60th Day of Silence: Why Every .22LR Shooter Needs a Suppressor – BANISH 22

60th Day of Silence: Why Every .22LR Shooter Needs a Suppressor – BANISH 22

Day 60 of Silencer Central’s 100 Days of Silence — win the BANISH 22 suppressor (MSRP $629). Today on the 60th Day of Silence at just 4.1 ounces of titanium, it’s one of the lightest and quietest rimfire suppressors you can own — making backyard shooting, small game hunting, and training dramatically more enjoyable. Entry for The 60th Day of Silence opens at 10:00 AM CT and closes at 10:00 PM CT on June 15, 2026, for U.S. residents 21 and older outside restricted states. All giveaways require a separate entry.

If you shoot .22LR regularly, you already know how addictive it is. The low recoil, cheap ammo, and versatility make it the most popular caliber in America. But there’s one upgrade that completely transforms the experience: a suppressor.
Today, on the 60th Day of Silence, we’re giving away one of the best rimfire suppressors available, the BANISH 22 from Silencer Central. This ultra-light titanium can is the perfect prize for anyone who loves .22LR plinking, small game hunting, pest control, or just wants to shoot more without disturbing the neighbors. Here’s why every .22LR shooter should seriously consider adding a suppressor, and why the BANISH 22 stands out as one of the best rimfire choices.

The Problem with Unsuppressed .22LR Shooting

1. Hearing Protection & Comfort
The biggest benefit is obvious: dramatically reduced noise. With subsonic ammo, a quality rimfire suppressor like the BANISH 22 can drop the report to levels where you can often shoot comfortably with just electronic earmuffs or even without them in some cases (always follow local laws and best practices). This makes long range sessions or backyard plinking far more enjoyable and safer for your hearing.
2. More Fun, Longer Sessions
When the gun is quieter, you shoot more. Simple as that. The reduced recoil and muzzle blast mean faster follow-up shots, less flinching, and a much more pleasant experience — especially for new shooters or kids learning the sport.
3. Neighbor-Friendly Backyard Shooting
Many people with a little land or a safe backyard setup can now enjoy .22LR without worrying about disturbing others. The BANISH 22 makes suppressed .22LR shooting surprisingly discreet.
4. Small Game Hunting & Pest Control
For hunting squirrels, rabbits, or controlling pests, a suppressor is almost mandatory in many situations. It lets you take ethical shots without spooking other animals and keeps the report from carrying across fields or into neighboring properties.
5. Better Training Tool
Whether you’re teaching new shooters or running drills yourself, a suppressed .22LR is an incredible training platform. The reduced noise and recoil let you focus on fundamentals instead of bracing for a loud report.

Why the BANISH 22 Is the Perfect Rimfire Suppressor

The BANISH 22 was built specifically for this use case. Here’s what makes it special:

  • Ultra-Light Titanium Construction — Only 4.1 ounces and 5.375 inches long. You’ll barely notice it’s on the end of your rifle or pistol.
  • 8-Baffle Design — Delivers excellent sound suppression, especially with subsonic ammo.
  • User-Serviceable — Comes apart easily for cleaning (includes the tool). This is a huge advantage for rimfire cans that get dirty fast.
  • Multi-Caliber Rated — Works great on .22LR, .17 HMR, .22 Hornet, and even 5.7x28mm. Full-auto rated too.
  • Direct Thread (1/2×28) — Simple, reliable, and lightweight mounting.
  • Lifetime Warranty — Backed by Silencer Central.
Because it’s made entirely of titanium and only weighs 4.1 oz, the BANISH 22 is one of the lightest high-performance rimfire suppressors on the market. It won’t throw off the balance of your Ruger 10/22, Mark IV, or any other host.
