My silencer central experience

[Hecouldgoalltheway]

Well, I went into this with an open mind and here are the facts. Form your own opinions.

1. I certified 2 suppressors last year one day apart. Same suppressors, and all of the info was identical, but when one of them was approved on the third day of this Feburary, and the other was declined because they messed up something on my form, so I'm back to the back of the bus for probably another year+ at this point.

2. The suppressor approved on Feb 3rd is still not shipped. That's 25 days ago. It has been showing the 7 day wait period for notifying local law enforcement since about the 7th. I called on Monday Feb 20th and nobody answered, so I left a message on their machine, and then immediately followed that up with an email. On Thursday February 23rd I still hadn't received any type of response, so I called again and left another message and an additional email. Later that day they sent me an auto generated link to leave them internal feedback. I gave them the business in the review, with lengthy explanation, and then checked the box marked "would you like to be contacted about this", um, yep. Well, yesterday was Monday the 27th, 24 days since approval and they haven't called or sent me a single email, so I called again and got a warm body. I asked him what the problem was, and he told me that the letter they sent to local law enforcement may or may not have gotten there, he couldn't tell. I told him about my frustrations, and that I couldn't even get anyone to call me back. He assured me that he would determine what the problem was and would call me back the same day...... surprised right.... never happened. Now it's Tuesday afternoon, 25 days since approval and it's still sitting in their warehouse, and they have still never returned a single phone call or email.

You guys do whatever you want, but as for me and mine, silencer central will no longer be a consideration for any purchases. Some of the most pathetic customer service I've ever seen.

I had one declined and it’s been over two years still not approved and yes I have several others and a couple sbr’s……….good luck

 

[Dunraven]

I had a good experience with them, and have only good things to say about them. Better to take your bitching directly to the company, where they at least have a chance to explain it or fix it.

OP, there’s something wonky with your dates above, but the gist of your post is understandable.

 

[Arc Light]

That's the second complaint I've read about Silencer Central on this forum in the last couple of weeks. If I remember correctly, the other guy had a problem with his Banish suppressor which they refused to address.

Looks like you struggle with reading comprehension bucko. I have attempted to resolve this issue with them numerous times and they refuse to respond. Your experience doesn't change the facts about mine. In fact, your response is moronic and useless. Imagine a guy who got food poisoning at McDonald's and you tell him to stop bitching about it because you've eaten there before and didn't get food poisoning. Just sit this one out, you don't want to continue this line of conversation, you aren't equipped for it..

Ok weird I copy pasted a different thread than what my post is showing lets try again but seems like several complaints about their CS. Although this one was a guy that was pissed he could not use the same can on his rifles and pistols

Silencer Central suppressors don't buy

They're suppressors look nice they are quiet but I was totally new to suppressors I talked to them on the phone and at the time I felt confident so I I bought a banished 30 and here are the reasons I would not buy from silence or Central I would not buy a suppressor from this company for the...

[Maggot]

Damn, I never ordered one because I had heard about all the ong waits...just because somebody wants to save their hearing. Fuck'em, Ill just get better ears and fuck'em.

 

[Keeper22]

One of my co-workers was approved the first week of January and still has not received his, he called them and they used the same thing about notifying the Sheriff.

 

[DocRDS]

Maybe I'm outta touch but doesn't the individual send the letters? That's what my shop had me do at purchase along with my paperwork. Send it off, then wait stupid amount. Get a call that your can is ready....

Xmas in July or whatever month you jailbreak

 

[Srgt. Hulka]

Is this still available?

 

[AllenOne1]

Option 1: Call your local sheriff and ask him about the letter and see if they received it. Seems risky to some degree. I didn't think the sheriff had final approval on the transfer anyway.

Option 2: Report it stolen.

 

[JbBooks]

We send all letters to the chief agent in charge at the AG’s office, that covers all counties in the state so we don’t have to fuck around with 77 different sheriffs

I have to admit I didn't finish reading the entire post, once it was clear where it was going. Just a waste of time. Personal complaints about individual companies and products don't belong here, in my opinion. Unless it's an obvious case of fraud, a guy should just man-up and deal with it like an adult. And personal insults say much more about you than me.

Man up and deal with it like an adult?

And not warn my fellow firearm enthusiasts about a company who performed poorly? The more you explain it the less intelligent it sounds. I have made plenty of purchasing decisions based on valid customer service reports on online forums. You think people should just shut up and take it when a company shits on you. Go watch riverdance videos and listen to soft rock until someone tells you what to do next.

Well since this is the bear pit, you seem more triggered than a left wing non binary feminazi antifa queef. 1 post that posted a different experience and didn't validate your personal outrage, and you went full defcon 0.

Or in english: you appear to be a raving asshole with thin skin.

You can shove that can up your tightly wound butthole

....If you had it. Too soon?

I'm not even sure what you're talking about. You clearly didn't read the conversation you quoted in this message. My butthole is wound very tightly though, so thank you. It's literally untouched by man, but there is a Freudian slip in your attempt at insult, and while I'm not going to waste my time explaining it, you have a clear obsession. This makes it obvious that your "doc" title isn't tied to your education, or lack thereof, but that you are some washed up former medic from some unholy badass national guard supply unit in New Hampshire or somewhere else equally irrelevant, and your entire identity is based on that short period of your life. This is me yawning. I am a raving asshole though, or at least I'm significantly better at it than you are, and if you want to wander down that dark alley with me, I will show you. You also are not equipped for this, so stay on the porch where it is safe for your kind.

The Pit never fails to deliver.

 

[Arc Light]

I swear to fucking God that gun owners have the worst case of "battered spouse syndrome" of any hobby. We get shit customer service, if any, lied to constantly, ripped off, scammed, etc. and we defend the offenders to the bitter end. I don't get it, honestly. This seems like another legit complaint against Silencer Central, enough so that I won't do business with them.

 

[jb0311]

While this isn’t the first thread where I’ve seen someone say they liked their SC experience, it is the first where I’ve seen not only 1, but two people seemingly get super offended that someone else did not enjoy dealing with them.

What a time to be alive.

I like the lights on though for gay sex/Creedmoor shooting!

Now tell me again how tight that butthole is, I'm harder than steel just thinking about it.

Kinda like when I tell someone the VA sucks dick, and then I get a super POG Wookiee with no deployments and 100% rated for PTSD tell me that they’re great in her experience.

Well, that’s real awesome for her.

Yeah there's always that guy 'mine works fine'

But losing your shit when that happens means you probably need therapy or are an asshole. Just ignore them and move on

I don't think you know what "losing your shit" means.

It is really all part of the obsession I was hinting at earlier. All of your posts reference people's anatomical assholes. This probably isn't the first time you've noticed this, or if it is, don't worry, maybe you can pray the gay away or whatever.

All talk and no play. Very disappointing

Ah....some of this is pretty much the same posts/different thread.

This is a forum...what we do is come here to converse, share experiences, comment, complain, and all of the other things people do on a forum. Its WTF its for.

We do often take exception to those who post complaints and never contacted the vendor or didn't give the vendor a chance to resolve the issue.

That is NOT the case here, if the OP is being accurate and honest and I have no reason to think otherwise.

To all of the "just man up and take it in the ass from Silencer Central" folks, if I got that response I would probably be even more vulgar and "triggered" than the OP.

Don't like what he posted....don't fucking read it.

Over and out.

Let me contribute: I got a med retirement a decade ago after 12 years army. They started my med board because they told me that I had to have a full joint replacement in my right knee at 32 years old. At 33 I was out, and now at 43, ten years later I am still trying to get it fixed. I had to go through the process with the VA to get an outside consult and surgery since they won't do anything but waste taxpayer dollars playing grab ass, so I had to go get a fresh x-ray so they could send it out to a private ortho doc. I got the x-ray and then spent 8 weeks calling the community care line at the Memphis VA multiple times a day before I finally got someone to answer the phone, just so that I could get the consult scheduled. They finally answered, told me they would get me a consult, and after an additional 3 weeks, called to tell me that I have an appointment in another 6 weeks. So...... fuck the VA and everyone who looks like them. We have been battling back and forth for a decade now about everything. Last year they sent me a letter asking me to prove I was still married to my wife of 22 years. I called and asked if they wanted a family picture or something. How the fuck do you prove that you're still married to the same woman? Anybody have any not divorced yet paper's? They told me that I just had to tell them I was still married, so I did. A few months later I got an email telling me that my wife's insurance was canceled and she was removed from deers because I hadn't proven that I was still married. Had to get Marsha Blackburn's office involved in that one. Fuck the VA.

I am poor, will you sponsor me? I'm sure you are exceedingly wealthy. Only successful people would spend their afternoon starting irrelevant arguments about shit that has no effect on their well being, while hiding behind their phone screen. I won't bother explaining what you sound like, but I guarantee you have your weak ass dd214 plastered across the back window of your minivan, and wife #3 probably doesn't hit you as often as the last 2, so there's always that.

I'm with you.

When there's fuckery afoot, I want to know about it so I can avoid running into those issues as well. Everyone drops the ball sometimes, and all businesses are eventually going to run into an asshole they can't possibly please. I'm happy to draw my own conclusions about a company based on my own due diligence.

I sure as hell don't need internet police censoring bad reviews, regardless of whether or not they have merit. That gestapo bullshit is for the birds.

I have to agree with this. If a person cannot read reviews, good and bad and then be able to make an informed choice, then I wish them luck with deciphering what politicians, news, net media and forums tell them about actual goings on in the world.

Edited to correct, because fuck fucking autocorrect and all the motherfuckers who’ve ever been involved in that fucking travesty of the English language.

I'm not absolutely sure, but the guys at Silencer central told me when I was certifying my apps last year that TN and Florida were the only states that they couldn't mail suppressors to the door due to the same set of regs. I never looked any further than that conversation..
