Hello Everyone,
While I was at the SHOT Show I spoke with the respresentatives of Gemtech (Gemini Technologies) about their suppressors and their uses. I also handled several of their models and thumbed through their catalog. I left immensely impressed. They were by far the most friendly, professional, and best informed booth I visited at the show. The suppressors also appeared to be of the highest quality.
Long story short...I want one for my AR-15 carbine and an integral design for a Ruger 10/22 in .22 LR. I own a large tract of land and would like it for dispatching rabid animals and perhaps use for home defense for tactical reasons (e.g., muzzle flash and blast). I'd like to be able to fire the suppressor equipped AR-15 without hearing protection in an enclosed space (e.g., a home).
After a little more research I discovered that there are several other players in this niche market. Names like AWC, AAC, Knight Manufacturing, etc. Most of these companies charge noticeably more than Gemtech. As I am rather new to suppressor technology I am looking for experienced opinions.
Who makes the best suppressors on the market today?
If it isn't Gemtech, what makes their suppressors inferior to the more expensive ones on the market?
Any special pointers I should watch out for while shopping for one.
Any experienced opinions are welcome.
Thank you for your assistance.
