Suppressor storage

KJackson · Jan 16, 2020

I have what I hope won't be a stupid question. I just got my first suppressor and I was wondering how other people stored theirs when not in use. DO you just put it on a shelf in your gun safe, keep it in some type of case or even leave it attached to whatever you use it on? Just want to know how I should take care of mine. Thanks.

Mine stays on the gun ready to use for home defense

i just have one, on one of my .22's and it stays on it in the safe.

If you're not using a QD system or 3 lug, I'd leave it on whatever gun you'll be grabbing in the event of a home invasion.

One on the gun for home defense. The rest either on a gun in the safe or on a shelf in the safe.

Mine goes back in the box and into the safe on my shelf. Considering getting a pouch just to save a little space. Safe if getting extra full.

Not that I'd change my ways about it or anything... but if the NFA item is owned personally (and not on a trust that includes family members), isn't having that item out and about where they have control over it when you're not around technically a federal no-no?

The AR I keep for HD is in a wall safe in my room It only gets unlocked when I am home. My wife can grab one of the handguns around if need be.

I keep mine are on a shelf in the safe. I keep each one in small case to keep them from getting scratched up. Many of them came with cases. None of the large subgun cans came with one, but 12" x 2" zippered knife cases work well.

Prior to that.....I kept them randomly thrown on the dash of the van that I lived in down by the river.

In the safe, preferably in a bag or "suppressor holster".

My host gun, FNP 45 Tactical, has a soft case that holds everything that came with the gun including a sleeve for a suppressor. Velcro holds the pouches for magazines and the suppressor when I get one.

I wouldn't want to be a defendant in MD who used deadly force with a suppressed firearm. A prosecutor will have the jury asking where the rope and tree are.

They're going to try to hang you no matter what, why would using a legally owned suppressor to legally defend yourself or your family change things other than the optics, or the portrayal of you in the media?

FWIW...I'm not trying to be argumentative, just curious your thoughts on it.

Because under the tender loving care of a staunchly anti-2A Maryland prosecutor, a jury in this state could easily lean towards a different verdict based on whether or not they perceive you to be a gun nut itching to use your lethal toys. "Optics" (I genuinely dislike that use of this word!) are frequently the difference between opposing outcomes from a jury.

I thought you had them all in spring loaded drawers, ala the punisher doc?

Nonsense.

My choice in HD guns is non-conventional, but I can justify every accessory. 10.5” SBR, Geissele trigger (rapid fire), suppressor. Used by the police and military as a PDW....that says it all. Suppressor because I don’t need to go blind and deaf. Oh, it’s loaded with hand loads.

Well, not all of them!!!

10.5 is generally what is needed to achieve 29oal easily on an ar type platform, correct?
