In its first year of public evaluation, EchoCore Suppressors made an immediate impact at the 2025 Silencer Summit, taking first and second place in the 5.56mm category with its Sector 5.56 Full Size and Sector 5.56 Compact suppressors. Tested under the industry’s most advanced and transparent standard — Shooter’s Ear (SE) LEQ dBA measurement — EchoCore’s performance marks a decisive debut for the new American manufacturer.
The Silencer Summit represents the gold standard in suppressor performance testing, providing independent, data-driven comparisons across leading brands using real-world acoustic analysis. EchoCore’s dual podium finish highlights the company’s commitment to advancing suppression through precision engineering, additive manufacturing, and its XCR (Cross Chamber Regulation) technology — designed to reduce backpressure while maintaining exceptional sound and flash reduction.
“Earning first and second place in our debut year validates everything we’ve worked toward,” said Chris Mudgett, Founder of EchoCore Suppressors. “EchoCore was built on the belief that true innovation is alive and well in this industry. Our team’s expertise, discipline, and relentless pursuit of performance are what make these results possible — and this is just the beginning.”
EchoCore Suppressors’ victory underscores the company’s technical leadership and rapid ascent within the competitive suppressor landscape. Each EchoCore model is engineered, manufactured, and tested in the United States using the most advanced materials and additive processes available to create industry-leading suppressors.
You guys do know fancy outer artwork design is not requirement for a suppressor, right?
I mean I can appreciate the art and understand wanting to show off some, and it is very nice looking, but how much cost does this add to the suppressor?
Cost is something I think people are somewhat expecting to come down now that there is no longer a $200.00 ‘tax stamp’ tax on a constitutional right.
… and it might be something to consider if it wasn’t already out of stock while being basically advertised here.
