Description
You’re at the range, plinking with your favorite .22 LR rifle or pistol. The repetitive crack is starting to wear, and you’re thinking about taking the edge off the noise without taking the edge off your wallet. That’s the exact scenario where the AWC Odessy 22 LR Silencer, 1/2X28 Threads makes its case. It’s not the flashiest can on the market, and that’s the point. This is a suppressor built for one job: making .22 LR shooting more pleasant and practical, all for a price that lets you keep buying ammo.
The AWC Odessy is a user-serviceable, aluminum-bodied .22 LR suppressor designed for direct thread attachment to rifles and pistols with a common 1/2×28 muzzle thread pattern. Priced at $236.49, it offers a straightforward, budget-friendly path to hearing-safe shooting and reduced noise signature for rimfire enthusiasts.
Let’s talk about what you’re really getting. The Odessy is built with value in mind, using materials that balance cost and performance for the specific demands of .22 LR. Rimfire ammo is inherently dirty, and this suppressor is designed to be taken apart for cleaning—a non-negotiable feature for any .22 can if you want it to last. The aluminum construction keeps the weight down, which is a big plus on the end of a lightweight pistol barrel. It’s a simple, no-frills design that focuses on function over flash.
Here’s the thing—with suppressors, you often pay a premium for brand name, exotic materials, or multi-caliber versatility. The Odessy sidesteps that. It’s a dedicated .22 LR silencer, which means its internal design is optimized for that specific cartridge. You’re not paying for capability you’ll never use. The 1/2×28 thread is the industry standard for .22 LR firearms, so compatibility is broad. This can will fit out of the box on popular platforms like the Ruger 10/22, Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22, and a host of .22 LR pistols from Taurus and Browning, assuming they’re properly threaded.
Weighing in at approximately 4.5 ounces and with a length around 5.5 inches, the Odessy adds minimal bulk. That said, the real value proposition becomes clear when you stack it against other .22 suppressors that can easily creep into the $400+ range. At $236.49, the Odessy sits in a sweet spot. You’re getting a legally manufactured, serialized suppressor that performs the core function effectively, without the premium for ultra-lightweight titanium or a fancy finish. It’s a tool, not a trophy.

Pros: The biggest advantage is the price point—it’s one of the most accessible entry points into NFA ownership. Being user-serviceable is critical for rimfire. Its standard thread pattern and light weight make it highly versatile across .22 LR platforms.
Cons: Aluminum isn’t as durable as stainless steel or titanium, so you need to be diligent about cleaning to prevent corrosion from carbon and lead fouling. It’s a basic design, so don’t expect the absolute minimum decibel reduction compared to some higher-end models.
So who is this for? The AWC Odessy is perfect for the budget-conscious plinker, the small-game hunter looking to be a better neighbor in the field, or the new shooter curious about the NFA process without a four-figure investment. It’s for someone who views a suppressor as a practical accessory—like a good scope or sling—rather than a luxury item.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this suppressor really hearing-safe with .22 LR?
A: With standard velocity or subsonic .22 LR ammunition, the AWC Odessy will reduce the report to a level that is generally considered hearing-safe. Using supersonic ammunition will still produce a sonic crack, but the muzzle blast is significantly reduced.
Q: How difficult is the NFA paperwork process?
A: The process is administrative, not difficult. As your retailer, we guide you through it. You’ll complete a Form 4, submit fingerprints and a photo, and pay a $200 tax. The approval wait time is the longest part, but once approved, your suppressor is transferred to you.
Q: Can I use this on a .22 Magnum or 5.7x28mm firearm?
A: No. The AWC Odessy is specifically rated for .22 Long Rifle only. Using it on a higher-pressure cartridge like .22 WMR or 5.7×28 is unsafe and could cause catastrophic failure. Always use a suppressor within its stated caliber rating.
If you’ve been waiting for a sensible, no-nonsense entry into suppressed shooting, the AWC Odessy presents a compelling argument. It delivers the core benefits of a suppressor—hearing protection, reduced noise pollution, and increased shooting enjoyment—at a price that emphasizes shooting more over spending more.
