About This Suppressor
The Bowers Group Bitty .22 is a 2.8-inch rimfire suppressor for .22 rifles and pistols. It has an MSRP of $390. At 2.6 ounces it is the lightest rimfire can on this list, built from stainless steel and aluminium.
It is sold with a direct-thread 1/2x28 mount, so a host already threaded that way needs nothing else, and any other muzzle thread needs an adapter. Bowers sets no barrel-length restriction on it, so a short pistol barrel is inside the rating. The build is stainless steel over aluminium, and at 1 inch across it ties the Banish RF 22 Ti for the narrowest body among the rimfire cans on this list.
If you're cross-shopping, the SilencerCo Switchback 22 reaches 2.80 inches as well, but only in its short configuration, and it has an MSRP of $579 with a 1.07-inch body. The Silencer Central Banish RF 22 Ti is all titanium at 4.1 ounces and 5.375 inches long with an MSRP of $629. Both of those cost more than the Bitty, and neither is shorter.
Strengths & Limitations
Pros
- Short and light enough that a threaded .22 pistol stays close to its original balance.
- The 1/2x28 mount is included, so a standard threaded .22 barrel needs no extra parts.
Cons
- Fixed length, so there is no longer configuration to fall back on.
- One mount pattern, so each host with a different thread wants its own adapter.
Where to Buy
Online dealers ship to a licensed dealer (FFL) near you, where you fill out the background-check form. Some still process a Form 4 by default; ask if you want it registered.
