#CurtisTactical

Good afternoon subsonic shooters and welcome back to another edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM R9 suppressor. Last week we looked into the classic three lug mounting system and the YHM R9 as a capable and affordable pistol caliber carbine suppressor. This week we return with more information on the Curtis Tactical 9mm CT700P integrally suppressed bolt action rifle and a comparison to one of my all time favorites, the Ruger 77/357 suppressed SBR. There’s no use holding out on you, the Curtis Tactical CT700P is one of the quietest centerfire rifle setups available today.

Good afternoon subsonic adventurers and welcome to the 145th edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new R9 suppressor. Last week I laid out ideas on some of the best 9mm pistol hosts currently available. This week we head back into the ‘best millimeter’ world with a special treat – a 9mm bolt action rifle and an integral suppressor – both from my friends at Curtis Tactical. Some of you are scratching your heads saying “why would I want a bolt action 9mm host?” The rest of you are rubbing your hands together with a Gollum-like look in your eyes. Let’s take a look and see why this could be a significant milestone for quiet shooters.

Recently I had the chance to catch up with friend and silencer master craftsman Joe Jones, owner of Curtis Tactical. Last year we took a brief look at some of Curtis’ projects and it’s nice to know that they are still pushing forward with beautiful and functional projects. Jones just finished converting a .30-06 Savage bolt gun into a .308 integrally suppressed tack driver. As you may have already guessed, I love rifles like this one.

In the third installment of the ‘Spotlight’ series we bring you Curtis Tactical – quite literally a “Mom and Pop” operation. And that is exactly how owner Joe Jones and his wife like to operate. Besides periodic crunch times when Joe needs to hire part time help to run the machines making baffles, he and his wife are perfectly happy running a silencer business on their own. “I don’t want to get any bigger; I like being able to make exactly what our customers want,” said Jones.
