Somebody should buy the Banish 12 and do a real world review for us here.

All the Instagram stuff is like “nah bro, you don’t notice the weight”, “nah man, dosent effect your swing, it’s dope bro”….

Like mentioned by the op, silencer central pimps themselves out to low level influencers who get free/cheap silencers so say good things.

I would love a shotgun suppressor. Going to wait before getting one in hopes that there are lighter/more affordable options. I have used a shotkam on the end of my barrel. It weighs 7.5 ounces and didn't affect my swing.

Yeah, shotgun suppressors are a novelty IMO. You will notice the weight, it will affect your swing, it will affect your pattern, it won't be super quiet.

I want to suppress my turkey gun and plan on doing a form 1 after Jan 1. Then will make an integral suppressor, drill holes in the barrel for bleeding off gasses and pack with stainless steel scrubbies. As shotguns are only 150-155 db, that should be enough to get under 140. For wingshooting, you can do the same thing and just shorten up the barrel to help with weight and swing.

I don’t think adding a suppressor that bolts the muzzle on would swing well. It might work if you put it on a short barrel like an 18” for hd. On a 28”+ setup it would be a big club.

I believe the best for bird hunting suppression is https://www.suppressorsbyphoenix.com/shotguns
Once I replenish my toy fund, I'll send an A300 to them and get a review done. I haven't heard of or seen one in person, so I guess I'll volunteer as the guinea pig.

You don't have to I just got mine last week. It reduces the sound with dove loads, heavy slow turkey loads, and heavy loads of buckshot to hearing safe levels best I can tell to my 41yr old tinnitus ears. Shooting a high velocity slug it's pretty loud. I sent them a 24" 870 barrel the balance isn't bad but it does add weight to the swing. It completely blocks the front sight so I added a vortex viper red dot and it barely clears it with my cheek high on the stock. All together it's ok so far not as big of a difference as a rifle suppressor. Honestly I don't know that I would tie that much money up in it if I had it to do over again.

For turkey or waterfowl, I would go with the Phoenix integral suppressors. I haven’t used them personally, but they appear to be the best shotgun suppressor design available in the US.
