Within the suppressor market, one of the most popular segments, for good reason, is that of rimfire suppressors. Not only are rimfire guns popular and used for all manner of shooting sports, they also offer an inexpensive entry point into firearms, and the same holds true for rimfire suppressors. Generally speaking, rimfire suppressors tend to be less-expensive than their centerfire counterparts, providing an entry point in the world of suppressor use for many firearm enthusiasts.
Below are five new rimfire suppressors on the market today.
