Taurus has entered the suppressor business for the first time with the TTX series, a lineup of three additive-manufactured titanium cans built to pair with firearms already in the company's catalog. AmmoLand reported on the new suppressors when the announcement dropped September 18, with Guns.com covering the line the following day, marking Taurus's first move into the accessories segment that has seen explosive growth since the elimination of the $200 NFA tax stamp earlier this year.
additive-manufactured titanium monocore suppressor series
The TTX series consists of three models differentiated by caliber family. The TTX22 handles rimfire and small-caliber applications, measuring 5.5 inches long and one inch in diameter at a weight of 3.71 ounces. It attaches by a standard 1/2x28 direct-thread fitting and is rated for .22 LR, .22 WMR, .17 HMR, and 5.7x28mm. Taurus lists it at $299.99 MSRP, a competitive entry point in a rimfire suppressor market that has seen significant price compression as production volumes have grown.
The TTX9C is aimed at fixed-barrel 9mm platforms, a category anchored in Taurus's own lineup by the RPC carbine. At seven inches and 11.5 ounces, it carries an MSRP of $599 and is rated for 9mm, .380 ACP, .32 ACP, and .22 LR. The fixed-barrel focus is important for buyers who want maximum suppression: fixed-barrel pistols and PCCs eliminate the variable lockup of tilting-barrel designs and allow consistent gas flow into the can, which typically translates to better sound reduction numbers.
The TTX30 rounds out the lineup as the rifle-caliber option, running 7.5 inches long and 1.75 inches in diameter at 14.31 ounces. It threads on with a 5/8x24 fitting, is rated for .300 Blackout, .308 Winchester, 7.62x39mm, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .300 Winchester Magnum, and also carries a $599 MSRP. The .300 Blackout compatibility makes it a natural companion to the growing number of short-barreled ARs and bolt guns in that chambering, particularly now that SBR registration has also been streamlined under recent regulatory changes.
All three suppressors share a common construction approach: additive-manufactured titanium monocore baffles, a Cerakote C-Series finish, and an internal gas-flow geometry that Taurus says cannot be replicated with traditional machining. The company claims up to 30 decibels of sound reduction on each model and rates all three for full-auto fire. The monocore design simplifies cleaning relative to user-serviceable stacked-baffle cans, a meaningful advantage for rimfire owners who deal with heavier fouling from unburned powder and lead residue. NRA Shooting Sports USA covered the launch on September 18, and Athlon Outdoors has posted an early review of the TTX22 based on pre-production samples.
Taurus has not yet announced the specific retail distribution chain for the TTX line, though the company's existing dealer network and established relationships with major online retailers position it for broad availability at launch. The entry of a major mainstream handgun manufacturer into the suppressor category signals how significantly the market has shifted for manufacturers who previously saw the NFA wait times and $200 per-item tax as too high a barrier to justify accessories investment. Watch for the TTX cans to appear at major suppressor-focused dealers as fall inventory begins to ship.
