Taurus is expanding beyond its established handgun, rifle and PDW lines and into the suppressor market with three additively manufactured titanium models covering rimfire, pistol-caliber carbine and centerfire-rifle use.
Announced September 18, the new TTX Suppressor Series marks Taurus’s first entry into the suppressor business. The lineup includes the TTX22 for rimfire and small-caliber firearms, the TTX9C for fixed-barrel 9mm platforms and the TTX30 for centerfire rifles. Taurus developed each model to complement firearms already in its catalog: the TX22 pistol, RPC carbine and Expedition bolt-action rifle.
All three suppressors use a titanium monocore, Cerakote C-Series finish and direct-thread mounting. Taurus also lists every model as full-auto rated and claims sound reduction of up to 30 decibels.
TTX22 Covers Rimfire Through 5.7×28mm
The Taurus TTX22 carries an MSRP of $299.99 and weighs only 3.71 ounces. It measures 5.5 inches long and one inch in diameter, with a standard 1/2×28 direct-thread attachment.
Taurus lists the TTX22 for .22 LR, .22 WMR, .17 HMR and 5.7×28mm. That gives the can substantially more utility than a .22 LR-only design and makes it an obvious match for the company’s TX22 line. At its listed weight, it should add little bulk to a rimfire pistol or rifle.
This is likely the model with the broadest immediate appeal. Rimfire suppressors are accessible, ammunition is relatively inexpensive and the TX22 already has a large following. Taurus now has a natural suppressor to offer the same customers who already buy its threaded-barrel rimfire pistols.
TTX9C: Built for Fixed-Barrel 9mm Platforms
The TTX9C has an MSRP of $599.99. It is seven inches long, 1.5 inches in diameter and weighs 11.5 ounces. It also uses a 1/2×28 direct-thread mount.
Taurus rates the TTX9C for 9mm, .380 ACP, .32 ACP and .22 LR. The company specifically designed it for pistol-caliber carbines, personal-defense weapons and other fixed-barrel hosts, including the Taurus RPC. Because it is intended to operate without a booster assembly, buyers should not assume it is configured for a conventional tilting-barrel handgun.
For an RPC owner, however, the TTX9C creates a simple factory-aligned combination: direct thread the can onto the carbine and avoid buying a separate muzzle device or mounting system.
TTX30 Covers Blackout Through .300 Win. Mag.
The TTX30 also carries a $599.99 MSRP. It measures 7.5 inches long and 1.75 inches in diameter, weighs 14.31 ounces and attaches by a 5/8×24 direct thread.
Taurus lists compatibility with .300 Blackout, .308 Winchester, 7.62×39mm, 6.5 Creedmoor and .300 Winchester Magnum. That puts the TTX30 in the general-purpose rifle category, with potential applications ranging from .300 Blackout carbines to hunting and precision rifles.
More Competition Is Good for Gun Owners
Taurus says the TTX suppressors were designed around gas-flow management, recoil reduction, thermal control and point-of-impact consistency. Additive manufacturing permits internal geometry that would be difficult to produce with conventional machining, while titanium keeps weight under control.
The remaining questions concern real-world sound performance, back pressure, durability, point-of-impact shift and availability. Those answers will come only after production suppressors reach dealers and independent testers.
Still, Taurus entering the market is good news. Suppressors are common-sense hearing-safety devices that never belonged under the National Firearms Act. More manufacturers, more competition and more affordable options can only help normalize their ownership.
