Wilson Combat Silent Bandit Suppressor

Wilson Combat is best known for its high-end handguns, but 2025 brings a big surprise from the company. Big news doesn't equal big noise, though: It's a suppressor, dubbed the Silent Bandit. The Silent Bandit gets its name from Bill Wilson's dog Bandit, whom we can confirm is a very, very good boy. Billed as a model of toughness, reliability, and readiness, the Silent Bandit promises to be a dependable companion you can count on every time you pull the trigger.

The slogan is "All Bite, No Bark," offering a reduction of 31 dB of noise on average, via an efficient gas management system that controls flow and lowers back pressure. At its heart is a titanium baffle stack available in two configurations: The 5-baffle option features a 5.76" stack at 12.1 oz., while the 6-baffle version offers a 6.41" stack at 13.3 oz. Its refined 1¾" profile fits seamlessly with your firearm without adding unnecessary weight.

Silent Bandit is coated with a high-temperature resistant variant of our ARMOR-TUFF® Protective Finish – a non-reflective tactical surface providing advanced corrosion protection and abrasion resistance. 
The hub mount and end cap are constructed from rugged H13 steel with a sleek black nitride finish. The hub mount attaches via a 1-3/8-24 UN-2A thread, while the end cap fastens with an 1-3/8-24 OD thread – both designed for easy attachment and removal for cleaning and maintenance. The Silent Bandit is available in four popular chamberings: 5.56mm, 6.8mm, 7.62mm, and 9mm. $1,119.95-$1,199.95; WilsonCombat.com
