SIG Sauer SLX and SLH series of suppressors, the “Next Generation of Suppressor Technology”

The “Next Generation of Suppressor Technology” is coming to the civilian market: the new SLX and SLH series of suppressors has been just introduced by SIG Sauer. Regular all4shooters.com readers may have the feeling they have already seen them somewhere. They were in fact developed for the US Army Next Generation Squad Weapons program submission. 

In detail, the SLX and SLH series was realized through the wholesale transition of the SIG Sauer product line to Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS). “The DMLS manufacturing process of the SLX and SLH suppressors eliminates the drawbacks of welded baffles that historically presents design limitations for sound, flash, and the reduction of toxic fumes,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG Sauer, Inc. “Alternatively, the SLX and SLH suppressors are designed to not only withstand the rigors of the battlefield through its innovative monolithic design, but they are each optimized to dramatically reduce harmful toxic fumes and sound because of patented design features that can only be achieved through the non-traditional manufacturing processes.”

The SIG Sauer SLH series of suppressors are designed to provide the highest degree of sound reduction in both supersonic and subsonic ammo and are available for 7.62 NATO and 300BLK calibers.

The technological secret of the SLX series of suppressors lies in the monolithic core construction in Inconel, an internal multi-flow path to exhaust gases at a higher rate, a sound reducing baffle design, and a flash reducing end cap. 

The suppressors are designed for 5.56 or 7.62 NATO calibers and are available with either direct thread or the new Clutch-Lock QD mounting system. 

The latter allows for easy install and removal offering an intuitive tactile locking ring with infinite radial locking positions.

Both the SLX and SLH series are available with either direct thread or the new Clutch-Lock QD mounting system. The latter allows for easyinstall and removal offering an intuitive tactile locking ring with infinite radial locking positions.

The SIG Sauer SLH series of suppressors, on the other hand, are “designed to provide the highest degree of sound reduction in both supersonic and subsonic ammunitions”. 

Available for 7.62 NATO and 300BLK calibers they also feature a monolithic core construction in either Inconel or Titanium, an internal multi-flow path to exhaust gases at a higher rate resulting in lower toxic fume inhalation, a sound reducing baffle design, a flash reducing end cap, and come with either the new Clutch-Lock QD mounting system or direct thread.
