Wilson Combat has introduced the Silent Bandit Suppressor. The Silent Bandit Suppressor promises to be "All Bite, No Bark," delivering suppressed performance in a sleek, lightweight design. It cuts 31 dB of noise on average using a gas-management system that controls flow and lowers back pressure.

The Silent Bandit gets its name from Bill Wilson's dog Bandit—a model of toughness, reliability, and readiness. The company has striven to capture that spirit to create a dependable companion.

Silent Bandit and Attachments

At its heart is a titanium baffle stack available in two configurations. The five-baffle option features a 5.76-inch stack at 12.1 ounces, while the six-baffle version offers a 6.41-inch stack at 13.3 ounces. Its refined 1 ¾-inch profile fits seamlessly with your firearm, without adding unnecessary weight.

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 TPI UN-2A thread, while the end cap fastens with an 1 3/8-24 OD TPIT 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.

The hub mount is compatible with other various firearm systems, allowing for fast disassembly and flexible configuration. Additionally, the hub mount’s integration with the company's Quell K-Mount Interface ensures compatibility if you already have a Quell suppressor.

For enhanced durability in demanding conditions, 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.

Silent Bandit lifestyle

The Silent Bandit is a welcome addition to the lineup not just for hunters in general, but for fans of the Wilson Combat New Ultralight Rifle, who are looking to suppress their favorite backcountry rifle with Wilson Combat hardware.
