Alpha Dog Silencers

Published by
Recoil Staff

Here's something you don't see every day. These are suppressors from a company called Alpha Dog, based in Southbury Connecticut. They build cans with integrated suppressor sights and rails by which to add accessories such as lights, lasers, RMRs and the like.

We can't give you a hyperlink to go purchase one at the moment because their store currently appears to offer only t-shirts (though this may just be because they don't retail direct). However, if you scroll down a bit on their home page there's a pretty nice interactive graphic explaining the technology and build. This includes a Teflon coated, bead-blasted 6061-T6 Aluminum end cap, 7075-T6 Teflon-coated V-shaped monocore baffle, an indexing washer that allows movement of the accessory rail to 12 possible positions along the axis of the barrel, CNC machined 17-4ph Stainless piston and other features.

You can follow Alpha Dog Arms on Instagram here (@alpha_dog_arms). You can find them on Facebook here. You might also take a look at their support of the Connecticut 2nd Amendment Suppression Relief Initiative right here.

We're aware there will be a hue and a cry and much mockery, and who knows, maybe it's deserved. Once again we'll fall back on the mantra of Capitalism, bitches and let the market decide. Hell maybe we'll even get the chance to get one out on the range. That will allow us to see whether it's a stroke of genius or another execrable epiphany from the Good Idea Fairy.

Edit: we posted a review of this a few months later. You can find it here.
