Pushing both rimefire rounds and a selection of centerfire rounds, the new Griffin Armament Optimus Micro is one of the most diverse silencers on the market. Light enough to perform on the end of a .22lr rifle and stout enough to withstand 5.56mm punishment, the Micro is made of 100% stainless steel and weighs in at just 8.5 ounces.

Why have a rimfire silencer that can withstand some limited high pressure round use? First, not everyone is an NFA addict like myself – many consumers are out for versatility. Second, whether you are packing up for a range day, a hunt or a camping trip, one silencer that can handle multiple hosts could be just the ticket. Lastly, for a 5.56mm silencer, it is short, light and unobtrusive.

As silencers go, the Optimus Micro is pretty sexy. Details and specifics can be found below.
