SAAMI® to Participate in PCB 2025 Conformal Ballistic Training

SHELTON, Conn.-- The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute,® Inc., (SAAMI®) will participate in the 2025 Conformal Ballistic Training in Buffalo, N.Y., on August 20 and 21.

Alan Serven, SAAMI’s Senior Director, Technical Affairs, will present on the new SAAMI American National Standard (Z299.6) for Suppressors for the Use of Commercial Manufacturers.

This standard covers the thread specifications for attaching suppressors (and other muzzle devices) to firearms, sound-reduction measurement and other design considerations such as stress testing and over-pressure testing. Additionally, the presentation will delve into the statistical derivation of SAAMI pressure limits and discuss some common issues encountered in ballistic testing seen in the real world.

The Conformal Ballistic Training is a two-day exclusive training sponsored by PCB Piezotronics that will cover conformal ballistic testing in accordance with SAAMI Standards Z299.1 – Z299.4. Learn more about the training session, including registration information, here.

SAAMI is the organization at the forefront of promoting firearm safety by creating standards that ensure safety, reliability and interchangeability of firearms, ammunition and components.
