Silencer Central Banish 12 – The 1st Dedicated Hunting Shotgun Silencer

The thought of a shotgun silencer 5 years ago sounded like a joke because the actual sound of them suppressing was quite uninspiring. They have come a long ways in that short period of time, and Silencer Central has an actually inspiring offering with the announcement of their Banish 12 silencer. This is the first dedicated, hunting shotgun silencer to ever hit the market. Not a silencer meant for tactical uses that pretends to be useful for hunting. This silencer was developed and truly built for hunters.
