Henry Graham - that would be 'the' guy when it was SWR
Henry Graham - SWR - Rugged
Mike Pappas - SWR - DeadAir
Gary Hughes - SWR - Former National Sales Mgr SilencerCO

On it like a hobo on a ham sandwich - and you were not kidding - 2015 is going to be a GREAT year for suppressors!

Huntertown arms says they are going to come out with a guardian 45 sometime. I am tempted to wait and see what it's like before dropping the money on an octane like I want. So far the octane is the only can I have in writing from the manufacture that it's ok to shoot.338 spectre subsonic threw. I was going to buy aliberty mystic for such but when theX came out the price went up way to much. Should have grabbed a regular mystic from silencer shop when they had them so cheap. I like the idea of the mystic for 300 blk and 338 spectre super and subsonic because it is so light weight but not sure I like it$740 worth which is why I want to settle for a45 can that can at least handle them in subsonic

Is Pappas going to have a hand in 2 suppressor companies now?

I don't think its that as much as a VERY strategic move that I feel Jason Schauble is behind - to make for a very competitive market.
This is just how I am reading the tea leaves

:huhqi4: You think Schauble pushed them out to create a more competitive market?

No - I think (looking at it from a long game) we are just at if not at the peak of suppressor technology and design or BIG industry is running out of ideas (AAC, really - a re-hash of the Maxim design - off-concentric so you don't have to run suppressor height sights? really?)) (I can tell you if you look back at Silencer Talk and look at what Kevin B said what you should and should not have in a suppressor say 4/5years ago from his posts) he has gone back on about 1/2 of what he said - now with Sig shorter suppressors designed to be run wet - the longer Ks - he would have laughed at you again 3/5 years ago and while he was w/AAC and you ran Form1 designs by him with ides like that - cast baffles mgiy7:

Did Schauble push those guys out no - I would venture - stoke the fire for them to strike out on their own (or like Mike and Henry to keep creaive design fresh - 100% in their control - ant shoved or kicked around by some mindless board of directors and share-holders) to design and produce suppressors the way Mike and Henry want to (again once no compete agreements were up) start out small - build a following/base - land the ever so lucrative DOD/Govt/Leo contracts to be pulled in or bought out (and better prepared for such a thing if and when they decide to and not hung out to dry/fired like Kevin was) - again this is all just my wild guess - but looks like the AAC / Remington play ripped from the play book to me.

SO either Jason Schauble is really smart (he will be a silent hand to steer things) -or- he makes a mess of it and moves on. Bottom line - the big money is in the IDIQ contracts - move some things around now / build competition / see what shakes out and spur SilencerCo design into overdrive to keep up w/what OSS/Griffin/SF/Dead Air/Rugged are pushing out - and NOT do what Sig is doing by seeing how far they can push ATF (Sig MPX C)

The other big OR question - SilencerCo has something awesome that they will drop on us at SHOT

No doubt that competition breeds innovation but no business wants to loose market share. Speaking personally for this post not as Silencer Shop. I don't think that 5 years ago anyone could have predicted the future of the silencer industry. Mike and Henry have a strong following outside of SilencerCo and will be competition for SilencerCo that will draw away market share. I'm sure that are not happy about that.

Yea its crazy - But I do really want to see how it shakes out this year for ALL these folks - but I will say it again - AAC needs to step up their game
