Angstadt Arms' NEW HUB Compatible Integral Suppressor - The Prophet

Luke C ( @BallisticAviation) is back at TriggrCon 2024 to talk with Rich Angstadt of Angstadt Arms about some of their newest suppressors. In previous years we've checked out their 9mm integrally suppressed PCCs and Rich and his team have now expanded that same concept to include the Vanquish for the 10/22 platform, and now the Prophet which does just about everything you can think of.

Today Rich tells us all about his new suppressors and what he thinks makes them stand out among the litany of suppressors already on the market.
