The EXPLORR series was built on years of prior experience and R&D with tubeless designs. Relatively unknown Griffin started pushing the limits on modern suppressor engineering when in 2010 they designed the first tubeless silencers in the US. Tubeless designs although relatively featureless provide the most optimal strength to weight ratio of any construction method. With a solid background in tubeless suppressor engineering Griffin sought to push the limits of what was capable by creating the EXPLORR series of suppressors that hit titanium weights with a more durable material. Lower weight means smaller point of impact shift higher unsupported position accuracy potential and less fatigue to the user when carrying equipment. The EXPLORR Taper Mount editions are slightly lower weight than the EXPLORR Utility Mount versions for users seeking the lightest weight possible.
