Gemtech Suppressors

About Gemtech

Gemtech's origins trace back to the late 1960s with Dr. Philip H. Dater, MD, a radiologist and Vietnam-era U.S. Air Force veteran who became interested in suppressors after purchasing a silenced .22 pistol that quickly lost its effectiveness.

Dr. Dater founded Automatic Weapons Company (AWC) in 1976 and later established Gemini Technologies (GEMTECH) in 1993, which became the modern company known today.

Under Dr. Dater's guidance, the company evolved from a basement machine shop operation into what became recognized as "the leading silencer company in the world."

Gemtech is credited with bringing suppressor technology from a niche product into practical, common use after nearly a century of obscurity, earning Dr. Dater the title "godfather of silencers."

Today, as part of Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., Gemtech continues its commitment to innovative suppressor design and manufacturing for military, law enforcement, and civilian markets worldwide.
