Liberty Suppressors has released a new silencer for those of you who want to go large and do it quietly. And when we say large, we mean it.


Introducing the Goliath for .458 SOCOM.

The Goliath was probably named for the big-assed Philistine from Gath, though it could be someone's nickname from chubbybunnie.com. Rated for supersonic ammunition, it's intended to suppress the noise you make when you'd normally be going loud with the modern descendent of the old Trapdoor Springfield bullet.

It's 10 inches long, 2 inches in diameter, and built with a titanium core and tube. It dresses out at just 20 ounces.

Liberty says the Goliath meters at a "…mere 132.2 [decibels] (including First Round Pop) providing an average sound reduction of over 21 [decibels]." We haven't tested it ourselves — at least not yet — but since we're fans of the .458 round and shooting suppressed, we reckon it's worth a further look.

Liberty sez, and we quote,  "The Goliath is not for the faint of heart! Created for the mighty 458 SOCOM, this silencer not only stands up to the size of its name, but also the size of it's caliber. But don't think this giant is a clumsy oaf. With an end cap and core made of Grade 5 titanium and a tube made from Grade 9 titanium, the Goliath is a heavyweight hitter in a featherweight class."

This weight savings really comes in to play when perched on the end of a hog hunter's rifle of choice. Taming both the noise as well as the recoil of the 458 cartridge, the Goliath keeps you after game all night, instead of home early with tired shoulders and ears. When it comes to 458 SOCOM, it pays to have a giant on your side."

All hail Goliath. (Liberty Cans)

MSRP on the Goliath (the silencer, not anybody on Chubby Bunnie) is $999.

Liberty Suppressors is a family owned business based in the Peach State, last of the original Thirteen Colonies. They're known for their work with monolithic core silencers, offering cans from calibers from .22LR to .300 Ultra Mag.

You can find 'em online at libertycans.net, should you be so inclined.
