I ordered a Griffin Revolution 9 on Jan 28 (order 272707). "Backorder" at the time.

Has anyone received feedback on their orders? Exactly why the long wait? Or any idea when they expect them in at SS?

I got this feedback before I decided to put in the order with Silencer Shop:
> Backorder means you pay up front for the suppressor, as soon as we get them in
stock we will process your paperwork to the ATF. Waitlist is first come first serve
on who gets what, the back order means you get one before we put them in stock
on the website. We hopefully will see them within 30-60 days.

Order date was Jan 12. When did you fill out the form 4? At LGS? That is 7 weeks to get the stamp and take possession? I thought the average was 5 to 7 months for Form 4 approval.

Silencer shop is good people. You are in good hands. Give them a call and they will help you.

I wrote to them. They didn't offer any explanations or give me a better ETA. Their original email of "30-60 days" secured the sale. It's been 72 days.

They did tell me I can cancel the order and get the entire amount as a credit to my visa.

Very disappointing to be misled and have expectations set for 60 days at most.

You need to cancel, get your refund, and go shop at another place since you're not happy with them.

Yep, I've sent an email off to SS to cancel.

A not-so-local LGS offered an in-stock Octane 45K, Octane 45 or a Ti-Rant 9 for $725, including piston. Very surprised. Forty minutes away. I knew they carried suppressors but they were always at full MSRP. They never were flexible with NIB guns before, used guns - no problem. I got to ask "is that your best price" more often!

So, SS was $709+205 stamp backorder at 73 days with no in-stock date versus LGS of $725+200 stamp for in-stock. No brainer $11.

Truth be told, I was purely lucky in timing. Lucky I was talking to LGS owner and not one of his regular salesman. And perhaps lucky that he just wanted to move them. I went with the SS Griffin Revolution 9 originally cause it showed up in-stock and offered a short configuration, then it became a "backorder" before I ordered it but thought it was still the quickest route to a can before the 41P complicated gun trusts.

I am pretty sure I will go with the Octane 45 for more calibers and stainless buffers. A little longer. I do think the Ti-Rant is the quietest though. The lightest for sure. They open at noon.

Yep, I've sent an email off to SS to cancel.

Yep, SS processed my visa credit first thing Monday morning. Yeah!

Day wasted waiting for it to be stocked: 74.

I put 20% down on the Octane 45 at Vandalia Range and Armory. Tax stamp submitted.
I was surprised - I have visitation rights!
