Building the New Suppressor. Want in?
Posted by Steve Cassidy on Oct 22, 2025
If you’ve ever tried to take your suppressor idea from concept to production, you already know what happens next:
A maze of ATF regulations, third-party shops that don’t understand tactical tolerances, and delays that kill momentum before your design ever hits the range.
That’s the old way.
That’s Commercial Off The Shelf — COTS.
It’s outdated. Slow. Impersonal.
So we replaced it.
Introducing the New COTS — Custom Off The Shelf™
The New COTS is how EOD Gear bridges the gap between research and reality.
Instead of off-the-shelf gear built for the masses, we design and build Custom Off The Shelf™ solutions — purpose-built for mission success and speed to market.
We’re using that same model right now to develop a new 9mm suppressor, designed, manufactured, and tested entirely in-house — and we’re opening the door for innovators to join us.
The days of relying on disconnected suppliers are over.
Most suppressor projects fail not because of bad ideas, but because inventors rely on outside shops without the proper licenses or experience.
At EOD Gear, we already hold the chain end to end:
ATF FFL Type 10 | SOT | ATF FEL Type 20 — backed by ISO 9001-2015 Quality Assurance.
The New COTS is built on real capability.
We don’t farm out machining — we do it here.
Our HAAS CNC Mill and Lathe deliver precision in titanium, aluminum, and stainless steel.
Every prototype, every run — fully documented and repeatable.
This isn’t hobby work. It’s Custom Off The Shelf™ manufacturing, the new standard for innovators who need speed and quality.
Innovation doesn’t end with the prototype — it begins there.
EOD Gear helps take your idea all the way through prototyping, manufacturing, marketing, and sales.
We’re the only team that not only builds your product but helps you get it into the hands of end users — the way it should be.
EOD Gear is currently developing a 9mm suppressor, and we’re opening limited collaboration slots for innovators who want to build within the New COTS framework.
If you’ve got a suppressor design — even an early concept — we’ll help you:
-
Prototype with our ATF-compliant manufacturing team
-
Validate through ISO 9001 QA processes
-
Move it to market under the EOD Gear brand ecosystem
