Introducing the SIG Sauer SD Silencers

by SGN Online Editors • January 18, 2013 • 16 comments

SIG Sauer introduced its own line of suppressors at the 2013 SHOT Show, rolling out its SIG Sauer SD silencers. The SD line includes 9mm, .22 rimfire, 7.62 and 5.56 models. The 9mm model is designed to run wet—good for 12-15 rounds wet—and runs with most 9mm pistols. The .22 rimfire model can be totally disassembled for thorough cleaning and boasts an extremely light weight. The 7.62 model also runs .300 Blackout and .308 cartridges and is sold with a lifetime guarantee, as is the 5.56 silencer, which is hearing safe even with sonic ammunition. Both the 7.62 and 5.56 models include a built-in wrench and can easily be torqued to 200-inch pounds. The SD silencers will be available between February and April; prices have not yet been determined. Check out the video from SHOT Show.

    Will we need a federal permit to own a SIG Sauer SD Silenser

    • jake

      Yes

    • John

      any suppressor requires a Class 3 permit to own, you will also need to check your state and possibly local ordinances to make sure they are not banned in your area.

      • Jason

        I can only speak for Texas, but "any suppressor" does NOT require a CLASS III permit. I own 3. It does, however require a tax stamp. Which is $200 and requires completed paperwork and a background which generally takes 6 months

    • SgtOli

      You dont need a permit or license, but need to fill out paperwork and pay the ATF a $200 tax stamp. Once approved you go to your dealer and pick up your suppresor.

  • Anthony

    What about one in .45?

  • Jay

    Always need the Stamp to own a suppressor…

  • S T U D

    I entertain the idea of Silencer ownership but, the State of California will not allow it. Federal crime here in the Golden State.

    • dave

      Its not a "federal" crime if it only affects the state…

  • Jason

    Ughhh.. I live in Texas and you DO NOT need a Class III permit to own one. You have to buy from a Class III dealer, but do not need a permit of any type. Just a $200 check to the ATF an the completed papereork and background check.

    • Double D Gunworks

      but don't get caught with it and not your paperwork…

  • Jim

    Not to bash anyone or anything, but isn't the whole "silencer" thing one of those "dirty words" that conjures up the image of the sneaky Bad Guys that are creeping around ready to commit the next mass shooting? Shouldn't we be using the better (and more appropriate) "Sound Suppressor"?

    • John

      Or maybe the very appropriate: suppresor

  • Caleb

    Silencer is to Firearm as Muffler is to an Automobile, you can still hear it, but it is much quieter! Wish they were legal in The California nanny state. =(

  • Randy

    Never heard of havring to buy a stamp or pay $200 for the background check but every state is different. I live in Ky and to my knowledge if you can pass the background check you can buy all you want. Our gun store here has a large assortment of suppressors. They are really effective on. 22's all you hear is the gun cycle the round. Pretty nice.

    • Double D Gunworks

      they are regulated by federal law in all states
