I know it doesn't necessarily apply to NJ but maybe S&W knows something is actually in the works for the Hearing Protection act? Fingers crossed that it's true and something will change here if it changes nationally. I'd love to have cans on my HD guns.

Either way, S&W is a good company and hopefully will make Gemtech grow as well.

And who knows, if S&W is right, maybe Silencerco will bounce back after taking their gamble on the Hearing protection act as well. We need all the good firearms companies and advocates for 2A rights we can get.

GEMTECH Sold To Smith & Wesson

In a story that’s worthy of the ‘BREAKING’ tag, Massachusetts based firearms manufacturer Smith & Wesson has purchased Idaho Silencer manufacturer GEMTECH. With details slim at the moment, there are obviously a lot of unanswered questions. However, the new GEMTECH headquarters building in Meridian, Idaho is still on schedule as well as all current product development and manufacturing capabilities.

Rumors of the sale had been floating for a few weeks, but with the announcement now official, I look forward to additional information as it becomes available. GEMTECH has been a leader in the silencer industry for decades – a trend I’d personally like to see continue for years to come.

It's foolish to think " people don't talk" outside the public realm.

This was my first thought when I saw the thread title.  If cans can be had with out NFA they'd sell like crazy.
