Former partner and president of SWR Manufacturing Henry Graham has left his post at SilencerCo.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at SilencerCo and have made many great friends. SilencerCo provided me the freedom and resources to redesign and enhance the SWR line to previously unobtainable levels," said Graham in an email to GearScout. "Silencers are my passion, and I look forward to immediately pursuing new opportunities within the industry."
Graham became an owner of SWR along with partners William Ellison and Matt Pallett when they bought the company from Joe Gaddini in 2006. SilencerCo then bought the company from the three partners in 2011, keeping Graham on the payroll as R&D director and later making him SilencerCo's chief operations officer.
"Henry is a good man, and a good friend," says SilencerCo CEO Joshua Waldron. "His departure was the best decision for SilencerCo as we continue to grow and innovate. We wish him well in his endeavors."
SilencerCo folded SWR's product portfolio into the their own line and now Graham's departure marks the passing of the last vestige of the SWR brand from the suppressor manufacturing landscape.
