Testamonials

I am most interested in suppressors for law enforcement and military applications and, hence, want ones that offer good sound suppression, ease of maintenance, and durability. Those from Elite Iron fulfill all of those requirements.


The two Elite Iron suppressors I evaluated were both .22 rimfire integral suppressors: one for the Ruger 77/22 and one for the Ruger Mk III Target. The tactical applications for these suppressed weapons would primarily be for knocking out lights during a stealth approach, though they can also be used to knockout surveillance or intrusion detection systems as well. I found accuracy with both weapons excellent as was reliability. Sound suppression was excellent, with the Mk III, the operational sound of the bolt cycling was more apparent than the sound of the bullet, especially when subsonic ammunition was used. The 77/22 was accurate to at least 100 meters (the longest distance at which I shot it) and offered excellent sound suppression. Since suppressed weapons for tactical usage are often carried as an adjunct to primary weapons, the fact that the integrally suppressed Elite Iron Rugers remain light and handy is very important. Overall, I am very impressed with the suppressors from Elite Iron that I have tried.
