Ruger is arguably the first name in rimfire guns–now they’re going for the first name in rimfire cans. The Silent-SR 22 is a first for Ruger in a little round package. It’s a suppressor<\/a>, it’s affordable, it’s full-auto rated for .22 Long Rifle and it can be used with .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire and .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire.<\/p>\n

As you would expect from Ruger, the Silent-SR is a mid-range suppressor that most importantly, doesn’t sacrifice build quality to achieve a low retail price. It’s fairly light, at 6.3 ounces and compact at 5.4 inches long, with a diameter just a hair over 1 inch across.<\/p>\n

The suppressor body is titanium for its weight and strength properties, the baffles are stainless steel for longevity and the end caps are aluminum. The suppressor has a Cerakote finish, which scores high marks for durability and corrosion resistance.<\/p>\n

The baffle design is pretty radical and it’s clear a lot of thought went into the Silent-SR. It’s user-serviceable and comes with a straightforward takedown tool. The baffle stack comes out as a single unit and snaps apart for deep cleaning which is a critical feature for any good rimfire suppressor–they get dirty, fast.<\/p>\n

And like most rimfire guns, the Silent-SR has 1\/2×28 threads. Ruger claims it offers a 40-decibel reduction in sound pressure and real-world testing will have to back that up–and there will be a lot of real-world testing. This can has everything going for it and a suggested retail price of $449.<\/p>\n

With in-store prices likely under $400, the Silent-SR is priced between entry-level budget cans and more expensive rimfire suppressors offered by premium suppressor manufacturers. It hits the sweet spot in the middle, just right by Ruger standards.<\/p>\n

But what makes the Silent-SR really stand out is that it’s an NFA-regulated Ruger. Ruger is the dictionary definition of what “mainstream” stands for in the gun world, and if Ruger thinks that suppressors should be mainstream, it’s a solid bet they will be and soon.<\/p>\n

The Silent-SR 22 represents a greater sea change in the suppressor world and will go a long way to normalize suppressor ownership. Although the ATF recently removed the CLEO signatory requirement<\/a> for NFA transfers, the suppressor buying process is still pretty far from simple, and ultimately what a lot of people want is the removal of suppressors from the NFA entirely.<\/p>\n

It will take companies like Ruger to show people that suppressors are fun, cool and most importantly, safe if pro-suppressor legislation like the Hearing Protection Act<\/a> is going to pass. The Silent-SR 22, through the power of the traditional, all-American Ruger brand, really takes the edge off suppressors.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, this will just be the beginning for Ruger. A whole line of Ruger cans from rimfire to magnum rifle would be a huge gift to the suppressor community, and not just in the form of more suppressor options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
