Where to buy a suppressor?

[CP]

The process looks daunting.  Where's the easiest place to get a suppressor where they will walk you through the paperwork & process without price gouging?

Do you already have a particular one picked out that you want or is that up in the air for you as well??

If you're still undecided as to which one you want I've always been partial to TBAC (Thunder Beast Arms Corp.) suppressors.  There's quite a few that are very good but IMO TBAC is one of the very best AND they have a "Group Buy" deal going on for another ten days that will get you a 10% discount on any TBAC suppressor you purchase.  Here's a link to that information and you can probably locate a dealer from there site as well. https://thunderbeastarms.com/

If you're looking for a pistol suppressor you'll have to look elsewhere for one of those as TBAC on does rifle suppressors unless it's a rimfire suppressor you're wanting to get and their new rimfire can is top notch and will work rifle or pistol 22's.

I will add, if it's possible to strike a deal with someone local I highly recommend going that route first.  Purchasing a suppressor out of state is no big deal but it'll add 2-3 months, because of the transfer form 3, on top of the 8 month wait time for the form 4 AND you'll still have to find a local class III dealer to do the transfer for you and they typically charge $75-$100 just for that.

I'm leaning toward the Gemtech Tracker - appears to be lightweight and well reviewed.  I don't need full auto rated.  But I don't much about them. 

Just add it to the cart @ silencershop.com, pick a dealer, pay for it, then what?

My dealer has a silencer shop "kiosk" in his store. Does your fingerprints, scans passports, silencer order, etc.  Call silencer shop and they will help you through the process. Great communication

You need to decide if you want to use a "Trust" to purchase the suppressor or file as an individual.  The benefits of forming a trust are still there, it's just they are quite as substantial as they once were and either way will require finger print cards and pass port photos included with the filing of your Form 4.  Also, and I don't exactly recall the specifics on this but something has to be sent off to your local law enforcement authorities, too.  You don't need anything back from them but some type of letter or form has to be sent of to them.

Since this is your first suppressor purchase and there is the new BS with the finger print cards and passport photos, I'd highly recommend using a local dealer for the first one.  It's a relatively long wait and if any little thing is missed or incorrect on your paperwork, ATF will send it back and it'll only extend the already painful wait time.

Regulations may get lifted in 2017 or that is the push I am seeing.  We can only hope they become an over the counter purchase.

Maybe I should wait and make my own

Silencer Shop and use their Direct program.  Maybe I got lucky, but purchases through Silencer Shop also seem to be approved faster then those done through a local dealer.

You can build one right now.  Instead of filling out the Form 4, you fill out Form 1.  Still the same $200 tax stamp fee though.

Silencer Shop, use the direct progran like aaronoto said.  Put it on a trust so when you go to the happy hunting grounds, the atf doesn't come and take it from your survivors without any type of reparation.
