SilencerCo, ZEV & The Wildest Guns of 2026

From cutting-edge suppressors to futuristic folding PCCs, this NRAAM 2026 conversation covers some of the most innovative gear on the show floor.

At the 2026 NRA Annual Meeting, KJ checks in with Mike Aland from SilencerCo to talk about the current suppressor boom, why manufacturing quality matters, and how today’s cans are lighter, quieter, and more advanced than ever before.

The conversation covers:

• The new all-titanium SilencerCo S98
• Why vertical integration matters for suppressor quality and warranty support
• The legendary SilencerCo Omega 300
• Faster approval times and the end of the $200 tax stamp
• Ongoing efforts to remove suppressors from the NFA entirely

Then things get even more interesting.

KJ checks out some seriously innovative firearms with Will Hutchinson from ZEV Technologies, including the folding ZEV FDP developed alongside Magpul, plus high-performance OZ9 pistols built from ZEV’s modular chassis system.

From compact carry guns to competition-ready long slides, this episode is packed with some of the coolest gear on the NRA show floor.
