Culture
Though we come from all over, every member of the SilencerCo team shares a commitment to creating the strongest brand in the firearms industry. We are passionate about our brand, our jobs, and our craft. We are hunters, shooters, scientists, nomads, engineers, and explorers that create what others can't even dream of.
We lead the firearms suppressor industry and work hard to find highly motivated, performance-driven, innovative employees. We work hard to build an inclusive environment in which everyone, regardless of gender, race, religion, age, or background, can perform at their best.
Why we do what we do
We love suppressors. We believe in saving hearing, reducing recoil, and maintaining situational awareness while shooting and hunting to create a more enjoyable experience. We ultimately question why shooting has to be loud. We never build a "me too" product. We never settle for "good enough," we strive to disrupt. We do what we do because we want better products, because we believe in the 2nd Amendment, and because we are users - we shoot and hunt and want the best experience possible. SilencerCo enjoys the challenge of bringing products to market in a meaningful way that captures immediate market share.
