The CZ Rimfire silencer, paired with the Kel-Tec P17.

The CZ Rimfire silencer weighs in at 2.5 ounces, is 6.9 inches long, and 0.866 inches in diameter.

This can utilizes the same technology as the CZ Rimfire Integrally Suppressed Barrel as reviewed here. The baffles thread into the body instead of slipping in. This allows for a bit more internal volume in the can, adding to suppression levels, and allows for more reliable disassembly. The baffles have teeth similar to dies that allow them to cut the fouling out of the way as they are removed with the supplied tool. If you are a bit negligent in cleaning your silencers this is will keep you from having your baffles freeze up inside the body.

While it is one of the smaller rimfire silencers I have reviewed, it is one of the quietest, measuring 68.5 to your ear. This is not peak sound but the measurement of sound you hear from subsonic .22 Long Rifle approximately six feet from the muzzle of a Ruger MK IV 22/45.

As expected, the Cz Rimfire Silencer did not affect the accuracy or reliability of any of the four hosts we used, Ruger MK IV 22/45, Kel-Tec P17, Kel-Tec PMR 30, and Kel-Tec CMR 30.

By Hunter Elliott

I spent much of my youth involved with firearms and felt the call early on to the United States Marine Corps, following in my father's and his brother's footsteps. Just after high school I enlisted and felt most at home on the rifle range, where I qualified expert with several firearms and spent some time as a rifle coach to my fellow Marines. After being honorably discharged I continued teaching firearm safety, rifle and pistol marksmanship, and began teaching metallic cartridge reloading. In the late 1990s I became a life member to the National Rifle Association and worked with the Friends of the NRA. Around that time my father and I became involved with IDPA and competed together up until he passed away. I began reviewing firearms for publications in the mid 2000s and have been fortunate to make many friends in the industry. Continuing to improve my firearms skills and knowledge is a never ending journey in which we should all be committed. I am also credited as weapons master on a few independent films.
