Proposition KK’s tax coming soon, now is the best time to act. Visit Elk River Guns today to find the right silencer for your needs and save before costs go up!
