“This is my Boom Stick”. This timeless quote from Army of Darkness, referring to the hero’s shotgun, comes to mind any time I pick up a shotgun. But what if it wasn’t a boom stick, but rather a whisper stick? The good folks over at Silencer Central have read my mind and have now released the newest suppressor in their BANISH lineup. Very quietly, say hello to the BANISH 12.
Silencer Central Takes the Boom out of Your Boom Stick with the BANISH 12
The BANISH 12 was designed specifically with hunters in mind. The 12-gauge shotgun suppressor was designed to reduce report and recoil while preserving the shotgun’s handling and performance. To that end, the BANISH 12 was engineered to be as light and compact as possible, while still delivering hearing-safe suppression. It also offers unobstructed sight lines and utilizes interchangeable chokes to ensure shooters can see their targets and adjust their shot patterns.

“I am excited to finally unveil the BANISH 12 shotgun suppressor,” said Brandon Maddox, BANISH Suppressors Founder and CEO. “Our engineering team has been working on this project for a long time, going through more than 50 design iterations to make sure they got it right. They challenged themselves to develop the first true hunting shotgun suppressor, and they nailed it. The BANISH 12 is a gamechanger, and I’m excited to see it in waterfowl blinds, uplands fields, and turkey woods this season.”
The BANISH 12 Dramatically Suppresses the Sound of the Shot
One of the great traditions in wingshooting is sharing the hunt, whether joining a group of friends or making it a family affair. But, as those who have been in a full blind know, when the call comes to “take ‘em,” it can get very loud. The BANISH 12 dramatically suppresses the sound of the shot and is capable of bringing most 12-gauge loads down to hearing-safe levels.

The key to the BANISH 12 lies in its use of additive manufacturing and all-titanium construction. By blending premium materials with a cutting-edge process, engineers were able to design and produce a suppressor with a sophisticated internal structure that has no excess bulk or weight. Durable and comparatively light at just 17.6 ounces, the BANISH 12’s distinct exterior was thoughtfully rendered to ensure the suppressor would not obstruct the shooter’s sight line, from the barrel to the bead to the bird.
Specialized Mount
The BANISH 12 uses a specialized mount that matches your shotgun’s choke tube design, and additional mounts are available for swapping the suppressor between different shotgun makes and models. To tune shot patterns, the BANISH 12 comes with its own set of three choke tubes – Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full – that screw into the end of the suppressor. Additional chokes in various constrictions are also available for purchase.
