In our previous installment we covered the details of the new AAC Halcyon Rimfire Silencer.  We will now be featuring this cool can at the range and testing it on several different host platforms including a 22LR pistol, 22LR rifle and 22 mag rifle.  We will be using both standard velocity bulk ammo as well as the Gemtech subsonic ammo in 22LR.  Additionally, we will compare it against the very common SWR Spectre II as well as a Gemtech Mist Integrally suppressed Ruger 10/22.

The AAC Halcyon is definitely an interesting rimfire silencer that can be ran on 22LR, 22WMR (22 Mag), 17HMR and 5.7.  What makes this rimfire silencer standout for me is the short configuration.  You can’t beat physics, a bigger can has more internal volume and will always be quieter, having said that I was pretty impressed with the short config.  On both pistol and rifle shooting subsonics it was very pleasant to shoot.
