  • Patent number: 10184744
    Abstract: A quick connect for a pistol suppressor includes a housing having a first end, a second end, and a central bore with an upper portion, a lower portion, and an internal shoulder separating the upper and lower portions. A piston is within the central bore of the housing. The piston includes a piston shoulder that creates an upper recess within a central bore of the piston. A ring having a locking profile is selectively connected to the second end of the piston between the housing and the piston and a spring is positioned around an exterior of the piston. A wave spring is positioned in the upper recess of the piston adjacent the piston shoulder and a washer. A cap with a central opening and an internal locking profile is connected to the piston with the wave spring biasing the washer towards the locking profile.

  • Patent number: 9046316
    Abstract: A suppressor for a firearm having dynamic baffles that move together during the discharge of a firearm. A dynamic baffle assembly may be positioned within a housing that may be connected to a barrel of a firearm. A projectile path passes between dynamic baffles of positioned within the housing. The dynamic baffles include engaging faces that are adapted to permit the passage of the projectile through the dynamic baffles. The gas created from the discharge of ammunition impinges upon the engaging faces causing the movement of the dynamic baffles towards each other. The movement of the dynamic baffles may slow the flow of gases created by the discharge of ammunition and reduce the noise created during the discharge of a firearm.
