I own several suppressors that I purchased directly from the manufacturer. A friend reached out to me for advice on obtaining a .22 cal suppressor. I told him I'd heard good things about Silencer Shop, so he purchased through them. From placing his order to taking it home from his FFL took 11 days. He said the entire process was very simple and that he had a great experience. I have been waiting for the CAT ST to be in stock for almost a year. Three weeks ago, it became available. I made my purchase through Silencer Shop. I called and opted for a callback. Less than 10 minutes later, I received the call and asked if they gave a military discount; they do. The program is called Sound Off. David said that he would assist me with anything I needed help with, and he gave me his cell number. Not sure if this is because I am in Sound Off or not. I bought the CAT ST, and it took exactly two weeks from purchase to be ready for pickup. The website and David are epic. I had zero issues. The best part is, once in their system to make additional purchases, all that is needed is to sign the Form 4 because they already have my trust, fingerprints, and photo. I am now waiting on the CAT MOB HUB TI to be approved. As previously stated, the entire process was streamlined and only took a few minutes to complete. David walked me through submitting a Form 1 for $50 through the website; it couldn't have been easier. I'm sure I could have submitted the Form 1 on my own and saved $50. But the ease and simplicity of submitting the paperwork were well worth the small fee. Big thank you to Silencer Shop and David for making my purchases easy. read more

Unfortunately my experience is quite similar to the several listed here, apparently they have outgrown their ability to provide good (or even marginal) customer service. I won't bore you with all the details on the months of no returned calls or emails, electronic forms that wouldn't save data, etc. I figured it would be better to try to fix the problem in person, so I drove from near Galveston to Austin. The sign on the locked door basically said that they don't take walk-in and to go to the Leander show room where they have a kiosk station. At this point I realized that I no longer wanted to ever do business again with the Silencer Shop. It took 15 minutes and multiple attempts for the guy at the show room location to cancel the order (said their computer system wasn't functioning properly). In 40 years of running large company engineering and maintenance activities, dealing with thousands of contract companies (and problems), I've never been this frustrated. My advice would be to go to a local shop that actually cares about your business and avoid the Silencer Shop. read more

Silencer shop is one of the worst companies I've had the displeasure to deal with. Initially, I ordered a supressor that was out of stock by accident and wanted to cancel so I could pick a different one. There's no cancel option on their site (stupid), so I had to call them. They are one of those companies that always has the little warning when you call about "higher than normal call volume" no matter what time of day. I called and waited for a ridiculous amount of time and then was offered to option to get a callback. I opted for that and ended the call....and never got a call. I tried that a few times before I went on their site and left a review about their utter lack of customer service. In a day or two, I got a call from a sales person who was very understanding and offered me a substantial gift card to make up for it. He also helped with the cancelation of the out of stock supressor. I figured that since they went out of their way to make it right I would go ahead and and give them another chance. I bought a supressor and the Form 4 plus an additional Form 1 for an SBR. It took a bit, but when the supressor got to my FFL, a mistake was noted with my name and the FFL would not proceed until it was corrected. I bet you can guess what that meant....that's right, I had to call them. OF COURSE I was not able to get through nor did I ever receive the offered callbacks after multiple attempts. Seriously, why even have that feature if you're never going to call people back? The only way that I actually DID finally get through was to call at the exact moment that they opened. The girl who answered was helpful and put in a request or whatever to the department in charge of fixing things like this. Since they'd also made the same mistake on my Form 1, I asked if that should be withdrawn from eForms and they said yes and that I would receive an email from the ATF confirming the withdrawal (I did not) and to forward it to their care email address. After several days I tried several times to call and ask not only about the Form 1 issue but also to get some sort of confirmation that they'd actually fixed and resubmitted the paperwork for the supressor. By now I am sure that you can guess how that went. A whole lot of sitting on hold and not getting callbacks. Finally, I sent an email to their care address, which BTW is basically like chatting with AI, to cancel the supressor and refund my money because at that point it was getting ridiculous. With ZERO response to me, Silencer Shop reached out to the FFL to cancel the transaction. Not a single effort to reach out to me at all. The FFL saved the day by calling me and promising to take care of me and was very understanding when I told him what had been happening. He told me that he heard stories like that alot and quickly got me fixed up and the paperwork completed. The Form 1 never got corrected. I sent multiple emails with no response. I refuse to call them at this point becaus I know it's just a waste of time. I guess I just donated $50 to Silencer Shop. I absolutely do not recommend doing business with Silencer Shop as their cutomer service is some of the worst I've ever seen. There is simply no reason to do business with such a company when there are so many other options. The convenience of their kiosks simply do not outweigh how poorly they handle customer issues. In fact, my new mission in life it to discourage as many people as I possibly can from doing business with Silencer Shop. They'll definitely tart seeing me everywhere reviews are posted. My hope is thay they will either go out of business or start actually taking care of customers. read more

Applied 7 weeks ago to Silencer Shop for a suppressor I want to purchase here in Arizona. Since the first week in January (it's now March), I have received 19 emails stating (1) the photo sent them in a January does not meet specifications and must be redone; and (2) my registration -- and account -- need to be updated. I have checked my account each time, and their software says I completed 100% of the necessary items that needed to be resolved (though nothing has changed since I first applied to Silencer Shop in October 2024). The company refuses to accept the name of my firearm Trust which was established mid-2025, and eight times now, I have downloaded the entire legal document to their company's website. I have called the company 14 times with receipt of their first email and never gotten through to anyone in Customer Service, or had a single call returned by them. Four days ago, I submitted an eForm to ATF with the same photo Silencer Shop said was inadequate; I submitted the name of the Firearm Trust first sent to ATF for seven other suppressors (1 .22 Cal; 3 9mm, 2 5.56mm; and 1 .50 Cal); my purchase of the suppressor was approved today by ATF and is now in my possession. Four days, success -- but through a different company! This afternoon, a few hours after I picked up my new suppressor, I received another email from Silencer Shop stating that I had to resubmit a new photo (same sent to and approved by ATF 4 days ago); Silencer Shop said that I had to update my account information; they did not recognize the Firearm Trust (which was approved by ATF mid-2025 and sent to them 4 days ago and I have to submit the entire Trust document again), and, with re-submission of these items with the 20th email from them, they'll submit my application to ATF. Same thing they've reported since this process began nearly two months ago. They're doing this deliberately: it is not a software problem. The company is obviously overwhelmed by applicants and rather than being honest that our applications will be processed -- with some delay -- they are playing this game of "resubmit photo", update your account, and resubmit the application. Pure bravo sierra. In other words, they've lied to me and countless others. read more

I had an incredibly easy time filling out the Form 1 paperwork to register my short-barreled rifle. While I was at it, I also ordered a suppressor for it. The whole process was surprisingly simple and inexpensive. read more

The in person experience is second to none. The representatives are attentive, courteous and treat you like family. I really appreciate their ability to customize your purchase to your needs and desires no matter the brand. Their best focus is what's best for the customer.! Visit them I read if calling you'll thank me.! V/R Very happy customer! read more

I've bought six suppressors through Silencer Shop with zero issues. The last was after they initiated their Full Auto option, I needed to fill out NOTHING at my certification visit to my Dealer. Awesome!!! read more

Silencer shop did not make anything easier. I fell for the kiosk BS. on their site i followed step by step instructions. Picked a dealer to transfer and selected it. after purchase silencer shop said i could go to the kiosk so i did at a different location since the one i selected on the site did not have one. Now the silencer is sitting at the shop i selected from the Silencer shop page but it does not share information with the location that the kiosk was at. So now im on my way to the shop with the silencer to do the photos and finger prints all over again. I paid to use the kiosk so im out that money. waste of complete time. I had high hopes in the silencer shop and planed on buying a silencer for my 5.56. They will not get business from me again or hopefully anyone i talk to. just buy local and skip the kiosk all together. read more

Allister provided a great customer service experience. I went in with a few ideas of what I wanted and after talking with Allister we came up with two excellent choices for my first two suppressors. They make the process very simple with their kiosk. One thing that I did before coming to the store was getting onto the ATF site and getting an eForm account set up prior to my arrival. I think this sped things up quite a bit, and I would suggest you do the same if this is your first time. read more

I'm very pleased with the service and the overall experience in the last 2 years, the quick and easy way to certify SBRs is excellent. actually I'm surprised by the 3 star, my opinion is that 5 stars is deserved and no, I don't know anyone there. read more

Polite support staff, but no ownership, escalation path, or case continuity. Since June 6, 2026 I have been unable to complete certification and fingerprint transfer despite multiple contacts, repeated transfers, and disconnections. A dozen emails, screenshots, and responses from ATF. No response AT ALL. This is a systemic failure in escalation and tracking, leaving a regulated transaction stalled with no accountable party or resolution path. read more

They helped me SBR a couple of pistol-braced guns, and it went off without a hitch. I had grown weary of going to bed at night wondering if I was going to wake up a felon due to ATF whims, so I registered them. It took a couple of months for me to get my approvals back, but that was what they told me to expect. The young man that helped me was competent and knowledgable. I'm going back for more suppressors. read more

Keep getting this stupid email. My application is on hold due to my name is not correct. They have never seen Nguyen before. Stupid people. Updated 7 times still got the same email. Some name parts appear in multiple fields. Please verify your name is correct. read more

Worst customer service. Incompetence. Never can get a hold of someone to help with their incompetence. By chance you do get a hold of somebody after days of trying to, they kick the can down the road and blame someone else. It was their system that does not work and still doesn't. IDE give them 0 stars if I could. read more

I have now ordered three suppressors from SilencerShop. For a decade I avoided buying a suppressor as the process just seemed daunting and complicated. With SilencerShop, they handle all the paperwork, forms and interactions with the ATF. I decide which suppressor I want, pay for in on their sight, pay for the tax stamp and SilencerShop does the ready. A day later I get a form to sign and certify them I simply wait for the ATF to approve it and then I go pick it up. I've purchased a dead air mask 22, an obsidian 9 and a ventrum 762. All have been quality suppressors and worth every cent. The ATF has been turning individual form purchases in 48 hours and that just thrills me. SilencerShop is the king of suppressors for a reason. I won't use anyone else. read more

do not get sucked into using their kiosk at the gun store, it has taken 4 months to process something that should have taken 7-10 days. Go to any other store to purchase a silencer, do not use silencer shop. It was their error, no calls, no explanation, just a bunch of bs, even the gun store couldn't get through to them read more

Absolutely love the full auto support and staff at silencer shop, keep up the good work guys. Especially Andrew Hill, thanks for all the help. read more

2 Stars I want to share my experience so others know what they're getting into before ordering from Silencer Shop. I placed an order in February 2026 for a B&T suppressor and accidentally ordered two units. I contacted them immediately to reduce the quantity to one. No response for two weeks. After two weeks of silence, I escalated and tried to cancel the order altogether. Within minutes, I received a phone call, not acknowledging my cancellation request, but acting as though they were just now noticing the duplicate order for the first time. They talked me into keeping one unit and issued a partial refund. Looking back, it's clear they had seen my original request and sat on it, then called the moment I tried to cancel to salvage the sale. The item was listed as "backordered" on their website at the time of purchase, not "out of stock." On their site, that distinction matters: backordered implies the item is expected to arrive soon. I purchased based on that reasonable expectation. Unfortunately, before I ordered, B&T began a legal dispute with the parent company (I totally understand that is out of Silencer Shop's control), which delayed further the delivery, meaning I couldn't receive a serial number, and without a serial number you cannot initiate the ATF paperwork to even begin the approval process. The clock doesn't start until they can deliver a unit. I decided to cancel in March, about two weeks after the qty correction, because I learned of the potential delay. I sent a cancellation email and received an automated response saying someone would "follow up ASAP." No one did. I followed up again two weeks later. Same automated response. Same silence. Phone calls resulted in being placed on hold until the line disconnected. 36 days. Two written cancellation requests. Multiple ignored phone calls. Over $1,000 of my money held with no response. I finally sent a formal final notice on April 9th with a 48-hour deadline, explicitly mentioning a credit card dispute. Suddenly, 15 minutes later, James from Silencer Shop found the time to respond and process my refund request. They had the ability to contact me immediately the whole time. They chose not to until I forced their hand twice. The only reason I gave 2 stars is that their kiosk system at my local FFL actually works pretty well, and made that purchase pretty simple. From this point forward, I will only purchase through a local FFL. read more

The whole process went very smooth and quickly.. thank you!!.. It was my 1st Silencer purchase.

Literally abysmal customer service experience. Scam levels of customer service because there is none. Use Capitol Armory if you can. Genuinely considering chargebacks to my card. I have reached out probably close to a dozen times between calls and emails. I have received one response and ghosted again after that with no resolution. I just need to update some details on two SBR's so they will pass certification. It can't be that hard, but I need a rep to take 5 minutes and do it because I can't change those details. I'm sure if everything goes perfectly and you don't have to reach out to CS, it's a great experience Right now I am out $150 and 2 weeks of attempts to complete this process. Go elsewhere read more

Terrible service. Impossible to get them on the phone or to respond to emails. I've written, emailed, called, I used the call back option and they never called. read more

Very professional and friendly The Service was top notch Selection is always excellent and Value is always there. read more

I ordered an in-stock can from Silencer Shop on February 1st. It is now February 26th. They charged my credit card for the $1200. The status of my is still "under review". Even though they have my Trust my prints, and all my info, and I have purchased from them before. They do not answer their phone or respond to my emails. I tried to cancel my order a week ago. I got an automated response saying they would "review my request" again no response to emails, no response to phone calls. They don't pick up the phone or return calls. They have my money though. With the fast ATF turnaround times I would have had my can long ago if I went to a regular gun shop. Stay away! read more

This is the best place to buy a suppressor. They do all paperwork and submit it for you and have kiosks machines for fingerprints. read more

Nice, convenient way to streamline your buying process if you're into shooting suppressed!!

Makes the whole process simple and easy, a very problem free way to purchase a can. I would highly recommend

Long story short. Had to purchase suppressor upfront, get it sent to licensed dealer for pickup. NFA denied my stamp, and now Silencer shop will not get me my $1000 back. I cannot own the suppressor, therefore I have no product in hand. They have stolen my $1000!!! Have tried contacting them 4 times in 2 weeks with ZERO response!! read more

Easy and fast. The whole process was simply. I would recommend everyone to us Silencer Shop for all purchases.

Very good high-quality products, great customer service, awesome company! I now have a couple of their suppressors and I couldn't be more happy with the products read more

Easiest way to complete all the forms, fingerprints and in one stop shopping. Knowledge base available for questions and comments

Don't return calls don't answer don't return emails. Keeps your money. Only has a recording for a phone.

I ordered a silencer yesterday and was told all my paperwork was in. Today they emailed me and said the ethnicity section on my fingerprint card was missing a response. I looked at it online and it already said, "Not Hispanic or Latino." That is my ethnicity, so why are they asking me to change this? I've tried calling them, emailing them, and using the online contact form. I have not been able to contact them through any of these methods. I guess I just have to hope they will eventually call me back, but their customer service seems very poor at this point. Update: My paperwork was eventually corrected and my local dealer received the silencer. There were no notifications and a lot of confusion, but the ATF's Form 4 process went quickly and I was able to take delivery of the silencer in less than a month. read more

Silencer Shop - This is a valid response. Is this their first time doing this? - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Leander, Texas

I removed my post. I can't recommend them because of their refund policy but they did reduce the 35% restocking down to only 25%.

Very easy to use service. I bought my can through a third party, but they made it absolutely effortless to get through the paperwork. Definitely worth the money to save yourself the brain damage of trying to get through the paperwork yourself. read more

The whole process went smooth. Everything was explained in detail. Silencer Shop takes the guess work out of what needs to be done to acquire the appropriate tools for your firearms. read more

Super easy and fast. Two suppressors in and no issues at all. For both myself and my brother.

Paperwork just sat. My dealer had to call multiple times. When my dealer talked with a representative, the representative gave my dealer a bland generic answer. My dealer had to make him at it. When he looked into it, he saw that there was a real issue! The process has taken almost 9 months and this is far from my first can. read more

Worst experience ever, do not patronize this business! They have forgotten how to add ownership on my application after we discussed this. Phone support? Forget about it. I have to drive and hour to their store to get help. No follow up what so ever. I say again avoid at all cost! read more

I placed an order over a month ago for a suppressor. I have patiently been waiting and then an update came that I needed to add my middle initial on my form. I immediately did so and then continued receiving emails saying my information was incomplete, even though everything else is correct, and the portal confirms this. I emailed and attempted to call two weeks ago and received an automated email saying someone would contact my shortly. After a week, I did not receive a response or any updates. I again emailed and messaged with no responses. I have since been trying to contact anyone from the company but only go to automated messages and no emails back. I would suggest using someone else local that will actually speak to you and update you on your purchase. *I have also already paid for it and because I can't speak to anyone or receive any response, I cannot even cancel it. read more
