Dead Air's Rimfire Game Gets Real: Meet the RXD22Ti
The rimfire suppressor market just got more interesting as Dead Air and Ruger unveiled their latest collaboration: the RXD22Ti. This $499 titanium can marks Dead Air's first major rimfire update since the Mask HD that helped put them on the map years ago.
What sets the RXD22Ti apart is its construction. Instead of traditional stacked baffles, Dead Air opted for a single-piece 3D-printed Triskelion core with PVD coating housed inside a titanium tube. This approach tackles the first-round pop issue that plagues many rimfire cans while keeping weight down.
Here's what you need to know about the RXD22Ti:
- Caliber Rating: .22LR, .22 Magnum, .17HMR, .17WSM, 5.7x28mm
- Energy Rating: 850 FPS
- Length: 5.6 inches
- Materials: 6AL4V Titanium
- Finish Options: Black or Burnt Bronze Cerakote
- MSRP: $499
- Barrel Restrictions: None
- Full Auto Rating: .22LR (full-auto), .17HMR, .22WSM (semi-auto)
- Part Numbers: RXD22TiBLK, RXD22TiBB
Perhaps the most practical feature is the included XRF muzzle brake. Unlike standard thread protectors, this brake is designed to capture lead before it enters the suppressor—anyone who's spent hours scrubbing a rimfire can knows this is a genuine quality-of-life improvement.
The RXD22Ti works with any barrel length, from stubby pistols to precision rifles. Each package includes both the XRF muzzle brake (RXD674) and a dedicated wrench kit (DAT001PACK), so you're ready to go right out of the box.
This release follows the RXD30Ti centerfire model and signals the ongoing partnership between these two American manufacturers. Both companies stress that the RXD line represents fresh engineering rather than rebadged existing products.
At $499, the RXD22Ti sits at the premium end of the rimfire suppressor spectrum, competing with other titanium options while offering some genuinely useful features. Whether the performance justifies the price tag remains to be seen, but the lead-capturing brake alone might win over shooters tired of disassembling and scrubbing their rimfire cans after every outing.

I just hope Ruger doesn’t discontinue the Silent-SR because of this. That is a very overlooked suppressor
