In a move that’s got the firearms world buzzing ahead of SHOT Show 2026, Turkish powerhouse Canik and American innovator US Palm are storming into the suppressor market with their own in-house lines—Canik’s sleek Void series and US Palm’s dramatically named Eye of the Storm (EOS). This isn’t just another booth filler; it’s a seismic shift from two brands long synonymous with affordable, high-performance pistols and AK accessories. Canik, already dominating the value-segment handgun space with sub-$500 beaters like the TP9SFx that outshoot pricier competitors, is leveraging its manufacturing muscle—honed in Turkey’s booming arms industry—to undercut big players like SilencerCo or Dead Air. Meanwhile, US Palm, the Florida-based upstart famous for ergonomic grips and innovative rails, brings its made in USA ethos to a category starved for fresh designs that prioritize modularity and storm-ready durability.
The real intrigue lies in the implications for the 2A community: suppressors, long demonized as silencers by anti-gunners despite reducing noise by 20-35dB without making guns Hollywood-quiet, are finally shedding NFA stigma thanks to the Hearing Protection Act’s lingering momentum and grassroots pushes like SABY (Suppressors Are Basically Yoga). Canik’s Void entry could flood the market with budget cans under $400, pairing perfectly with their modular pistols for everyday carriers who want hearing-safe training without breaking the bank—think range rats finally ditching ear pro fatigue. US Palm’s EOS, with its storm-themed ruggedness, screams tactical appeal for SHTF preppers and competition shooters, potentially integrating seamlessly with their AK furniture for a one-stop quiet storm build. This dual launch signals a healthy market bifurcation: overseas efficiency driving prices down while domestic innovation keeps quality sky-high, forcing incumbents to innovate or get left in the unsuppressed dust.
For gun owners, this means more choices in a post-ATG ruling landscape where Form 1 e-filing has exploded—over 1.2 million suppressors registered last year alone, per ATF data. It’s a win for hearing health, recoil management, and neighborly range etiquette, underscoring why the 2A fight is about practical tools, not movie myths. Head to SHOT 2026 with cash ready; these aren’t just cans—they’re the next wave in accessible, pro-2A quiet revolution.
