Someone can buy a quality suppressor right now, and have it in their hands by April. Waiting til SHOT requires another 3 weeks just to see what is being released. Then, depending on the company, 9 more months to over a year for the new suppressor to ship to dealers. By then you have the 41P issue to worry about, not to mention being some company's beta tester, and you still have unpredictable NFA wait times that could have shot up to another year by then.
Waiting until SHOT makes sense for people with a big collection already, but for those with a few cans or those completely new it is mind boggling. Every single December/January people say "Wait for SHOT", and then every single May/June people flood the boards with "Any idea when the SR5/Saker/SDN6/TiRant/Octane9HD2 are shipping?"
