5 New Affordable DefCan Suppressors From CMMG

It is a buyer’s market right now for sound suppressors. There are dozens of companies making quality models these days, and more are getting into the game. I’m talking manufacturers like Daniel Defense and even CZ-USA.

This kind of competition drives prices downward while makers seek new, innovative solutions to help themselves stand out in the marketplace. That’s why we’re starting to see suppressors made with the help of computer modeling programs that can simulate gases expended from firing a round, for example, as well as 3D-printed designs and more. Well, we need to add another new manufacturer to the list: CMMG.

Missouri-based CMMG has been around since 2002 and is known for its complete AR-platform rifles and pistols, parts and conversion kits. If you need a new AR or something to upgrade your old one, CMMG is a great place to start. And now the company is offering a complete line of DefCan suppressors to take your favorite AR to the next level.

Entering The Arena

As you already know, suppressors reduce the sound signature of a firearm to help prevent hearing damage. On top of that, if you’re a hunter, you’re less likely to spook game while saving your hearing with a suppressor-equipped rifle. And your neighbors will appreciate you a lot more if you invest in a silencer for backyard plinking time.

Of course, sound suppressors have to be able to do several things at once. They have to reduce a firearm’s report while also being relatively lightweight and durable. Nobody wants to add an anvil to the front of their weapon. And if you can get a suppressor that is affordable to boot, even better. This is where CMMG comes in.

According to the CEO of CMMG, Chris Reinkemeyer, “The DefCan line is an exciting new step for CMMG. Combined with our new line of Banshee SBRs, DefCan suppressors will give us a strong presence in the NFA market. Additionally, the DefCan suppressor line complements our current firearm product lineup very well and will be an integral part of our plans going forward.”

A few different suppressors are available right now, and most can be had as either direct-thread or quick-detach models. You can pick them up from the Silencer Shop, and they’re backed by CMMG’s “Lifetime Guarantee,” meaning the company will repair, replace or substitute parts as needed if a problem arises. Let’s take a closer look, and for more information, visit cmmginc.com.

DefCan 22

Our last model in the line is the direct-thread DefCan 22, which is designed for rimfire weapons. Rimfire suppressors can make for some extremely fun range time, especially if you’re teaching someone to shoot for the first time. The DefCan 22 helps by reducing the already-quiet .22 LR by 40 decibels, and the can weighs just 2.7 ounces! Its compact design will add very little to the host weapon’s overall length, and it can be used with .22 Short, .22 Long, .22 LR, .22 WMR, .17 HM2 and .17 HMR ammo. However, this model is not full-auto rated.
