Rugged Suppressors has introduced the Mustang22, a new rimfire suppressor designed to be the lightest model in the company’s lineup. Built specifically for .22LR firearms, the suppressor focuses on delivering strong sound reduction while maintaining an ultra-lightweight and compact design.
The addition of the Mustang22 reflects the company’s continued push to develop innovative suppressor technology for rimfire shooters. By emphasizing portability and performance, Rugged Suppressors aims to provide firearm owners with a suppressor that enhances both convenience and shooting comfort.
The Mustang22 was engineered to be one of the lightest suppressors available for .22LR platforms. It features a slim profile that pairs well with both rimfire pistols and rifles, making it a versatile option for shooters who want a suppressor that does not significantly alter the balance of their firearm.
In its short configuration, the suppressor weighs only 2.4 ounces, while the standard configuration comes in at 3.3 ounces. This lightweight design allows shooters to attach the suppressor without adding noticeable front-end weight, which can be especially important when using smaller rimfire pistols.
Because of its compact size and low weight, the Mustang22 is well suited for recreational shooting, range practice, and other situations where maneuverability and comfort are priorities.
Despite its extremely light weight, the Mustang22 is constructed using durable materials designed to withstand repeated use. The suppressor combines Grade 5 titanium with aircraft-grade aluminum, creating a structure that balances strength with reduced mass.
The modular design allows shooters to choose between different configurations depending on their needs. For example, a shorter setup may be preferred for compact pistols or lightweight builds, while the standard configuration provides slightly greater suppression performance.
This flexibility gives shooters more control over how the suppressor fits their firearm and shooting style.
The suppressor’s name draws inspiration from the historic North American P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft. Known for its advanced design and impressive high-altitude performance during World War II, the P-51 Mustang represents speed, innovation, and engineering excellence.
Similarly, the Mustang22 was designed to deliver modern suppressor performance while maintaining a sleek and efficient profile. The name reflects Rugged Suppressors’ goal of combining advanced materials with practical performance.
According to Michael Derdziak, CEO of Rugged Suppressors, the goal behind the Mustang22 project was to develop a rimfire suppressor that balances quiet operation, modularity, and extremely low weight.
The suppressor is designed to minimize the “first round pop,” a phenomenon sometimes experienced when firing the first suppressed shot. By reducing this effect, the Mustang22 helps create a more consistent and quieter shooting experience.
This performance focus makes the suppressor appealing for shooters who want a reliable rimfire suppressor without the bulk of larger models.
The Mustang22 is available in two high-temperature Cerakote finishes:
These coatings help protect the suppressor from heat, wear, and corrosion while also allowing shooters to match the suppressor to their firearm’s appearance.
Henry Graham, president of Rugged Suppressors, emphasized the company’s commitment to long-term durability. Like all Rugged products, the Mustang22 is covered under the company’s Unconditional Lifetime Warranty, which is intended to ensure the suppressor lasts for years of use.
The Mustang22 suppressor carries a suggested retail price of $465 and is currently available through authorized dealers.
With its extremely lightweight construction, modular design, and durable materials, the Mustang22 represents a new option for shooters looking for a compact suppressor specifically built for .22LR firearms.
