The good is reduced recoil, in some cases hearing safe. The bad can be the extra length. For decibel reduction to be really effective, the suppressor needs to be fairly large. For example my favorite suppressors for hunting and precision are the Thunderbeast Ultra series. The 9" for when i want as quiet as possible, the 5" when i want a short lightweight suppressor. Most used and good compromise is the Ultra 7.
The ugly would be the wait time. paper forms are taking 14 months. Most dealers are doing efile now. The atf was saying 90 day approvals for efile, and it started off awesome. As a dealer I submitted 220 applications on efile. Had a around a 100 approvals under 90 days. Most had been 70 day and a few luckly guys at 20 days. The last couple of months has come grounding to a halt on efile, and the new average seems to be 210-260 days. Still a lot better than 14 months.
I'm not familiar with the banish suppressors. As a dealer that has sold over a thousand suppressors in the last couple of years, i would say stick with a major name brand that has support. I have heard of banish, but its strange to me that none of the major suppliers would carry the banish line.
Prepare for a trip down the rabbit hole. Suppressors are like potatoe chips or beer, cant
Thanks for the info. I guess the Banish is sold through Silencer Central. It’s modular and goes from 9-7 inches. I shot it at 9 inches, which is obviously the quietest. It’s also made so the user can take it apart and clean the baffles without the need to send it in. It’s made of titanium and seemed pretty lightweight to me. The biggest drawback is how long it makes the rifle for a hunting application. I’m shooting a 300WM with a 24 inch barrel. If I go this route I may have the barrel cut and rethreaded at 20 inches.The good is reduced recoil, in some cases hearing safe. The bad can be the extra length.

I'm guessing you're not allowed to play with scissors either, right?I’ve been thinking of getting one but no way in hell am I going to run with it.
Well I'm thinking pretty hard about ordering a couple. The Banish30 is at the top of my list. The hardest part to me is the ridiculous wait time!I do, I do....and love them for all the obvious reasons. Just killed a coyote at ____ yards two days ago. Too far for the MM crowd to handle. Haha
It's the only way to fly IMHO.
Gadjet, unless you're in your 20's, you cannot "run" one. You must "shoot" with one. LOL
If you're in your 20's, it's understandable and almost forgivable....with a pat on the head.

You made me laugh!!!Well I'm thinking pretty hard about ordering a couple. The Banish30 is at the top of my list. The hardest part to me is the ridiculous wait time!
I only wish I was still in my 20's! But just to go against the grain, I'm going to try to run with it! I'll probably pull a muscle!
Kinda catchy isn’t it!You made me laugh!!!
Good on ya man. The wait sucks but it's soooooo worth it.
So many great suppressors out there and I only get to use a couple different ones and trade them around on rifles.
Bite the bullet, make the wait, enjoy it (them) a ton once you get to run one on a rifle!!! There, I said it although I threw up in my old throat. LOL

Sure you can, don't let fear control your life.I can't even have one.....
Buy a solvent trap.....see if you get a visit....If you really want to "run" one, there's nothing like rolling your own.
Which one do you have?I have been using a Banish for about 3 years on my .300.
Im happy with it.
Banish 30.Which one do you have?
I ordered a banish 30 in February so hopefully I get my can soon but not holding my breath. The sales guy told me I'd get it in 6 months or less but that didn't happen.I ordered a Banish 30 in May, to use on a 300 WM and 7mm Rem Mag. Just passed the 150 day mark but don't have it yet. Silencer Central has been very helpful. Ask them a question, they get you an answer. Supposedly they are shipping suppressors ordered in the February timeframe as of now.
My barrel OD was ~.660 for both the 7mm and 300WM. Went with the 9/16" threading instead of the 5/8" they originally spec'd. I probably way overanalyzed it, but the 9/16 was a compromise between remaining barrel wall thickness and barrel shoulder to absorb the recoil.
To answer your question, I will likely hunt with it in eastern whitetail country where sitting in a stand is most likely. However, for a western hunt with lots of walking, probably not. I mainly want it for practicing.
I reckon it may have to do with the weight of your rifle? Magnums just aren’t that fun when they weigh 7/8 lbs, the sniper systems that my guys were running back in the day I think it was 13 or 15 lb rifle with suppressor in 300 win mag, that thing was fun to shootI've shot 6mm, 7mm and 300 win suppressed. The pro is reduced "felt" recoil and reduced noise. The con is that when you pull the trigger it feels like you have your arms wrapped around a kangaroo as he begins to hop. I couldn't stay on target with the 7mm mag let alone anything bigger. But maybe you can learn to shoot one? I have a Trash Panda on the way from Q for the 300 Win mag. Well see how I like it.
