SilencerCo Switchback 22

The SilencerCo Switchback 22 is the rimfire can for shooters who want one suppressor to do everything. Its modular design runs from a 2.8-inch short setup that keeps a pistol compact to a 5.75-inch full-length setup that delivers maximum suppression, and the baffles reverse to optimize gas dynamics for either a pistol or a rifle. Weight tracks length, from 3.7 oz short to 6.9 oz full.

Construction is a titanium tube over 17-4 stainless baffles, which keeps the full-length config reasonable at 6.9 oz while leaving the baffle stack tough and easy to clean. It mounts 1/2x28 direct thread and is rated for .22 LR, .22 WMR, .17 HMR, .17 WSM, and 5.7x28, full-auto rated across the board. At full length it is among the quietest rimfire cans available.

The cost of that versatility is complexity and price. At $579 MSRP it is the priciest pick in this group, and there are more parts to keep track of than a fixed monocore like the Sparrow 22. For a shooter who runs both a 10/22 and a Mark IV and wants to tune the can to each, the Switchback's range is worth it.
