Having gone through some huge growth of the past few years, the company wanted to expand its capabilities and thought that the time was right for a modern integrally suppressed pistol. It was a unique new design of modern semiautomatic pistol build from the ground up to be integrally suppressed. The action is a proprietary delayed blowback system with all of the moving parts in the back half of the slide. This leaves the front of the gun dedicated entirely to suppressor volume.<\/p>\n<p>The guns were released at SHOT Show 2017, and were relatively slow sellers, because of the high price and the required NFA registration. The expected passage of the <em>Hearing Protection Act<\/em> around that time would have been a huge boon for sales, but did not ultimately happen. Still, production continued until tapering off in early 2021 as SilencerCo shifted priority to regular suppressor manufacture in the face of a boom in demand.<\/p>\n<p>The project may not have been a massive success for SilencerCo, but it was still a worthy endeavor that they do not regret. It helped mature the company, forcing them to embrace new proficiency in things like GD&#038;T and advanced quality control machinery. And the pistol is, in fact, very cool.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Check out Headstamp Publishing&#8217;s extensive catalog of excellent books:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&#038;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1lWcnVPcWltWTFySjZvb3B3bTlCWHBDMElGUXxBQ3Jtc0ttdlF1SGZuYzlFa1ZCZFowaHVzSU93NG5INjI4QUdsQTZlT1NjeVhGMURxUVNOM0FiZkZZa0prNUQ2eVAwYnNsSWJ3Zm9xZWpMVW5CMklVcGdLRFAzd1FXQ3dVVlNQcEVfOUJ2U0xqRDNqTTBRMHljdw&#038;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.headstamppublishing.com%2Fhome-forgotten&#038;v=j47UzC7qQ3M\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.headstamppublishing.com\/h&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All the best firearms history channels streaming to all major devices:<br \/>\nweaponsandwar.tv<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&#038;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHZJM0FUcEZVem80V2FtSW40Q244dDdSY3hoUXxBQ3Jtc0traV8zR2U0eG1zUXVwNUd6N0ZqcUQtTHNzYTUxMGl4MEVzREMyaHVJZnBpRzVYNTBzNFU2QWM2cVNtN2lqSnNNcmFHTjRjUEstVW9OWXpOdHYtdk9vUEl4V01WYWQxeWRTbTRSZEZzeUJSbVpQUnEzWQ&#038;q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.floatplane.com%2Fchannel%2FForgottenWeapons&#038;v=j47UzC7qQ3M\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/For&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forgotten Weapons Published 20 Aug 2025 SilencerCo announced the Maxim-9 pistol in late 2015.
