The Bowers Bitty is a tiny .22 rimfire suppressor from Bowers Group, small enough to fit inside a standard .22 LR ammunition box. It measures 2.8 inches long and weighs 2.6 ounces, so it adds little length or weight to a rimfire pistol. On a rifle, Bowers says it performs much like full-size .22 suppressors. It is rated for several rimfire cartridges, including full-auto use with .22 LR. It suits a shooter who wants a suppressed rimfire pistol that stays compact and comfortable to shoot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Bitty hearing safe on a pistol? Bowers says it is well under the hearing-safe threshold on a 4-inch or longer barrel, tested with standard velocity .22 ammunition, and hearing safe on a .22 Mag rifle.
