The Phoenix – Rising from the Ashes

When Greg attended Shot Show 2016, little did he know that he would have a conversation with a dealer that would spark the beginnings of GSL Technology’s first branded suppressor. While at Shot show, Vito Servideo, owner of Only the Best Firearms and Accessories in Pompano Beach, Florida, visited the GSL Technology booth and talked with Greg about if he was going to create his own version of the Gemtech MK9-K suppressor now that Greg had left Gemtech.

While at Gemtech, Greg had wanted to take the design and make some changes that would improve the quality of the suppressor. He created the M baffle, machined the cones and changed the mount from a direct thread tri-lug to a spring loaded tri-lug for easier removal from the mount.

After their discussion, Vito wrote a check for 10 Phoenix suppressors while at Shot Show before Greg had even made any blue prints or prototypes for the changes. When Vito asked what Greg would call it, Greg said “The Phoenix because it’s rising out of the ashes of Gemtech”

That conversation sparked the creation of one of the best 9mm sub-machine guns currently available on the market. The Phoenix is full auto rated and can be disassembled for user maintenance and cleaning. Greg also designed separate direct thread adapters for the Phoenix for those that want the option to have a threaded mount instead.
