A few months back, Guns.com reported that Diamondback Firearms had teamed up with Thompson Machine to make a suppressed DB380. Now it seems they are doing the same for the DB9.
American Rifleman is reporting that Diamondback is producing suppressed versions of the DB9 pistol now. There is no mention of this on the Diamondback site, but American Rifleman writers saw the pistol at the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers show held earlier this month.
Masterpiece Arms announced a line of suppressors starting with the the .22 LR and expanding to other calibers soon. The first suppressor is the MPA 22.
The MPA 22 suppressor is an all aluminum, dry suppressor that uses six K baffles to quiet the sound. The suppressor can be disassembled for cleaning and comes with a special tool for take down. The outer diameter of the MPA 22 is 1″ and the overall length is 5.62″
A price was not announced, but according to the Masterpiece Arms video, the price “…is very nice.” MPA states they are able to keep costs down because they do all of the manufacturing and assembly in-house; nothing gets outsourced.
Quicksilver Manufacturing is on schedule to deliver their new titanium alloy .22 suppressor later this summer. The new silencer will be six inches long, one inch in diameter, and weigh a mere 5.6 ounces. Performance? Approximately 25 dB.
The new suppressor will feature a one piece baffle stack, which will be removable for easy cleaning. Quicksilver states their normal centerfire silencers rarely need cleaning, but with the dirtier firing .22, the baffles should be cleaned about every 500 rounds.
The new suppressor should be in dealer hands by the end of summer. MSRP has not yet been set.
