r/SilencerShop

I ordered my Anthem S2 suppressor, which was in stock at the time of purchase, on 9/15. My FFL "warned" me that it would likely take 30-60 days because of how backlogged SS was lmfao.

Form 3 was approved on 9/16

Was sitting at “Dealer Transfer - We have received the necessary Form 3 approval from the ATF to ship your item to your selected dealer" for about 2 weeks, till I seen that it was shipped out and about 2-3 days later, the suppressor was delivered to my FFL on 10/1.

FFL submitted my form 4 on 10/2 and got ATF approval today 10/5.

Went into my FFL and did the regular bg check and walked out about 15 minutes later. So this entire process took just about 3 weeks (20 days) from purchase to pickup. I'd say I'm one of the lucky ones considering some of the other wait times I've been seeing.

The communication after the Form 3 approval was pretty much non existent. I was waiting with pretty much nothing, and Hiram was obviously no help.

Just wanted to post my experience and timeframe for others because I know everybody is all wondering the same things.

Purchased from SilencerShop (Black Cerakote version) using the SoundOff program. Received at my LGS yesterday, and shot today at my indoor range.

For context, I have 2 cans: an Obsidian 45 (good all-a-rounder for my pistols) and a Hex300 for my MCX 9” (which is absurdly quiet with subs. Particular favorite is SIGs 194gr subsonic, when you can find them)

This was an impulse buy. I wanted a B&T Tiger Ti but saw this was in stock, there weren’t a lot of reviews to be found and took a chance on it

Shot it today. Satisfyingly quiet on my 322 and my 522 rifle with CCI SV, CCI Clean Suppressed, Federal Gold Medal and NormaUSA Tac-22 (which is now a new favorite and I will buy every box I can find.) Previously, I have used a SIG SRD22 which was Good, and a DA Mask, which was Excellent (both on a friends Ruger.) Obviously not a side by side comparison, but subjectively the Miami is at least as good as the Mask.

I did watch Farro’s Lead Farm video on YT, and there was a noticeable metallic TING sound. He even mentioned it at the end of the vid. I did NOT hear that TING on mine. There are two differences: he used a SW 22X, and my can is Cerakoted. I was specifically listening for it.

All in all, VERY happy with the Miami. I’ll probably still get a Tiger Ti at some point, but if I could only have one, the Miami is definitely a great choice.

What is the average wait time for a call to support right now currently at 2 hours
