OK, I have wanted this concept to materialize.
Rimfire cans are largely designed to be a one-trick pony for hosts - with pistols needs driving the design (thread on and skinny for sights)

Would you be interested in a dedicated .22 suppressor that had the following criteria:
- Had roughly the same size of a 5.56 can (benefit of more volume plus looks)
- Utilized the Rotex/Surefire/B&T QD Mount (benefit of having a muzzle device protecting the threads when not on and solid lock up)

I don't mind the idea of a fatter 22 suppressor. Just picked up a CAT Ben and love it on my S&W 15-22 pistol.

However I like light 22 suppressors, and I think the Surefire mount alone weighs more than any 22 suppressor I own.

My FOR Pluto weighs less than a Surefire muzzle device.

A hub mount .22 can could use a Surefire/B&T adapter to mount on compatible mounts.  That would also allow for people to use other brands of mounts if they wanted.

Yup, that’s the only thing that would make sense. If you want a bigger can, just use a 5.56 can.

Here’s one. I just don’t think there’s much of a market for what you’re describing.

OP....are you a designer or engineer that is currently employed by a manufacturer of suppressors ??

OR...are you currently an 07/class 2 SOT ??


If the answer is "no" to either or both questions....then please explain how you plan to do this.

I talked to the owner/importer of a pretty prominent company which makes a large catalogue of suppressors

I think there's a place for HUB compatible 22 silencers. I don't think there's a need for one with an integrated Surefire mount.
