## Resource

Today's guest is James from Zer0 & Sons, a new crew that's using 3D printing to squeeze way more performance out of modern suppressors and way less money out of your wallet. By printing in metal instead of sticking to old‑school machining, they can make cans that are lighter, tougher, and shaped inside in ways you just can't do any other way, and also get the price down to something akin to the cost of a new rifle or handgun, rather than the latest bougie 2011. That means better gas flow, less blast to your ears, and gear that actually feels good to run on the guns people use every day at a price that most of us can afford. Please give a warm welcome to the founder of Zer0 & Sons, James! Zer0 & Sons Website Zer0 & Sons on X
