Sioux Falls, South Dakota – BANISH Suppressors, the industry-leader in purpose-driven, hearing-safe firearm suppressors, is proud to announce that the BANISH 12, the revolutionary shotgun suppressor designed for hunters and sport shooters, has been named Suppressor of the Year for 2025 by the editors of Guns & Ammo.

“We are thrilled to see the BANISH 12 win the award for best suppressor,” said Brandon Maddox, BANISH Suppressors Founder and CEO. “We set out to develop a shotgun suppressor you could actually hunt with. It had to be small enough, light enough, and it couldn’t interfere with your line of sight down the barrel. It also had to perform well, in terms of noise reduction and at the patterning board – that's why we include interchangeable chokes. It's the most practical hunting shotgun suppressor out there, and we are proud to be recognized for it.”

To determine each years’ winners, Guns & Ammo receives product nominations from their editorial staff and contributors. Products must have been recently introduced and tested to be eligible, and the Guns & Ammo team votes during their annual Editorial Roundtable, held this year in Grand Junction, Colorado. The annual awards are given to those innovative products that represent the best of the best in each category.

“Starting with Federal’s Top Gun load – unsuppressed – we recorded a baseline,” wrote Guns & Ammo’s Mark Fingar. “The noise level was typical. Adding the BANISH 12, we fired a few shots – and wow! It was quiet enough to remove hearing protection and go through the remainder of the box. It sounded like shooting .22 shorts. Overall, the BANISH 12 will make shooting a 12-gauge shotgun more enjoyable for anyone who tries it.”

The BANISH 12 is a titanium shotgun suppressor designed to provide a clear line of sight from the bead to the bird. It uses a mount that replaces the choke tube of your shotgun model. On the muzzle end, interchangeable screw-in choke tubes are used help the shooter patten the suppressed shotgun for specific types of hunting and shooting.
