Ruger Silent-SR

[Willy Leadwell]

Did they push this out early because of the 41P announcement or what? Surely the timing can't be a coincidence?

@DoglegArms you got these in stock?

 

[AtlMedic]

Any idea on how much?

MSRP $449, so I'm guessing we'll see them on the shelves for $349ish.

Baffles are cast stainless steel.

I was wondering how they managed such an eccentric shape on the baffles. Are they cast or MIM?

rumor is lost wax cast.

Nope.

 

[PewPewPewCo]

Nope.

huh? not lost wax cast?

closer look at a baffle

I meant, nope, as in, no thanks.

I'm sort of conflicted. It's probably fine for Rimfire, but silencers are lifetime investments for us Americans.

I sort of had the same thought, it's just rimfire. But this one would need to be well proven before I ever considered buying one. I'd also be concerned about what happens if Ruger decides they don't want to play in the suppressor game down the line and support disappeared overnight.

im wondering if baffle erosion and ease of cleaning is affected by the rougher surface of a cast baffle.

 

[DarthVader]

The surface texture made me think it might be a pain to clean. And wonder if any subsurface defects would create an issue with ultrasonic use?

for the same money as a Spectre II, I'll take the Spectre II every time. Until this thing is proven in time to be superior, but I don't see that happening.

Like most of us, the consumer US cleaners aren't generally strong enough to make a problem.

This. Even if Cast is fine why pay more for it than a machined stainles baffle suppressor.

Pass....the ARC22 is better in every way for rimfire.
