[QUOTE="MAJ MALFUNCTION, post: 1438366, member: 1519"] [B][SIZE="4"]That's right, SUREFIRE is branching out it's suppressor line (beyond rifle cans) AND THEY CAME TO PLAY!!!![/SIZE][/B] They will offer two models that will look virtually identical on the exterior, the only major difference being what they're made out of. The 22-A will be an aluminum can (with a titanium aft-cap, to protect the integrity of the threads). The 22-S will be stainless steel. I got to handle and shoot the pre-production "prototypes" at SUREFIRE's range a few days ago and the cans are IMPRESSIVE!! [B][U][SIZE="4"]Here are some highlights that apply to both models:[/SIZE][/U][/B] -Both are user serviceable and will include "take down" tools and a "pusher" rod -Both use SUREFIRE's new, proprietary "pig nose" baffle. The baffles have slots on each end that allow them to slide together and form a single stack that you drop into the tube (the tube does not have threaded ends).
