Description
I was at the range with a buddy and his new .22 pistol, and the sharp crack of each round was starting to draw looks. He handed me a small, black tube. “Try this,” he said. After a few mags of whisper-quiet plinking, I was sold. That tube was the Texas Silencer Company Scoundrel .22 Rimfire Silencer, 5.2″ Length, 1/2×28, Black, and it turned a fun day into a stealthy one. Here’s what I learned after putting a few hundred rounds of my own through it.
The Texas Silencer Company Scoundrel .22 Rimfire Silencer, 5.2″ Length, 1/2×28, Black is a lightweight, user-serviceable rimfire suppressor designed for straightforward performance. It’s built from durable 7075-T6 aluminum and 17-4 stainless steel, offering a great balance of sound reduction and handling on .22 LR hosts. At 5.2 inches long and weighing just 3.8 ounces, it adds minimal bulk. The best part? It’s drop-in ready for any host with a standard 1/2×28 thread pitch.
Let’s talk about what makes this can work. The core of the Scoundrel is its simple, effective baffle stack. I’ve found that with standard velocity .22 LR ammo, the sound signature drops to a satisfying mechanical click—the loudest noise is often the bolt cycling or the impact on the backstop. The aluminum construction keeps weight down, which is crucial on the end of a pistol barrel. That said, the first baffle and end cap are stainless steel to handle the initial blast and potential strikes, a smart design choice for longevity.
Maintenance is where rimfire cans earn their keep, and the Scoundrel shines. The entire core unscrews easily for a thorough cleaning. After a session, I drop the baffles in my ultrasonic cleaner, give them a scrub, and they’re good to go. This user-serviceable design means you’re not sending it off to a manufacturer every 500 rounds; you handle it yourself, which saves time and money in the long run. The price point of $375.06 makes this an accessible entry into the NFA world without sacrificing quality.
Compatibility is broad thanks to that common 1/2×28 thread. I’ve run it on a Ruger Mark IV pistol and a 10/22 Takedown rifle with fantastic results. It also mates perfectly with popular .22 AR platforms and other common rimfire hosts. The fit is precise and secure—no wobble or alignment issues out of the box. This suppressor is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, following all necessary NFA procedures.
| Caliber | .22 LR / .22 WMR / .17 HMR |
| Length | 5.2 inches |
| Diameter | 1 inch |
| Weight | 3.8 ounces |
| Material | 7075-T6 Aluminum / 17-4 Stainless Steel |

What I like: The weight and balance are excellent, especially on pistols. The tool-less disassembly is a huge plus for a rimfire can that will see heavy use. Sound performance is solid for its size and price. The construction feels robust without being overbuilt.
What to consider: Like all aluminum .22 cans, it requires more diligent cleaning to prevent carbon lock. The 5.2-inch length is a great middle ground, but if maximum sound reduction is your only goal, a longer, heavier model might be preferable. Remember, an NFA tax stamp and compliance are required.
So who is this for? Look, if you’re a new suppressor buyer looking for a first can to learn the NFA process with, the Scoundrel is a fantastic choice. It’s also perfect for the seasoned shooter who wants a dedicated, easy-to-maintain can for a .22 plinker or small game rifle. It’s a workhorse, not a showpiece, built for regular use without fuss.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this suppressor rated for full-auto .22 LR?
A: No, the Texas Silencer Company Scoundrel is rated for standard semi-automatic, bolt-action, lever-action, and single-shot .22 LR firearms. It is not designed or rated for full-auto fire.
Q: Can I use it on a .223/5.56 rifle?
A: Absolutely not. This is a rimfire-only suppressor designed for calibers like .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR. Using it on a centerfire rifle like .223 would be extremely dangerous and would destroy the suppressor.

A: All NFA purchases, including suppressors, require filing a Form 4 with the ATF, paying a $200 tax stamp, and passing a background check.
