Last week, I attended GunCon. In industrial events, it stands out as the best. I have a close relationship with TGC’s John Patton and Cody Hinton, who host and organize the event, but this is an objective opinion: If you’re a firearms enthusiast, you really should be there. People travel far and wide to attend. Whether you’re there to see your favorite brand, discover a new one, attend a panel, or meet your favorite Gunfluencers, GunCon is the right place for you. One of the common themes at GunCon was oppressors. They were everywhere. Of course, this makes sense with $0 tax stamps. Everyone is making them. But that doesn’t make them all good. what i really dug was unconventional repression divisionA new look at the rimfire can.
A different approach to rimfire suppression
Anyone who’s spent time behind a rimfire suppressor knows that quiet shooting comes with a trade-off: cleanup. Carbon, lead and powder residue accumulate inside .22 suppressors, often turning routine maintenance into a frustrating battle against seized baffles and rust – the joy of rimfire suppressors. The new split suppressor was designed to solve the problem that Unorthodox describes as the first patented horizontally splitting suppressor.
Rather than forcing owners to contend with stubborn internal components after thousands of rounds, the design makes disassembly and cleaning as simple as possible. The concept is simple – spend less time scraping fouling and more time shooting.
Designed for easy maintenance
The Split combines that maintenance-friendly design with lightweight construction and modern manufacturing techniques. Constructed from Grade 23 titanium with a stainless 17-4 adapter, the suppressor weighs just 3.5 ounces and measures 4 inches in length and 1.125 inches in width. It is rated for the .22 rimfire cartridge and uses the standard 1/2×28 direct-thread mounting system.
The manufacturing uses 3D additive printing, which enables complex internal geometries while keeping overall weight to a minimum. According to the company, the suppressor was engineered to be easy to assemble and disassemble and to reduce sound without compromising accuracy. After trying it myself. I agree 100%. This is one of the most well thought out rimfire cans available. The design has no barrel-length restrictions, giving shooters flexibility in a wide range of rimfire rifles and pistols.
zoom out
For shooters tired of fighting carbon-lock baffles and difficult cleanouts, the Split aims to make suppressor maintenance one less item on the ever-growing honey-do list. These suppressors were just released, and pre-orders are live. It’s $550, which puts it on the higher end of the spectrum of rimfire cans. But after shooting it (with the FN502 as host), I was impressed.
