Why are suppressors $$$?

[LRRPF52]

So for various reasons, US made suppressors are a premium quality product with a limited market. That makes sense.

There are several price point markets for suppressors in the US.

A lot of the .22 cans even will be made to a pretty high standard though, since it is so hard to get paperwork through.

You have your $250-$300 rimfire cans.

You have your $600-$700 centerfire cans.

$700-$900 centerfire cans

$900-$1100 centerfire cans

$1100-$2200 centerfire cans

A lot of your larger bore, magnum-rated cans will cost a pretty penny, or something exotic like OSS, and the Surefire SOCOM cans.
