Ruger Announces New Silent-SR .22 Caliber Suppressor
OutdoorHub Reporters 01.07.16
Ruger is a major major firearms manufacturer, but up until now they have not produced any suppressors. That’s changed with the introduction of the Ruger Silent-SR.
According to Ruger the Silent-SR sound suppressor is rated for .22 LR full auto, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR pistols and rifles. It also features a standard 1/2”-28 thread pattern for compatibility with most threaded rimfire firearms. Don’t worry if you have a different thread pattern on your gun as there will likely be adapters available when the Silent-SR is released. Ruger also claims that the new suppressor offers a very impressive 40 dB sound reduction, making it one of the quietest .22 cans on the market.
There’s no word yet on when these will be available for consumers, but you can expect a $449 MSRP. You can view the sell sheet and full list of features below.
