- Modern Rifleman has a pretty good write up about SilencerCo's troubles leading up to the February 2017 layoffs.
- The Firearm Blog covered the difficulties SilencerCo had releasing the Maxim 50, an integrally-suppressed muzzleloader in September 2017.
- Then there was another layoff shortly thereafter, also covered by The Firearm Blog. This one was briefly covered by their podcast, SiCo Radio, as one of their hosts was hit by it.
- Earlier this month, Firearm Suppressor Giant SilencerCo Announces Shift in Leadership as Joshua Waldron steps down from his CEO position and Jonathon Shults steps down from his role as President.
Not that their podcast is the litmus test for health, but it might indicate something's going on since two weeks ago they were planning out the next 26 podcasts and today they're shutting it down.
Is SilencerCo having troubles? Are enough people waiting for HPA to pass that they're delaying their suppressor purchase and NFA wait? Or are Democrats just good at/for firearms sales? Perhaps there are too many suppressor companies in the US, or not enough demand or SilencerCo has a bad business model or perhaps something else entirely.
