Why SilenTrics

Built on Independence. Funded by Members.

No manufacturer sponsorships. Our testing is funded entirely by member subscriptions — which means our data answers to you, not the industry.

Zero manufacturer funding

We accept no money from suppressor manufacturers. Every test is purchased with member subscription revenue — keeping our data fully independent.

Standardized test protocol

Every suppressor is tested on the same caliber-matched hosts, with the same ammunition, at the same meter position — so comparisons are actually valid.

22-category scoring

Sound reduction, tone, durability, weight, mount system, value — scored across 22 categories and weighted for overall, hunting, home defense, recreation, and military & police use cases.

Continuously updated

New suppressors are tested and added regularly. Every membership renewal directly funds the next suppressor on the test queue.

FAQs

Common Questions

How does SilenTrics test suppressors? ▼

We test each suppressor on caliber-matched host firearms using a calibrated sound level meter at a standardized position. Every test uses the same ammunition lot, same host configuration, and same environmental controls — so data is directly comparable across suppressors.

Is SilenTrics affiliated with any suppressor manufacturer? ▼

No. SilenTrics accepts zero manufacturer funding of any kind. We don't perform tests for manufacturers, we perform tests for you, the end-user. The platform is funded entirely by member subscriptions, which keeps every score and review fully independent.

What is included in the free Scout membership? ▼

Free Scout members can browse all suppressor listings, use the ATF wait time tracker, use the size comparison tool, access the frequently asked questions, and enter giveaways. No credit card required.

What does the comparison tool do? ▼

The comparison tool lets you select up to 5 suppressors and view side-by-side radar charts, score breakdowns, and spec tables — all pulled live from our review database. You can save and share any comparison via a unique URL.

What is the Size Compare tool? ▼

Size Compare lets you visually compare the physical dimensions of up to 4 suppressors side by side at true scale — outer diameter and length rendered proportionally so you can see exactly how they compare on your setup.

Can I submit my own suppressor review? ▼

Yes. Members can submit guest reviews for suppressors they own. Submissions go through a moderation queue before being published on the suppressor detail page alongside official SilenTrics reviews.

How do I cancel my membership? ▼

You can cancel anytime directly from your account settings. Your paid access continues through the end of your current billing period with no additional charges.
