#BaffleStrike

Cesar B. posted this photo of a range rental Maxim 9. He is not sure how this happened but there was a baffle strike on the end cap of the Maxim 9. Even if the screws were loose could the end cap shift enough to get in the path of a bullet? Well somehow this one did. A simple call to Silencer Co and this issue has been addressed and fixed.

With the process to find, purchase and transfer suppressors in the United States being as tedious as they are, one of the biggest fears of a new owner is damaging their new toy. While there is always the potential for manufacturing defects, the more common cause of silencer wounds is user error. If you are a soon-to-be owner of a new suppressor, use these images as a cautionary tale to reduce the possibility of hurting your investment.
