US Edition2026 SHOT Show Day 2: Solving Common Lights, Optics and Gear Problems
SHOT Show 2026 showcased new lightweight hunting rifles and highlighted a surge in suppressor use, with nearly half the firearms equipped with silencers amid anticipated tax changes.
- At SHOT Show 2026, Industry Day at the Range near Boulder City, Nevada showcased new hunting rifles while a range officer reported all but one or two rifles had suppressors, with almost half estimated fitted.
- With the $200 tax eliminated, demand for silencers/suppressors is expected to rise, increasing competition and prompting some to forecast regulatory changes to the National Firearms Act.
- Wraith Metalworks demonstrated a suppressor kit for calibers from.458 Winchester Magnum downward with 3D-printed inconel or titanium baffles, while HUXWRX Safety Co., Ambient Arms, and Carbon Research showed lighter, cooler-running suppressors; the top-of-the-line kit price was about 1700 dollars on one tax stamp.
- Observers expect demand for suppressors to increase immediately, manufacturers ramp production, and the Henry Booth showcased multiple suppressor-mounted models, reflecting swift adoption.
- Industry observers predict the overall number of legal silencers in the United States will rise exponentially, and some commentators forecast silencers could be removed from the National Firearms Act, spurring production of inexpensive silencers.
