Wyosmith:

Right now, most people are willing to pay top dollar for quality instead of buying a lesser product for less money.

Here's the thing, due to the cost of following BATFE regulations, the few companies that are trying to follow the "McDonald's Approach" still can't make their silencers cheap enough to be able to gain enough market share. Due to the fact that people are already paying $200, waiting all that time, and probably won't ever be able to sell it, there's just not as much of a demand for cheaper, lower quality suppressors.
