Watertown, WI – September 26th, 2025 –
Griffin updated their Sportsman Ultra Light line of hunting suppressors last year with the introduction of the Sportsman Ultra Light HD™ Suppressors. Now, Griffin is expanding the family’s capabilities with the newest offering in the category: the Sportsman Ultra Light HD™ 46.  Some states, such as Ohio, have hunting regulations that allow straight-wall cartridges only. The Sportsman .46 was designed to support hunters in these regions for whom cartridges such as .450 Bushmaster and .45/70 are popular due to the straight-cased hunting regulations.
Weight is of great importance when considering a hunting suppressor. The development of laser welders in conjunction with tubeless, high strength 17-4 stainless suppressor design, a technology pioneered in the USA by Griffin Armament, allowed the creation of near titanium-weight suppressors made from more durable and affordable stainless steel.
The Sportsman Ultra Light HD™ series of lightweight hunting suppressors capitalizes on this innovation and brings to market a magnum-rated and full-auto approved, lightweight suppressor at a very affordable price.  This new .46 caliber model was designed in conjunction with a modified ECO-FLOW™ baffle stack to be a medium-backpressure suppressor option specifically tuned for the most common hunting calibers for use in conjunction with bolt action and self-loading firearms.  
Sportsman Ultra Light HD™ suppressors were designed with the industry-standard 1.375×24 HUB mount interface threading which allows the use of any of Griffin’s HUB mount adapters, including direct thread inserts. This allows configuration for a variety of different needs. The .46 model can also be configured with a booster assembly and piston for use on up to .45 ACP tilt-barrel pistols.  For rifle calibers, the Sportsman Ultra Light HD™ .46 is rated up to .45-70 with no barrel length restrictions!
 
“The upgraded Sportsmans increase durability, while minimizing size and weight, and are more affordable- they are a hit with  straight wall cartridge hunters.  We are happy to make an affordable, practical suppressor for rifles up to .45/70.”
