The BANISH 22 Suppressor: Lightweight Titanium Performance for Rimfire Shooting
The BANISH 22 Suppressor: Lightweight Titanium Performance for Rimfire ShootingThe BANISH 22 from BANISH Suppressors is a premium, ultra-compact rimfire suppressor designed to deliver exceptional sound suppression in a package so light and unobtrusive that you’ll barely notice it on your firearm that is until you hear (or don’t hear) the shot. Engineered specifically for .22 caliber and smaller firearms, it’s the quietest rimfire suppressor in the Banish lineup and an outstanding choice for shooters who want maximum enjoyment with minimal maintenance.
What Is the Banish 22 Suppressor?
The Banish 22 is a direct-thread, user-serviceable titanium suppressor built for rimfire pistols and rifles chambered in .22 LR and smaller calibers. It also handles .17 HMR, .22 Hornet, .22 WMR, .17 WSM, and even the centerfire 5.7×28 cartridge. With its 1/2×28 threading, it mounts effortlessly onto standard rimfire barrels and is fully rated for full-auto fire on .22 LR platforms.At just 5.375 inches long, 1 inch in diameter, and a feather-light 4.1 ounces, the Banish 22 is one of the smallest and lightest dedicated rimfire suppressors available. Its Gun Kote finish is available in Black, Tan, Burnt Bronze, or Tungsten, giving it a sleek, professional look that matches a wide range of firearms.
How the Banish 22 Is Built
The Banish 22 features 100% titanium construction including both the outer tube and the internal baffles, delivering an ideal balance of extreme durability and minimal weight. Inside the lightweight titanium alloy tube sit eight STIFLE™ baffles. These baffles are precision-machined with a unique Link Together Connection™ design that allows them to index and lock together securely.This innovative system serves two critical purposes:
- It prevents lead debris and carbon fouling from fusing the baffles together or migrating into the outer tube.
- It makes the suppressor fully user-serviceable (one of the easiest on the market).
Thanks to CAN-CLEAN™ technology, owners can quickly remove the front end cap (no special tools required) and slide the entire baffle stack out for cleaning in an ultrasonic cleaner, tumbler, or by hand. Indexing lines on the baffles ensure perfect realignment every time you reassemble. The baffles also incorporate specially angled ports that create turbulence in the escaping gases, further enhancing sound reduction.The result is a suppressor that stays cleaner longer, maintains peak performance over thousands of rounds, and can be field-stripped and serviced in minutes.
What the Banish 22 Is Built For and Its Capabilities
The Banish 22 was purpose-built for shooters who spend serious time on the range or in the field with rimfire firearms. Whether you’re plinking with a Ruger 10/22, hunting small game and varmints with a .17 HMR or .22 Hornet, training new shooters on a pistol like the Ruger Mark IV, or running full-auto .22 LR platforms, this suppressor excels. Its primary mission is to deliver “Hollywood quiet” performance (subsonic ammo) without compromising reliability or adding noticeable weight or length. Independent testing shows it reduces .22 LR report to approximately 116–120 dBat the muzzle (depending on host firearm and ammunition), making it hearing-safe for extended sessions and dramatically quieter than an unsuppressed .22. With subsonic ammunition, it becomes comically quiet. With subsonic ammo the loudest sound is often the bolt cycling or the bullet striking the target. It also noticeably tames recoil, improving follow-up shots and overall shooting comfort. Because it’s so compact and lightweight, the Banish 22 has virtually zero impact on a firearm’s balance or handling making it perfect for pistols and lightweight rifles. Its multi-caliber capability gives owners flexibility across a wide range of small-bore platforms, while the lifetime warranty and full-auto rating provide long-term peace of mind.Key Specifications:

Frequently asked questions
What is the BANISH 22?
The BANISH 22 is a multi-caliber rimfire titanium suppressor rated for .22 LR, .22 WMR, .17 HMR, and 5.7×28. It disassembles for cleaning, weighs 4.1 ounces, and measures 5.375 inches long.
What calibers does the BANISH 22 cover?
The BANISH 22 covers .22 LR, .22 Magnum (.22 WMR), .17 HMR, and 5.7×28. One Form 4 registration covers your entire rimfire and 5.7 collection.
Is the BANISH 22 user-serviceable?
Yes. The BANISH 22 disassembles for cleaning so you can scrub lead, carbon, and unburned powder out of the baffle stack. That’s essential for rimfire cans, which see heavy buildup compared to centerfire suppressors.
How quiet is the BANISH 22 on .22 LR?
On standard subsonic .22 LR, the BANISH 22 delivers 39 dB of sound reduction per BANISH’s published metering, putting most hosts into the high 110s dB at the ear. That is hearing-safe and quiet enough for backyard plinking where legal.
What thread pitch does the BANISH 22 use?
The BANISH 22 uses a standard 1/2″-28 direct-thread mount, which is the dominant rimfire muzzle thread on Ruger 10/22, Ruger Mark IV, S&W Victory, CZ 457, and FN Five-seveN platforms.
What does the BANISH 22 cost?
MSRP on the BANISH 22 is $499. The $200 federal NFA tax stamp was eliminated January 1, 2026, so the only out-the-door cost is the suppressor itself plus any dealer fees.
Do I still need to register a rimfire suppressor?
Yes. Federal Form 4 registration with ATF still applies before you take possession of any suppressor, including rimfire suppressors. Congress eliminated the $200 federal tax stamp on January 1, 2026, but the Form 4 process remains in place.
Who can enter The 14th Afternoon of Silence?
U.S. residents 21 years of age or older may enter, except residents of CA, DE, HI, IL, MA, NJ, NY, RI, FL, and DC. All giveaways require a separate entry. Void where prohibited by law.
When does The 14th Afternoon of Silence close?
The entry window opens at 6:00 AM CT on April 30, 2026 and closes at 11:00 PM CT the same day. Winners are posted to the Winners Page and emailed the following day.
How are winners notified?
Winners are posted to the Winners Page on PopularSuppressors.com and emailed the following day. Winners must return a signed affidavit by physical mail to Brand Avalanche Media, Inc., 4343 16th St #161, Moline, IL 61265.
Is the BANISH 22 a good first suppressor?
Yes. Most instructors recommend a rimfire suppressor on a .22 LR host as the best first suppressor experience: low recoil, low cost per shot, low blast, and a host firearm that teaches easily. The BANISH 22 covers four rimfire-class cartridges on one Form 4.
How often does the BANISH 22 need cleaning?
Service intervals depend on volume and ammunition. Heavy backyard plinking or 5.7×28 use calls for more frequent disassembly and cleaning than light hunting use. The user-serviceable design means cleaning is simple and brings the can back to factory performance.
