Wilson Combat Introduces A New Suppressor: The Silent Bandit

Wilson Combat has introduced the Silent Bandit Suppressor! Designed for effective sound suppression and durability. It reduces noise by 31 dB on average while managing gas flow to minimize back pressure. Made of 100% Grade 5 Titanium, the Silent Bandit is extremely lightweight for its size.

The suppressor is named after Bill Wilson’s dog, Bandit! Why? Because Bandit (the dog) is a model of reliability and readiness.  

Bandit (the suppressor) features a titanium baffle stack available in two configurations:

• 5-baffle: 5.76 inches, 12.1 ounces
• 6-baffle: 6.41 inches, 13.3 ounces

With a 1¾-inch diameter, the Silent Bandit maintains a streamlined profile. The H13 steel hub mount and end cap have a black nitride finish for durability. The suppressor attaches via 1-3/8-24 threads, allowing for easy mounting and maintenance.

It is available in 5.56mm (.223 Cal), 6.8mm (.270 cal), 7.62mm (.30 cal), and 9mm (.358 cal). The QUELL K-Mount Interface ensures compatibility with existing Wilson Combat QUELL suppressors.

For enhanced resistance to heat and wear, the Silent Bandit (suppressor, not dog) is coated with a high-temperature ARMOR-TUFF finish. Bandit (the dog) is coated in fur. 

Wilson Combat’s promise for the Silent Bandit is ‘All Bite, No Bark'. You can test that for yourself at CANCON Arizona! April 10-12, 2025 at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility outside Phoenix, Arizona. Wilson Combat will have all of their suppressors, including the Silent Bandit, on the line for the public to shoot. Tickets to CANCON are on sale now!
