G&A 2014 Suppressor of the Year: SureFire Ryder 22-A

October 29, 2014 By G&A Staff

Suppressor use is quickly gaining wider acceptance for its inherent safety benefits and the joy it brings to people who use them. Combine a new lightweight suppressor design optimized for America's favorite rimfire and you have Guns & Ammo's top pick.

The SureFire Ryder 22-A was chosen Suppressor of the Year in the Dec. 2014 issue of G&A. Subscribe to print, digital or both!

It weighs just 3.1 ounces and adds only 5 inches to a threaded muzzle. The clever and easy-to-disassemble/reassemble baffle stack is colored red so you know when it's clean. At the range, G&A staff observed that accuracy and point-of-impact shifts were negligible.

Priced less than $500, the Surefire Ryder 22-A is an excellent value.
