SilencerCo’s New S98 Handgun-Only Suppressor

Emptying mags at the range with your favorite suppressor-ready 9mm will soon be much more enjoyable for you and your fellow handgunners. Introducing SilencerCo’s SHOT Show 2025 release of the new titanium-constructed S98, 9mm (handgun only) silencer. Pardon the pun, but the S98 is truly out of sight—its unique design ensures that your iron and reflex sights remain completely unobstructed.

Constructed from 17-4 stainless steel and Grade 5 titanium, SilencerCo’s polygonal-shaped S98 has an overall length of 5.54 inches (1.25 inches wide/1.625 inches tall), weighs only 7 ounces and boasts a 9mm dB reading of 130.3. The S98 includes an easy-indexing button to ensure consistent orientation on any host pistol. Direct thread and QD mounting options will be available. The S98 caters not only to shooting enthusiasts but also serves well for home defense and law enforcement functions. The S98 will be available in Q3 2025. MSRP: $1,269. (silencerco.com)

Black Hills Ammunition’s Subsonic HoneyBadger 125-grain 9mm loads are crafted to make your suppressed firearm operate more quietly and efficiently. The 125-grain bullets produce a muzzle velocity of 1,050 feet per second (fps) and a muzzle energy of 306 foot-pounds (ft-lbs). Ideal for self-defense, the HoneyBadger’s bullet grooves are designed to engage soft tissue, pressurize it, and then jet it outward in three lateral directions. Its lead-free design also promotes much cleaner operation while eliminating fragmentation after impact. It is sold in 20-round boxes. MSRP: $39.89. (black-hills.com)
