Inland Model 1910
The Inland Manufacturing Model 1910 is a 2026 suppressor paying homage to Hiram Percy Maxim’s original 1910 silencer — the design that established the suppressor as a practical accessory and gave the entire category its name (“Maxim Silencer” was Maxim’s trademark). Available in .30 caliber for the M1 Carbine and similar historically styled rifles, and in a 9mm variant for pistol and subgun use, the Model 1910 replicates the external profile of the original 1910-era can — including the offset bore that allowed the suppressor to clear the low iron sights of period firearms — with completely modern internal construction. Announced at NRAAM 2026 and reviewed by American Rifleman.

The Original Maxim Silencer: Why 1910 Matters
Hiram Percy Maxim — son of the machine gun inventor Hiram Stevens Maxim — patented the first practical firearm silencer in 1909 and began commercial production in 1910. The original Maxim Silencer used a series of baffles in a tubular housing attached to the muzzle, reducing report to a level that made indoor shooting and pest control practical without hearing protection. The design established the fundamental suppressor architecture that all modern suppressors descend from. Maxim’s 1910 design is visually distinctive — a longer, narrower tube than modern suppressors, with the offset bore that clears the front sight post of period rifles. The Inland Model 1910 reproduces that profile authentically while using modern baffle geometry and materials for actual sound reduction performance.
Inland Model 1910 Specifications
Calibers: .30 caliber (primary — designed for M1 Carbine, .30-30, and similar); 9mm (separate variant). Design: period-correct external profile based on 1910-era Maxim Silencer, including offset bore. Internals: modern updated baffle construction. Intended applications: M1 Carbine, historically styled .30 caliber rifles, lever-action rifles, 9mm pistols and carbines (9mm variant). Made in USA by Inland Manufacturing, Dayton, Ohio.
The Offset Bore: What It Is and Why It Matters
The original 1910 Maxim Silencer used an offset bore — the suppressor body was positioned slightly above the bore centerline rather than directly in line with it. This allowed the suppressor to clear the low-profile iron sights common on rifles of the period without requiring suppressor-height sight upgrades. The Inland Model 1910 reproduces this design detail, making it particularly well suited for the M1 Carbine platform whose original iron sights sit low on the receiver. For collectors who want a period-correct suppressed M1 Carbine without modifying the sights, the offset bore is a meaningful practical advantage.
Model 1910 on the M1 Carbine: The Natural Pairing
The Inland Model 1910’s .30 caliber variant is designed specifically for the M1 Carbine platform — the same firearm that Inland’s parent brand reproduced as its flagship product. A suppressed M1 Carbine with the Model 1910 mounted creates a historically evocative package: the most-produced American WWII firearm with a suppressor design that predates the war by three decades, both wearing Inland markings. The .30 Carbine cartridge at subsonic velocities through the Model 1910 produces a genuinely quiet combination. See our M1 Carbine page for compatible host options.
Model 1910 vs Gemtech Mossad II: Retro Suppressor Compared
The Inland Model 1910 occupies a unique niche — there is no direct competitor in the retro/historically-styled suppressor category at the production level. The Gemtech Mossad II is the closest comparison in terms of historical styling, but covers 9mm only. The Model 1910 specifically targets M1 Carbine owners and WWII collectors who want a suppressor that complements the historical aesthetic of their host firearm rather than contrasting with it. For that buyer, the Model 1910 has no production equivalent.
