Once thought to be the exclusive domain of dapper secret agents, pistol caliber suppressors exist in between the world of the lightweight rimfire can and the heavyweight rifle-rated suppressor. Useful on the range, in the field or on a home defense pistol, they make shooting your pistol of choice just a little bit easier. Here’s what new out there in the world of pistol caliber suppressors for 2024.
