EchoCore Suppressors is proud to announce that the Topo 22 earned second place in the .22LR suppressor category at the 2026 Silencer Summit, while also maintaining its position as the second-quietest .22LR suppressor tested since the Silencer Summit began.
Perhaps even more significant, the Topo 22 remains No. 2 in the Silencer Summit's consolidated .22LR suppressor results, which combine testing from multiple years into a single performance leaderboard. Despite another year of independent testing and an expanding field of suppressors evaluated under the same rigorous acoustic standards, the Topo 22 continues to hold its position among the very best-performing rimfire suppressors tested at the Summit.
The second-place ranking is based on Shooter's Ear (SE) LEQ dBA, the measurement used to configure the Silencer Summit leaderboard. Rather than evaluating suppressor performance solely around an extremely brief peak pressure event, LEQ measures acoustic energy over a longer duration, providing a more meaningful representation of the sound exposure experienced by the shooter. This approach more closely reflects how the human ear perceives a gunshot and provides valuable insight into real-world suppressor performance at the shooter's position.
"Taking second place this year is something we are incredibly proud of, but seeing the Topo 22 remain the second-quietest .22LR suppressor in the consolidated Silencer Summit results means even more," said Chris Mudgett, Founder of EchoCore Suppressors. "New products continue to enter this category every year, yet the Topo 22 remains right there at the top. Independent testing matters to us. We can tell people how well a suppressor performs but having objective third-party data demonstrate that performance year after year is far more meaningful."
Manufactured entirely from titanium using advanced DMLS additive manufacturing, the Topo 22 was engineered to deliver exceptional sound reduction in a lightweight, durable package. Its sealed construction eliminates the need for routine disassembly, while its internal geometry and advanced manufacturing allow EchoCore Suppressors to optimize performance without relying on traditional construction.
The Topo 22 is rated for .22LR, .22 WMR, .17 HMR, .17 WSM, 5.7x28mm, and .223REM/5.56 NATO, providing shooters with a remarkably versatile suppressor capable of moving between a wide range of rimfire and centerfire platforms.
The Topo 22, along with the complete EchoCore Suppressors product line, is available exclusively through Silencer Shop and its nationwide network of dealer partners. Through this partnership, customers have access to EchoCore Suppressors products through one of the largest suppressor distribution and dealer networks in the country.
About Silencer Summit
