Introducing the BANISH 46-V2
There are a lot of hunters and shooters who like to shoot big guns, and big guns require big suppressors. That is where the BANISH 46 came in. It was designed to be the ultimate big bore suppressor. It has a .46-caliber bore size and can handle things like the popular .45/70 and 450 Bushmaster. While the 46 is a popular can, there was room for improvement. The latest variation, the BANISH 46-V2, delivers the same big-bore firearm suppression, in a lighter, more compact package.
The New 46-V2 is lighter and shorter, but the original 46 is now available at a lower price while supplies last!

About the BANISH 46-V2
The BANISH 46-V2 is the new and improved version of BANISH’s big-bore can. It can handle up to a .46-caliber bullet and is lighter, shorter and quieter than the competition. It weighs just 15.3 ounces and is only eight inches long, keeping your firearm maneuverable. It works well with rifles and pistols, making it a great choice for someone who shoots both a big rifle like the 450 Bushmaster, and a powerful pistol, such as a 10mm.
Made of titanium, the durable Banish 46-V2 is a very compact suppressor for big-caliber rifles. The 46-V2 is a user-serviceable suppressor that is easily disassembled for cleaning. You can easily clean the baffles in a tumbler, ultrasonic cleaner, or by hand with a brush and solvent, making it simple to keep operating at peak performance. Reassembly is just as easy, thanks to the keyed and indexed baffles. This guarantees that each one will line up perfectly with the others.
The key thing to note about the BANISH 46-V2 is that it gives you an average of a 30-decibel reduction from the shot, helping protect your hearing and the hearing of those around you. It helps tame the recoil from your rifle and in most cases, it stabilizes the bullet, so you’re more accurate. This is true whether you’re using a big-caliber lever-action rifle, like a .45/70, or a bolt-action rifle shooting .350 Legend.
WHY YOU WANT A 46-V2
You may have noticed that lever-action rifles are cool once again. There are a lot of them on the market now, and more seem to be coming out all the time. Many of these are in calibers like .45/70 and that is a lot of thump to deal with at the shot. A BANISH 46-V2 manages the thump quite well.
More of the big-name manufacturers are retooling production lines to come out with new lever-Let’s face it, lever guns are fun to shoot and the more compact design that most have make them excellent choices for Whitetails and other big game. An increasing number now come from the factory with a threaded barrel, too, making it easier to add a suppressor, like the BANISH 46-V2.
The .450 Bushmaster came out in 2007 and was developed by Tim LeGendre of LeMag Firearms, who then licensed it to Bushmaster Firearms International. The big.450 might have headed off into obscurity, but for the fact that several states that previously banned any deer hunting firearms other than shotguns or muzzleloaders within select zones started allowing straight-wall cartridge use. This put the 450 Bushmaster and other straight-wall cartridges back in the spotlight for hunters. Different rifles were chambered for the cartridge and ammunition was more readily available. It wasn’t long before new straight-wall cartridges were developed. The .350 Legend was an instant success, followed by the .360 Buckhammer, with more new additions coming all the time.
Alongside the growing interest in straight-wall cartridges came the growing need for a suppressor designed to reduce the bark of these big-bore guns. The latest and most innovative is the BANISH 46-V2. The significance of it is that many hunters using straight-wall cartridge rifles do so in areas where people are closer to hunting land, hence the decisions from the states to allow the use of these rifles for hunting.
Using a suppressor is a great way to help keep hunting lands open for use, as the sound of the shots isn’t as big of an issue.
