USA Carry is the media partner for Day 64 of Silencer Central’s 100 Days of Silence, and this is a prize I want my readers in front of. One winner takes a complete suppressed 9mm package with a verified appraised retail value (ARV) of $3,877.73, just shy of $4,000 in guns and gear. Entry is free.
Here is why this build is worth your time if you carry or keep a gun for home defense. Most of the campaign leans toward rifles and hunting rigs. Day 64 is built around a pistol-caliber platform, a quiet 9mm can, and the paperwork service that puts all of it on your doorstep.
The host firearm is the Ruger PC Charger. It is a blowback 9mm built on Ruger’s takedown chassis, with a 6.5-inch cold hammer forged barrel threaded 1/2×28 for a suppressor, a 17-round magazine, and interchangeable magazine wells that run both Ruger and Glock mags. The dead blow action keeps recoil and muzzle rise low, and the whole pistol breaks down for transport in seconds. It ships suppressor ready.
The suppressor is the BANISH 9 from Silencer Central. It is a full-size 9mm can with 14 baffles and up to 34 decibels of reduction, built from titanium with a 7075 aluminum tube. With its Micro Booster installed it runs 7.16 inches and 8.57 ounces, and in direct-thread trim it drops to 6.8 inches and 6.73 ounces. It is rated from .380 through 9mm and also handles .300 Blackout and 350 Legend, so it follows you across more than one host.
The optic is an ATN ThOR 6 Mini thermal scope. It runs ATN’s 6th-generation thermal engine with a 12-micron core, a 50 hertz refresh, SharpIR image processing, picture in picture, and Recoil Activated Video that saves the seconds before and after your shot to 64 gigabytes of onboard storage. The housing is magnesium alloy and IP67 rated, so it earns its place on a working gun, day or night.
The ammunition is Winchester Super Suppressed 9mm, a 147-grain subsonic load that leaves the muzzle at 990 feet per second. It stays under the speed of sound by design, so there is no sonic crack for the can to fight, and the encapsulated bullet burns clean to keep fouling down.
The steel is a Shooting Targets USA dueling tree. Six 6-inch paddles of quarter-inch SR500 steel flip from side to side when you hit them, on a five-foot stand built for non-magnum handgun calibers. It is made in King, North Carolina, and it is the kind of target you can run all afternoon.
The package also includes a one-year membership to Armorer, the firearm maintenance app I built. It tracks round counts per gun, flags service intervals, manages your ammo inventory, and gives a suppressor or optic its own cleaning schedule. Serial numbers are encrypted and photos are stripped of location data before they upload.
Silencer Central anchors the campaign and handles the part that scares people off. They run the ATF Form 4 for the winner through the eForm system and ship the approved suppressor straight to the door, with no FFL transfer to schedule. Their posted averages run about four days for individual filings and about 18 for trusts, and a free NFA gun trust comes with it.
Here is the part that changed the math this year. The $200 federal tax stamp went to zero on January 1, 2026 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The Form 4, background check, and registration are all still required, but the tax that sat on suppressors since 1934 is gone. The paperwork is the only step left, not the cost.
How to enter. The window opens at 6:00 a.m. Central Time on Friday, June 19, 2026 and closes at 10:00 p.m. Central the same day. Entry is free at popularsuppressors.com/100-days-of-silence/. Drop your email in the entry panel, then knock out the optional actions for extra entries. The winner is drawn Saturday, June 20.
Eligibility is open to U.S. residents 21 or older. Residents of New York, Florida, California, and Rhode Island cannot enter or win. The suppressor prize cannot be delivered to residents of suppressor-prohibited jurisdictions: California, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington, D.C. The full Official Rules are linked from the campaign page.
Where Day 64 fits. Silencer Central’s 100 Days of Silence runs April 17 through July 25, 2026, with one suppressor given away every single day to a verified U.S. adult 21 or older in a suppressor-eligible state. Silencer Central anchors it and PopularSuppressors.com hosts it. Day 64 is the one I would point my own audience toward, because it is built around the pistol and the carry use case my readers already live in. Enter free Friday, and do it before the window closes.
