TWENTY-TOUCAN
The Faxon Twenty-Toucan® is a cutting-edge, modular .22 caliber suppressor engineered for shooters who demand peak sound suppression, durability, and tuning control. With its configurable baffle system, ultra-rugged build, and full-auto rating, the Twenty-Toucan® delivers unmatched versatility for rimfire enthusiasts and 5.7x28 shooters alike.
Twenty-Toucan®
Modular .22 Cal Suppressor — Built Beyond Rimfire
The Twenty-Toucan® is Faxon’s modular, fully serviceable suppressor designed for more than just rimfire. Machined from 17-4 PH stainless steel with a black nitride finish, it’s full-auto rated for .17 HMR, .22 LR, .22 Mag, and 5.7x28mm—four calibers from a single serialized can. Two configurations: short mode (3.87″, 5.1 oz) for pistols and compactness, full mode (5.78″, 8 oz) for maximum suppression. Six tunable baffles—three standard, three perforated—let you dial in tone, flash, and backpressure to match your platform and ammunition.
Tinkering encouraged.
Independently verified hearing-safe. The Twenty-Toucan® recorded 131.95 dB at muzzle (27.7 dB reduction) and 133.06 dB at shooter’s ear (20.4 dB reduction) at the 2025 Thunderbeast Silencer Summit—below the 140 dB hearing-damage threshold at all measurement positions. Tested alongside 27 competing .22 suppressors under identical standardized conditions.
Two Suppressors in One
Most .22 suppressors come in one length and stay that way. The Twenty-Toucan® ships with a main body and a threaded extension tube that screws onto the front, giving you two distinct configurations from a single serialized suppressor.
Short Configuration
3.87″ • 5.1 oz • 3 baffles
Main body with end cap threaded directly to the front. Compact and balanced for suppressed pistols, backpack guns, and hosts where overall length matters most. Up to 19.5 dB reduction on a 4″ pistol platform.
Full Configuration
5.78″ • 8 oz • 6 baffles
Extension tube threads onto the main body for three additional baffles. Up to 28.8 dB reduction on a rifle platform—quiet enough that the action cycling is louder than the report. The full configuration the Silencer Summit tested.
Switching between configurations takes about 30 seconds with the included .50 cal Challenge Coin tool—a rifled barrel slice that doubles as a collectible and fits the end cap slot perfectly. Faxon also offers a free 3D-printable end cap removal tool for anyone with access to a printer.
Baffle Tuning: Tinkering Encouraged
The six included baffles—three standard and three perforated (vented)—aren’t just for cleaning convenience. They’re a tuning system. The order and type of baffles in the stack changes how gas flows through the suppressor, which changes what you hear, see, and feel at the muzzle. Try different arrangements, shoot them back to back, and find the setup that matches your host, your ammo, and your ears.
The cup (open) end of each baffle must face the muzzle during reassembly. Beyond that, the order is entirely up to you.
Built Beyond Rimfire: Why 17-4 PH Stainless Steel
Most .22 suppressors are built around rimfire pressures alone. The Twenty-Toucan® isn’t. Its full-auto rating covers .22 Mag and 5.7x28mm—cartridges that generate significantly higher pressures and temperatures than .22 LR. Faxon chose 17-4 PH (precipitation-hardened) stainless steel over lighter aluminum or titanium because it delivers the structural strength to handle sustained automatic fire from higher-pressure cartridges without fatiguing, cracking, or deforming over the suppressor’s lifetime.
At 8 oz in full configuration, the Twenty-Toucan® is heavier than a dedicated rimfire-only can—because it’s not a dedicated rimfire-only can. The weight is the structural margin that makes four calibers and full-auto ratings possible. The precipitation hardening process brings 17-4 PH to approximately 35–40 HRC—hard enough to resist fouling buildup, tough enough to handle the torque of repeated baffle removal and reinstallation, and corrosion resistant enough for years of regular cleaning.
The black nitride finish is a thermochemical treatment that diffuses nitrogen into the steel surface, creating a hardened case that becomes part of the metal itself. It won’t peel, chip, or separate the way traditional coatings can over time and repeated cleanings.
Four Calibers, One Can
Any firearm in these calibers with 1/2x28 muzzle threads is compatible. From a Ruger 10/22 to an FN P90 to a bolt-action .17 HMR varmint rifle—the Twenty-Toucan® adapts to whatever you’re shooting.
2025 Thunderbeast Silencer Summit
The Silencer Summit is the industry’s largest standardized suppressor testing event. Every suppressor fires the same ammunition, on the same host, through the same measurement equipment—eliminating the variables that make manufacturer-to-manufacturer comparisons unreliable. The Twenty-Toucan® was tested in full configuration with standard velocity .22 LR on a Sig P322 platform alongside 27 other .22 suppressors.
Bare muzzle reference: 159.62 dB (ML), 159.46 dB (MR), 153.48 dB (SE) on the same Sig P322 host. Hearing-damage threshold: 140 dB. Data courtesy of Thunderbeast Arms Corporation / Silencer Summit 2025.
Context on rankings: Many of the lighter, quieter .22 suppressors at the Summit are built from aluminum or titanium with thinner walls—optimized exclusively for rimfire pressures. The Twenty-Toucan® is built from 17-4 PH stainless steel because it’s full-auto rated for .22 Mag and 5.7x28mm, not just .22 LR. The structural margin that handles those higher-pressure cartridges adds weight, and weight affects sound readings. The trade-off: a suppressor that’s hearing-safe and built to last across four calibers at any rate of fire.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Rimfire ammunition deposits significantly more lead, wax, and carbon fouling than centerfire rounds. Clean the Twenty-Toucan®’s internal components every 300–500 rounds, or sooner if accuracy drops, the can rattles, or removal becomes difficult.
1. Disassemble: Allow the suppressor to cool fully. Unscrew the end cap with the .50 Cal Challenge Coin tool. Pour or tap the baffles out. If running full configuration, unscrew the extension tube from the main body first.
2. Clean: Use any standard firearm cleaning solvent rated for stainless steel. Non-abrasive brushes, swabs, and patches work well. Ultrasonic cleaning is permitted. Avoid harsh solvents that could damage the nitride finish.
3. Reassemble: Orient baffles with the cup (open) end facing the muzzle. No rattle should be present after tightening the end cap. If you hear one, disassemble and re-stack.
NFA Transfer & Tax Stamp
The $200 tax stamp fee has been eliminated, but suppressors are still regulated under the NFA. After purchase, email your SOT information to NFA@FaxonFirearms.com with your order ID as the subject line within 24 hours. The buyer is responsible for all transfer fees and associated NFA costs. Current eForm 4 processing times are significantly faster than they were a few years ago. There has never been a better time to buy a suppressor.
Why “Twenty-Toucan”? During development, the team kept asking “what’s the status on the twenty-two can?” Say it a few times fast and the words blend together—twenty-two can became Twenty-Toucan. The name stuck, the toucan mascot followed, and a Faxon tradition was born.
