I've been meaning to open up a discussion here of how fast the silencer industry seems to be expanding these days. It is fully racing at break-neck speed into the mainstream.
Have you guys been hearing the SilencerShop.com radio commercial in your area? I've been hearing it around here for many months now. Here is a (ridiculous) article about it...

Here's the commercial itself if you haven't heard it before. It does not only play during prime programming. It is playing throughout the day when the little boring local programming is on.

But in addition to mainstream advertising, you all have seen companies popping up every single day with their own line of suppressors. Sig Sauer jumped in this year... who's next? Remington? Ruger? S&W? Springfield?
This industry has been taking off for a while now, but it seems these days it is really gaining some impressive speed! Obviously demand is driving this thing, and the fact that the $200 for a tax stamp is often less than a day's wages makes the demand possible.
The radio ads surprised me when I first began to hear them. The ever growing list of manufacturers and popular gun companies like Sig getting into the mix also widened my eyes. Soon every county in every state in the nation will have a local lawyer or firm promoting NFA trusts.
What else have you guys noticed that has brought you a bit of gleeful surprise?
