Orion Wholesale Partners with Hi-Point Firearms to Launch Exclusive Taylor Customs “Cigar” .22 Suppressor

Listen to Article

The HUSH-POINT CIGAR 22 SUPPRESSOR isn’t just another rimfire can—it’s a deliberate statement that the suppressor market is finally shedding its tactical-only skin and embracing personality. By wrapping a proven monocore design in a dark-brown hard-anodized sleeve with gold bands, Taylor Customs and Hi-Point have turned a utilitarian accessory into something that looks like it belongs in a humidor rather than a range bag. That visual cue matters: it signals to fence-sitting gun owners that suppressors can be fun, collectible, and conversation pieces instead of strictly “operator” gear, widening the aperture through which new shooters enter the NFA world.

For the 2A community this launch is a quiet but meaningful win on the cultural front. Every time a product like the Cigar hits dealer shelves it normalizes ownership, chips away at the “silencers are for assassins” trope, and gives pro-suppressor arguments tangible, shareable imagery. Orion Wholesale’s exclusive distribution also underscores how cottage-industry innovators and legacy manufacturers can collaborate without surrendering brand identity—an encouraging model as more states move toward shall-issue suppressor ownership. In short, the Cigar proves that expanding the aesthetic vocabulary of suppressors isn’t just good marketing; it’s another incremental step toward mainstream acceptance of hearing-safe, socially responsible shooting.
