Griffin Armament
About Griffin Armament
Griffin Armament has been a leading innovator in the sound suppressor industry since 2005, founded by combat veterans Austin and Evan Green.
The company was established as a research and development focused business after the founding brothers experienced hearing loss during their military service overseas.
Starting as Hearing Protection LLC, Griffin Armament developed into a vertically integrated manufacturer controlling their entire production process at their 65,000+ square foot facility in Watertown, Wisconsin.
The company pioneered the first commercially available tubeless suppressors in the United States and has maintained financial independence in an industry marked by frequent mergers and acquisitions.
Today, Griffin Armament continues their commitment to providing industry-leading sound suppressors, complete firearms, and accessories while remaining combat veteran-owned and operated.
