Q LLC Suppressor Heritage

Q LLC was founded by Kevin Brittingham after he left Advanced Armament Corp (AAC)—one of the most storied and respected silencer manufacturers in history. Brittingham’s engineering expertise defined an entire generation of suppressors, and that same precision carries forward in every Q product. Q suppressors are manufactured in the USA (Claremont, NH) using aerospace-grade materials, tight tolerances, and proven acoustic designs that set the standard for sound reduction and reliability.

Key Specifications

Performance & Engineering

The Erector 22’s modular design is a game-changer for .22 shooters. Unlike fixed-length suppressors, you stack the segments you need—build it compact for a lightweight rifle, or extend it for maximum sound suppression and backpressure management. This flexibility means one suppressor works across multiple hosts and mission profiles, giving you professional-grade versatility without the cost of buying separate cans.

Q’s aerospace engineering standards ensure that every baffle, seal, and thread interface meets tight tolerances. The aluminum and stainless steel construction is lightweight yet durable enough for regular use in the field. At ~35 dB sound reduction, the Erector 22 delivers whisper-quiet performance on .22 LR—transforming the shooting experience and protecting hearing without sacrificing function or reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Q Erector 22 modular suppressor truly adjustable in length?

A: Yes. The Erector 22 uses a modular construction—you stack individual segments to build the exact length and suppression profile you want. This lets one suppressor work across multiple rifles and use cases, unlike fixed-length designs.

Q: What does ~35 dB sound reduction mean for .22 LR shooting?

A: A 35 dB reduction brings typical .22 LR sound levels (from ~140 dB unsuppressed) down to approximately 105 dB—hearing-safe territory that makes the rifle subsonic-quiet and protects shooter and bystander hearing. This ranks the Erector 22 among the quietest rimfire suppressors available.

Q: Why does Western Sport charge $0 NFA tax stamp for suppressor purchases?

A: Western Sport is a licensed SOT (Special Occupational Tax) dealer. SOT dealers pay the federal tax on suppressors at the wholesale level, so customers purchasing through an SOT transfer do not pay the standard $200 Form 4 tax stamp fee. The Form 4 registration still applies—ATF approval required, about two weeks or less.

Q: What makes Q LLC suppressors different from other brands?

A: Q was founded by Kevin Brittingham, the legendary designer behind Advanced Armament Corp’s respected silencer lineup. Q suppressors use aerospace-grade titanium and stainless steel with tight manufacturing tolerances, are made in the USA (Claremont, NH), and are engineered for both maximum sound reduction and long-term reliability.
