Like a BB Gun?
I am an avid proponent of equipping every firearm in my possession with a suppressor.
In my ideal setup, each gun features a threaded barrel and a suppressor permanently affixed.
A sound suppressor protects your hearing and reduces noise pollution. In this article, the author tests the Jessie’s Girl rimfire suppressor with Springfield’s Model 2002 Rimfire Target .22 LR.
For my Springfield Armory Model 2020 rimfire, the Jessies Girl is my chosen can.
But first, lets delve into the process of acquiring a suppressor.
Buying
I suggest you start by researching and reading reviews to decide on the suppressor you want.
The Jessies Girl rimfire suppressor attaches easily to the factory-threaded Model 2020 barrel. It doesn’t add much weight or length to the overall shooting package.
Consulting friends who own suppressors can also be beneficial.
Opting for the cheapest option may not be the wisest choice.
When embarking on the suppressor-purchasing journey, locate a gun shop that sells them and check their specific requirements.
As part of his testing, the author got baseline measurements without the suppressor attached to the rifle.
Some stores may take fingerprints on-site, while others might send you to get them done beforehand.
Gather all necessary information for your location before heading to the shop.
Many people commonly believe that suppressors are illegal.
The author followed baseline testing with performance measurements of the suppressor when attached to the Springfield Armory rifle.
Obtaining a suppressor primarily involves paperwork and a $200 tax stamp.

A frequently asked question is whether one can purchase a suppressor online.
The author found the Jesse’s Girl suppressor did a very good job at suppressing gunshot noise while not shifting point of impact.
Generally, the answer is yes, provided its from a reputable company.
The dealer then holds onto the suppressor until ATF approval and the issuance of the tax stamp.
Specifications
Now, lets explore the specifications of the Jessies Girl.
It boasts a length of 5.38, a mere 6 ounces in weight, and a diameter of 1.06.
The suppressor features stainless steel baffles and a titanium body, with an aluminum end cap.
For those unfamiliar with suppressors, its essential to note that they do not necessarily sacrifice speed for quietness.
Variations in our test results are attributed to the affordable Remington 22 ammunition used.
Extra Protection
Beyond the technical aspects, a suppressor serves multiple purposes.
It reduces the sound signature, providing an extra layer of hearing protection for the shooter and others nearby.
This is particularly valuable when introducing younger individuals to the sport.
Witnessing their reactions as they realize how subdued the sound is compared to their expectations brings me joy.
Conclusion
There are a lot of different suppressors on the market.
Similar to adding a scope or bipod, they enhance the shooting experience without sacrificing safety.
