title: "Ryder 22A: Surefire’s First .22 Suppressor for the Civilian Market"
description: "All of Surefire's previous suppressors were designed for the military and police market, though civilians could own them. This meant top-line products, but at a premium price. The Ryder 22A however was designed specifically for civilian shooters and hunters. It brings the great Surefire design and durability to a product that is affordable for the regular Joe. It weighs only 3.1 ounces and will retail for about $469. If you haven't shot with a suppressor before, the Ryder 22A would make a great first can."

The Ryder 22A however was designed specifically for civilian shooters and hunters. It brings the great Surefire design and durability to a product that is affordable for the regular Joe. It weighs only 3.1 ounces and will retail for about $469.
