Griffin Armament Announces CHECKMATE-HD Rimfire Silencer
Leading firearm manufacturer Griffin Armament has just announced the highly anticipated release of their latest innovation, the CHECKMATE-HD suppressor. Designed specifically for rimfire pistols, this groundbreaking suppressor is set to revolutionize the industry. Weighing in at a mere 5.8 ounces, the CHECKMATE-HD delivers unmatched performance while maintaining an astonishingly lightweight profile.
The standout feature of the CHECKMATE-HD is its patent-pending CARBON-GARD technology. This cutting-edge sealing system, currently pending patent approval, sets a new standard for user maintenance. By employing high-temperature Silicone O-rings, the entire baffle core remains sealed, even after firing 2000 rounds. This design eliminates the need for specialized tools and enables hassle-free disassembly with just a US Quarter.
Boasting a 5.04″ overall length and crafted from premium 17-4 heat-treated Eco-Flow baffles, the CHECKMATE-HD ensures durability and optimum sound performance. The integrated EZ-LOK QD mounting system guarantees a secure and accurate fit, further enhancing the shooting experience. The 7075-T6 billet machined, and hardcoat anodized tube provides maximum strength, making it the ideal choice for rimfire enthusiasts.
Griffin Armament’s relentless dedication to research and development is evident in the CHECKMATE-HD’s baffle system. Extensive work went into eliminating first-round pop, resulting in a market-leading sound pressure level (SPL) for both rifles and pistols.
When asked about the suppressor, Austin, head of Griffin Armament product development, said,
“For its very small size and weight, the CHECKMATE-HD™ is probably the most efficient .22lr suppressor in the world. We are proud to bring back a Checkmate rimfire suppressor that can carry the lineage of our initial, 17-year-old suppressor model forward into the future. Built on technology related to a recent note-able baffle technology patent and with pending patents on the mounting system and user-serviceable technology, this suppressor delivers unbeatable performance and value in today’s market. We specifically targeted the previously market-leading rimfire suppressor with this model. This is the new market leader in the rimfire class.”
The Griffin Armament CHECKMATE-HD comes complete with an EZ-LOK 1/2×28 coupler, ensuring effortless setup right out of the box. With the exception of various threaded barrel end couplers, the only additional accessory needed is a CAM-LOK rear mount. This user-friendly design ensures straightforward installation and usage.
Featuring unbeatable sound performance, unparalleled ease of maintenance and servicing, lightweight construction, historically accurate CHECKMATE-QD mounting, and competitive pricing, the CHECKMATE-HD suppressor sets a new standard in the rimfire category.
Firearm enthusiasts can expect the CHECKMATE-HD to be available soon, priced at $459.00 MSRP. With its impressive features and Griffin Armament’s Perpetual Lifetime Warranty, the Griffin Armament CHECKMATE-HD is poised to become the must-have suppressor for rimfire pistol owners.
