Maxim Defense has upgraded their suppressor line along with their ammunition line to include a .22lr suppressor and frangible ammo in 5.56mm and 9mm. This is a natural progression of their product line that already includes suppressors and other ammunition offerings.
Maxim Defense DRF:22 Suppressor
The Maxim Defense DRF suppressor is specifically designed to minimize the increase in cyclic rate and gas blowback of a suppressed weapon system. Primary design features include the significant reduction of sound signature, decreasing flash signature, reduction of recoil, and increasing accuracy.
The DRF:22 Suppressor sports the state-of-the-art MonoKore design that Maxim uses in their other suppressors, complete with the carbon-cutting tube cleaners in the design. The suppressor is a three-piece assembly made of military-grade materials and construction that can be disassembled using common tools.
Light-weight and ideal for pistols, the DRF:22 suppressor is rated for .22LR, .22MAG, and .17HMR loads. It adds only 5.4” to the end of the host weapon, all under 4 ounces. Maxim states that the DRF has no detectable first-round pop and drops sound levels to well below hearing safe levels with a specific reduction based on caliber, host weapon, and weather conditions. Maxim’s average measurement per MILSTD-1474D of 114 dB average with Gemtech subsonic ammunition and 123dB with CCI Minimag ammunition.
According to Maxim, the DRF:22 suppressor decreases flash and recoil and increases accuracy. The suppressor has an MSRP of $439.95.
