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.
