Inland Manufacturing is known for its updated versions of historic firearms, and at NRAAM 2026, the Ohio-based company showed off its latest venture: a suppressor for the M1 carbine platform based on an original Maxim Silencer design.

The father of suppressors, Hiram Percy Maxim, built his first trademarked "Silencer" in 1909. The center-bore suppressor obscured the low iron sights on rifles like the M1903 Springfield rifle, so in 1910, Maxim designed a suppressor with an offset bore to solve the problem. 

Now, Inland is offering Model 1910 suppressors in .30 caliber and .357/9mm that look like replicas of the Maxim design, but the internals differ. 

Inland uses a monoblock design that makes the cans easy to use and servicing them even easier. Once a Model 1910 suppressor is mounted on the barrel, it never has to come off, even for cleaning.
 

As our Inland rep pointed out, suppressors are about safer shooting. After all, Hiram Percy Maxim came up with the idea because his father went deaf from shooting loud guns. With all the history of shooting suppressed in our country, it’s exciting to see people learning to love suppressors again as it becomes more affordable to own one.
