Backwater Guns & Outfitters is Wilmington’s trusted destination for silencers, offering top brands, expert guidance, and seamless assistance with the ATF paperwork required to purchase one legally. Whether you’re looking to reduce recoil, protect your hearing, or improve overall shooting comfort, our team is here to help you choose the right suppressor for your firearm and intended use.
Suppressors offer benefits far beyond noise reduction, they enhance accuracy, reduce muzzle blast, improve follow-up shot control, and make shooting safer and more enjoyable. From rimfire plinkers to high-caliber precision rifles, adding a suppressor transforms how your firearm handles and performs.
Lightweight, affordable, and incredibly quiet, perfect for .22 LR pistols and rifles used in training, plinking, or pest control.
Engineered for durability and performance, these suppressors reduce recoil and improve shot stability on popular platforms like .223/5.56, .308, 6.5 Creedmoor, and more.
Designed for popular handgun calibers such as 9mm and .45 ACP, pistol suppressors create a smoother, quieter shooting experience and pair easily with threaded barrels.
Versatile configurations that fit multiple firearms, ideal for shooters who want maximum value and flexibility from a single suppressor system.
At Backwater, you can see real suppressors in person, compare models side-by-side, speak with trained staff, and feel confident you’re choosing the right tool for your needs. Plus, we handle all the compliance work for you, no guesswork, no complications.
