2026 Really Is the Year of the Suppressor
2026 is the year of the suppressor. After the $200 NFA tax stamp was eliminated, demand surged and the market responded with a wave of new companies, rapid innovation, and more factory-threaded firearms than ever before. In this piece, an NFA dealer shares what he’s seeing on the ground, from the flood of first-time buyers to the industry-wide shift that has turned threading from a nice-to-have into a baseline expectation.
Armorer App Review: The Inventory System a Serious Collector Actually Needed
I keep a large firearms collection and a gun store inventory. For years I relied on messy spreadsheets and mental notes to track what I owned and where it lived. Then I started using the Armorer app from the team behind USA Carry.
Armorer is built for gun owners who actually need to manage a real collection. I use it primarily as a private inventory system for firearms, NFA items, optics, accessories, and ammo. I can tag storage locations, attach notes and values, and export everything to a spreadsheet. The privacy features—especially the encrypted serial numbers—were a major reason I stuck with it.
One of the most practical benefits? If something ever happens to me, my wife has a clear, organized record of what exists and what it’s worth instead of having to dig through safes and drawers.
It’s not a perfect app, but for collectors and shop owners who need a clean, private way to track a large inventory, Armorer solves a real problem.

NOT SO SWEET HOME ALABAMA
NOT SO SWEET HOME ALABAMA - Alabama, home of Roll Tide, War Eagle, Talledega and now the Let’s Go Brandon movement. Alabamans have no problem letting you know how they feel. Take last year at the Nascar race in Talledega—no one even remembers who won the race. But it’s what happened afterwards that strikes fear and is like fingers on a chalkboard to the Left. During the winner’s interview the crowd was drunk with excitement and jubilantly started chanting “F@ck Joe Biden.” When you get 60,000+ fans chanting in unison, it sends a message. Go big or go home I always say! Instead of cutting the interview short, the reporter lied and reported that the crowd was chanting “Let’s Go Brandon!” Ironic how it was the “fake news” that was the start of the coded version of the message that now everyone could freely say in polite company.
