Availability of Coastal Gun suppressors
Has anyone had any dealings with Coastal Gun (Clyde Wilson) in Brunswick, GA, during the last 6 months or so? I used to occasionally see Coastal’s cans stocked by a few dealers and now it seems that no dealers have them anymore. Has anyone gotten anything from them lately?

There are probably better choices for your dollar spent.

Re: Availability of Coastal Gun suppressors
I'm fully aware that Coastal's suppressors are not held in the highest regard by some people, particularly the cans they built more than 5 or 6 years ago. They don't employ the latest technology or the most expensive materials and are certainly built to a lower price point than the high end brands. They are what they are.blueheeler66 wrote:There are probably better choices for your dollar spent.
I suppose I should have posed my question differently. I wasn't asking whether there are better or worse chioces than Coastal suppressors out there. My question is whether there are any dealers who are currently receiving and stocking them. On their website Coastal has a fairly extensive list of dealers who distribute their products, but lately I haven't seen anyone who carries anything in stock. Is it because Coastal isn't building cans anymore?

I've only heard rumors they stopped making cans, but it's 3rd hand and originated in a gunshop.
I can't keep from commenting that there are better made silencers for the same money. Their rifle silencers are obscenely heavy.

I had one on my UZI and it just literally hummed.
I was extremely impressed with it.
This was an older can about 5-7 years ago. I sure miss it.

Re: Availability of Coastal Gun suppressors
We get more rebuild queries about Coastal than all the other mfg's.
Most dont go through with it becuase the recore is often more expensive or the same price as they cost originally.
Hard to justify for some, lots of retired to the back of the safe coastals out there.
