EchoCore Suppressors is proud to announce that its Sector 5.56 Compact suppressor has been honored with a 2025 Editor's Choice Award from On Target Magazine, one of the industry's leading authorities on firearms, gear, and performance-driven product evaluation. The award recognizes standout products that demonstrate exceptional innovation, value, engineering, and real-world capability.
"We're proud to be recognized by On Target Magazine with an Editor's Choice Award," said Chris Mudgett, Founder of EchoCore Suppressors. "At EchoCore, every design decision is centered on improving the shooter's experience. The Sector Compact reflects that focus — lighter weight, pleasing tone, reduced blowback, and advanced construction. This recognition is further proof that innovative engineering and modern manufacturing can deliver game-changing results. This award reinforces that our approach isn't just different — it's working."
"Selected after extensive editorial testing and technical review, the Sector 5.56 Compact impressed the On Target editorial staff with its sound performance, advanced internal architecture, and size-to-weight efficiency stated Ben Battles, Editor of On Target Magazine. "Earlier this year, we noticed the Compact model earned Second Place overall in Shooter's Ear (SE) LEQ dB(A) testing at the 2025 Silencer Summit, second only to EchoCore's full size model — which really caught our attention. Ultimately, we took a much closer look, and after a thorough evaluation found it to be a standout in the competitive suppressor field."
Weighing 12.9 ounces and measuring just 5 inches in length, the Sector 5.56 Compact is engineered to provide exceptional suppression with minimal impact on host-platform handling. Its fully 3D-printed, DMLS construction incorporates EchoCore's XCR (Cross Chamber Regulation) system and a helical baffle design delivering reduced blowback, smoother cycling, and a deep, refined tone preferred by shooters.
Rated for 5.56 NATO/6 ARC, and built around universal HUB 1.375x24 TPI compatibility, the Sector Compact offers tremendous versatility. It is available exclusively through Silencer Shop and its nationwide dealer network.
