How Easy Is It to Buy a Suppressor with the Silencer Shop Kiosk?
For years, buying a suppressor had a reputation for being confusing, time consuming, and paperwork-heavy. Many shooters assumed it meant endless forms, fingerprint cards, trips to the police department, and months of uncertainty.
That’s no longer the case.
With the Silencer Shop Kiosk, the entire suppressor purchase process is streamlined, guided, and surprisingly easy — even if it’s your first time. From start to finish, everything is designed to remove guesswork and eliminate common frustrations.
Here’s exactly how it works.
Step 1 — Choose Your Suppressor
Start by selecting the suppressor that fits your firearm, caliber, and shooting style. You can browse suppressors in-store or online, and our knowledgeable staff is always available to help you compare options, explain performance differences, and make sure you’re choosing the right model for your needs.
Whether this is your first suppressor or your fifth, we’ll help you feel confident in your decision before moving forward.
Step 2 — Use the Silencer Shop Kiosk
Once you’ve made your selection, you’ll head to the Silencer Shop Kiosk — the heart of the process.
At the kiosk, you’ll:
- Scan your driver’s license
- Enter basic personal information
- Review and digitally sign all required ATF forms
The kiosk walks you through each step in plain language, ensuring nothing is missed. There’s no confusing paperwork, no guessing which box to check, and no legal jargon to decipher.

Step 3 — Fingerprints Made Easy
Forget messy ink cards or scheduling fingerprint appointments elsewhere.
The kiosk captures your fingerprints electronically, quickly, and accurately. This ensures they meet ATF requirements while saving you time and hassle. No smudges, no redos, and no extra stops.
Step 4 — Upload a Photo
You’ll also need a passport-style photo for your application.
