In this episode, you learn about the highs and the lows of your soon-to-be-favorite podcast. And what is it that makes Silencer Shop so special? We created a group of fun-loving people, a culture of innovation, and an open door policy. At Silencer Shop we don’t believe in the impossible. We are the embodiment of “Don’t tell me I can’t do that, I’ll show you!”

How did we get the duo Tyler and Mike? Let’s take it back to the start. Reminisce with us on the beginnings of Silencer Shop and what makes our company special in this episode. How did it start, where are we now, and where are we going? Get the answers here from Tyler and Mike and don’t mind their microphone fiddling.

How did these two find their way home to Silencer Shop? A summer job at Academy after Tyler left the military introduced him to a gunsmith who worked at Silencer Shop. Mike was working in the resale of firearms and ammunition. A rise in demand and prices sent him to Silencer Shop, working in a cubicle near Tyler. The company was still young and a dealer with a regular barnyard cast of characters who filled our storefront. Crickets, dogs, and sweaty men shared the space waiting for their shiny new silencers. When Silencer Shop pivoted to distributing, it opened the rest of the country to our reach.

Then came the upending 41F law. The ATF decided everyone who wanted to buy silencers needed fingerprints, even trusts. Because Silencer Shop simplifies silencer purchases, this led to the idea for our innovative kiosks. Tyler and Mike share how an idea one weekend turned into a five-month plan to bring these kiosks into existence.

Tyler and Mike share the learning curve they both went through in working at Silencer Shop. With no watercooler conversations at most jobs discussing silencers, they appreciate that the Internet fosters a “silencer culture” that led to this incredible podcast.

We’ve got great plans in the works. Ride along with us and you’ll see!
