Silencerco Sparrow Review 2020 - Twelve Years Later, is this .22 Silencer Still Good?

For education and entertainment, we present our 2020 Silencerco Sparrow Review... For the full review, head over to SHWAT.com.

It’s been twelve years since the first Silencerco Sparrow reviews accompanied the launch of this .22LR suppressor. Not coincidentally, the Sparrow is the first can Silencerco launched. Countless .22 silencers have been launched since the Sparrow, yet it remains in production today (even though Silencerco themselves now have two other .22 cans!). So where does that put the Sparrow today?

The Silencerco Sparrow in reality is a multi-caliber can. No shocker there, of course. The big headline might be that it's rated for full auto .22LR use. Can you imagine? I mean, .22LR is so much fun to shoot! I'd love to shoot some melons with full auto, wouldn't you? Well, I don't have a .22 full auto to play with, so we'll take Silencerco's word that it works as advertised.

In my opinion, it's really hard to beat the sheer fun of shooting suppressed subsonic .22LR. I don't pretend to have a $20k sound meter and don't trust iPhone apps to emulate that very well, so we'll just leave it at "stupid quiet" as the noise rating for subsonic .22 ammo with the Sparrow.

Where do you think the Sparrow ranks in 2020? Let us know in the comments!
