The other type of suppressor is the integral suppressor, which is built around the barrel of a firearm. When using a integral type suppressor the barrel is modified for velocity control. With today's technology, muzzle suppressors are comparable to integral suppressor efficiency. The prime advantage to the integral type suppressor is velocity control of marginally supersonic projectiles, such as the .22 rimfire or conventional 9mm ammunition. The main advantage of the muzzle suppressor is that it can be moved from weapon to weapon and does not require dedicating the firearm to the suppressor.
All sound suppressors require some degree of maintenance if maximum efficiency is to be maintained.
Suppressors designed to be disassembled for maintenance are supplied with necessary specialized tools. All suppressors sold here come with detailed instructions providing complete operation and maintenance instructions. Suppressor Tube Diameter 1.0 in. O.A. Length 12.0 in. Diameter 2.0 in.
