We told you about the Griffin Armament Optimus Suppressor yesterday. Griffin Armament has now released their official press release that contains a lot of the detail regarding this can that you have been emailing me about.

From Griffin Armament:

The Optimus Silencer is the most significant advancement in consumer silencer technology in the last decade. A truly high performance and versatile silencer, the Optimus can service any firearm from rimfire calibers up to 300 Winchester Magnum.

Utilizing full 17-4 stainless construction with user adaptable components the Optimus in its full size standard configuration is a 9.4” 18.5 ounce, taper mounted 300 Winchester Magnum rated silencer.

A 7.9 inch 16 ounce 308 rated Mid Size Taper Mount configuration can be attained using the optional minimalist brake shield.

Re-configuring the suppressor with the included booster assembly and piston, the Optimus transforms into a high performance, reliable, 9mm pistol silencer.

The optional low profile 3 lug assembly can also be interfaced with the Optimus pistol configuration, providing secure attachment for 9mm, 556 and 300 blk out carbines.

Additionally, the user can enjoy quiet rimfire shooting by switching end caps to the included 22 caliber end cap.

After use the Optimus can be fully disassembled for cleaning by removing the patent pending Taper Lock interfaces.

The Optimus silencer transforms into multiple configurations to suit the shooters requirements on various platforms from rimfire to 300 win mag. Full spectrum versatility, in a single, durable, user serviceable silencer is now possible with the Griffin Optimus.

Includes: 9mm and 22 caliber end caps; full booster assembly,1/2×28 piston, and 5/8×24 30 caliber Minimalist Brake Mount.

MSRP: $1095

Griffin Armament released an image of their upcoming A3 Grip. The grip appears, at first glance, to be something like a combination of the A1 and A2 grips with an enhanced grid-like grip texture but there is more going on here just a new grip pattern. The grip also features a more modern, more vertical grip angle that many shooters, myself included, find more comfortable.

The A3 grip is manufactured from glass filled polymer and available in black, foliage green, flat dark earth, and OD green. It will be available soon. Stay tuned.

Now you can turn your Griffin Armament Taper Mount can into a direct mount can. Adapters are available to install on your suppressor so that it can be mounted directly to 5/8×24 or 1/2×28 threads. The adapters are made from 17-4PH steel and Melonite QPQ processed.

The adapters have 2 separate sets of wrench flats so that regardless of whether you have it mounted to the can or your barrel, you can easily get a wrench on it for installation and removal.

Griffin Armament’s new Maritime Receiver Extension features seven drainage holes incorporated into its design that allows water to drain. Four of the ports are located on the back of the tube and the remaining three at located in the rearward three adjustment holes.

The Maritime Receiver Extension is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and made to mil-spec dimensions. Many “mil-spec” receiver extensions are made from 6061 aluminum and mil-spec in dimension only. This is certainly not the type of thing that everyone needs but Griffin Armament was able to bring it to the market at a price that is competitive with other 7075 receiver extensions of known quality.
