Today’s prize: the BANISH 12 shotgun suppressor
Shotgun suppressors have historically been rare, heavy, and compromise-heavy. The BANISH 12 is the product that set out to solve all three problems at once. Its non-cylindrical, additively manufactured titanium housing gives waterfowl, upland, and turkey hunters a suppressor that is genuinely practical in the blind and in the field including being light enough to hang on a duck gun all morning, shaped to preserve the sightline over the receiver, and engineered around three interchangeable choke inserts so shot pattern control is not sacrificed for suppression.
The Banish 12 from Silencer Central is a groundbreaking 12-gauge shotgun suppressor that redefines performance for hunters, thanks to its innovative all-titanium construction and distinctive batwing shape. Entirely produced through advanced additive manufacturing (3D printing), the suppressor features a single-piece titanium body with seven conical baffles reinforced by 12 longitudinal spars running its length. These spars create a protective “fence” that guides the shot wad smoothly from muzzle to interchangeable choke tubes while shielding the baffles from debris and high-pressure gas, ensuring flawless function with everything from #8 birdshot to slugs which is something traditional shotgun suppressors struggle to achieve without added bulk or failure points. At just 17.6 ounces and a compact 8.55 inches long, the lightweight titanium keeps muzzle weight low and swing natural, while the flattened, low-profile top (3.1 inches wide by 2.4 inches tall) with its central slope delivers an unobstructed sight picture over the bead, preventing any interference during fast wingshooting or turkey hunting. Paired with a durable Cerakote finish and choke-compatible mounting, the Banish 12’s clever engineering delivers hearing-safe suppression without compromising the shotgun’s handling, making it an ideal companion for waterfowl blinds, upland fields, or turkey woods.

Why the BANISH 12 shotgun suppressor is first-of-its-kind
Three design decisions separate the BANISH 12 from previous-generation shotgun suppressors, and all three come out of the additive-manufacturing process used to build it.
A non-cylindrical housing. A traditional suppressor is a machined tube. The BANISH 12 is printed in titanium, which freed the engineers to design an asymmetric 3.1-by-2.4-inch housing that is wider than it is tall. That keeps the suppressor from obstructing the shotgun’s sightline over the receiver — critical for wing shooting, where you track a bird with your eye, not a rib.
Functioning choke tubes. Shotgun performance depends on pattern control, and pattern control depends on the choke at the muzzle. The BANISH 12 does not replace the choke — it integrates with it. Three interchangeable choke inserts (Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full) ship with the can, so a waterfowl hunter, an upland hunter, and a turkey hunter all get the pattern they need from the same suppressor.
Weight. Titanium and additive manufacturing together put the BANISH 12 at 17.6 ounces. That is light enough for a duck gun or a 12-gauge upland over/under without turning the shotgun into an unwieldy muzzle-heavy rifle-shaped object.
BANISH 12 shotgun suppressor sound reduction in the field
Manufacturer-published sound reduction on the BANISH 12 is up to 21 dB. That is a smaller net reduction than a centerfire rifle can on a rifle, which is expected — shotgun report is a different acoustic profile, and the BANISH 12 is engineered around the constraint that a shotgun has to pattern shot through the bore. In field conditions with typical 12-gauge hunting loads, the 21 dB reduction brings the muzzle report down to a level where a hunter can shoot multiple shells without protective ear muffs clamped down, and a retriever or hunting dog sitting a few feet away is exposed to measurably less cumulative noise over the course of a morning. The OSHA cumulative-noise guidelines treat repeated shotgun report as a hazard worth controlling at the source, which is the whole design premise of a can like the BANISH 12.
Who the BANISH 12 shotgun suppressor is built for
The BANISH 12 is optimized for four specific shotgun use cases, in rough order of design intent:
- Waterfowl hunting — duck, goose, and related wing shooting where repeated volleys from a blind cause cumulative hearing damage to the shooter, spotters, and dogs.
- Upland hunting — pheasant, chukar, quail, grouse. Light weight matters here; the 17.6-ounce suppressor does not break the balance of a 12-gauge over/under.
- Turkey hunting — where a tight full-choke pattern is the whole point of the gun and shot-pattern control cannot be sacrificed for suppression.
- Clay shooting — skeet, sporting clays, trap. Range sessions mean high round counts; suppressing those rounds protects hearing over seasons and decades of shooting.
- Open: 6:00 AM CT on Sunday, April 26, 2026.
- Closes: 11:00 PM CT the same day.

Frequently asked questions
What gauges is the BANISH 12 rated for?
The BANISH 12 is dedicated to 12-gauge shotguns. It mounts via a choke mount system and ships with three interchangeable choke inserts — Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full — so a single suppressor covers waterfowl, upland, turkey, and clay applications.
How much sound does the BANISH 12 reduce?
Manufacturer-published sound reduction is up to 21 dB. In a waterfowl blind or upland field setting, that reduction is enough to allow repeated shots without muffs clamped down and measurably reduces cumulative noise exposure for hunting dogs and spotters over the course of a morning.
How much does the BANISH 12 cost?
The BANISH 12 MSRP is $1,229. It ships with three interchangeable chokes (IC, Modified, Full). With the $200 NFA tax stamp eliminated on January 1, 2026, a 2026 purchase is effectively $200 cheaper out the door than the same purchase in 2025.
Does the BANISH 12 shotgun suppressor preserve my sightline?
Yes. The BANISH 12 uses a non-cylindrical housing that is 3.1 inches wide and 2.4 inches tall, intentionally shaped to keep the shotgun’s rib and bead visible to the shooter’s eye. That is a first among production shotgun suppressors and is enabled by the additive manufacturing process used to build the titanium housing.
Is the BANISH 12 user-serviceable?
No. The BANISH 12 is a sealed design. For hunting-typical shot counts, no user service is required. Titanium construction and Cerakote finish together resist corrosion from waterfowl-environment saltwater and moisture exposure.
How is the winner notified?
The winner is posted to the Winners Page and emailed the following day. A signed affidavit of eligibility must be returned by physical mail to Brand Avalanche Media, Inc., 4343 16th St #161, Moline, IL 61265 within 14 days.
