SilencerCo just announced three new suppressors: the S98, Scythe STM, and Spectre 9K which cater to handgun, rifle, and subgun platforms.
Here’s a breakdown of their info, pricing, and anticipated availability.
S98: Lightweight Suppressor for 9mm Handguns
The S98 is SilencerCo’s newest suppressor for 9mm handguns, featuring an eccentric design that positions the bore below the shooter’s line of sight. This allows for an unobstructed view and a sleek profile.
Made entirely of titanium, the S98 weighs just 7 ounces and measures 5.54 inches in length, making it exceptionally lightweight. The coolest feature in my mind is the utilization of a low-profile tri-lug mounting system.
While the one I saw was a prototype, it should be low profile enough to take apart a pistol slide without removing the device. This also lets me mount the suppressor in like two seconds which I think is super neat.
Key Features:
- Tri-lug mounting system
- Full-titanium construction
- Eccentric design for unimpeded sightlines
- Weight: 7 ounces
- Length: 5.54 inches
- MSRP: $1,269
The S98 is rated exclusively for 9mm handguns and comes with a ½ x 28 quick-detach (QD) mount. It’s expected to hit the market in Q3 2025.
Scythe STM: Modular Suppression for Rifles
Expanding on their Scythe series, SilencerCo introduced the Scythe STM, a stainless steel suppressor built for durability and hard-use applications.
Furthermore, the Scythe STM is modular, offering two configurations: a short setup weighing 10.4 ounces and a long configuration at 14.7 ounces.
Additionally, it’s rated for calibers ranging from 5.56 NATO to .300 RUM, with no barrel length restrictions, and it’s full-auto rated.
Key Features:
- Modular design with short and long configurations
- Stainless steel construction
- Weight: 10.4-14.7 ounces
- Length: 5.1-6.9 inches
- MSRP: $939
The Scythe STM also ships with several accessories, including mounting tools, a titanium direct thread mount, and an aluminum single-port anchor brake. It’s already available for purchase.
Spectre 9K: Compact and Versatile
SilencerCo’s Spectre 9K stands out by offering impressive sound suppression in a compact, lightweight design.
Weighing just 3.9 ounces and measuring only 3.69 inches in length, this suppressor is perfect for subguns, handguns, and other compact platforms.
Despite its smaller size, the Spectre 9K delivers sound performance that is, surprisingly, comparable to larger suppressors.
Key Features:
- Full-titanium construction
- Rated for 9mm and .300 BLK (subsonic and supersonic for 9mm, subsonic only for .300 BLK)
- Weight: 3.9 ounces
- Length: 3.69 inches
- MSRP: $879
Moreover, the Spectre 9K is fully compatible with SilencerCo’s Alpha accessories and mounting systems. It is already shipping and comes complete with the Spectre Piston Housing Assembly.
