[SHOT 2025] Inland Manufacturing Introduces AM-22 Suppressor

Inland Manufacturing is back into the suppressor business with a new model that’s aimed at a longer-lasting lifespan. Behold the new AM-22 moderator, made out of aluminum for an updated take on Inland’s earlier PM-22 design.

Polymer no more

The original PM-22 suppressor came out in 2017 as a lightweight option for .22 rimfire rifles, with polymer construction that kept the weight down—and also the price. With monocore construction, the PM-22 came in with a $189.95 MSRP and a weight of only 3.3 ounces!

The new AM-22 is about twice the price ($349.95 suggested MSRP) and weighs a bit more, but it should be a longer-lasting solutions to serious rimfire shooters—or even centerfire shooters, as it is rated for calibers up to 5.7x28mm, as long as chamber pressure does not exceed 49,000 psi.

Like the original PM-22, the AM-22 has monocore construction as you can see in the image below, with the suppressor’s internals removed. However, there seems to be no indication you should shoot it “wet” like the PM-22, which could have its performance increased with dBFoam sprayed in to deaden the sound.

The AM-22 is supposed to be one of the lightest suppressors on the market, at 4.6 ounces, even if it’s heavier than its polymer predecessor. With an overall length of 5.75 inches and a diameter just under one inch, it’s also very compact, and therefore just the sort of silencer you’d like to stick on the end of a .22 rimfire pistol.

The AM-22 has ½ x 28 TPI threads. The aluminum exterior tube is anodized.

And the biggest question of all is: If Inland Manufacturing is making a .22-caliber silencer, and Inland is part of the MKS Supply family, does that mean we might see a .22LR Hi-Point soon? According to staffers hanging around the booth, plans for just such a pistol were actually drawn up years ago, and it never came to market due to management’s concerns about shooters putting inferior quality ammo in the gun (and there is a lot of crummy .22LR ammo on the market, for sure, so not an unfounded fear).
