We love dedicated suppressor hosts! For the last couple years, chopping down the barrel length on Ruger Mark series .22 LR pistols short enough that the addition of a silencer brings it back to “normal” length has become increasingly popular. That has all been done aftermarket, though, at great expense and complication. No more! Enter the SSH, also known as the Ruger Mark IV Silencer Shop Host. Silencer Shop’s press release follows . . .

Silencer Shop Announces Suppressor-Optimized Ruger Mark IV Silencer Shop Host (SSH)

Austin, TX (05/05/2023) – Silencer Shop announced a new firearm in collaboration with Ruger, the Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Silencer Shop Host (SSH). Available exclusively at Silencer Shop, the SSH builds on the famous Ruger Mark IV platform and is optimized for use with a suppressor. 

The Ruger Mark IV SSH features a 3” cold hammer forged threaded barrel with a 1” profile to match most .22lr suppressors. This barrel length is designed to stabilize all .22LR ammunition and to keep velocities subsonic to maximize suppression. The Ruger SSH is equipped with rubberized grips, ambidextrous safety, and a Picatinny accessory rail for mounting optics.  

The blued alloy steel receiver ensures durability and longevity and includes a special edition laser-engraved Silencer Shop logo. The full-size frame integrates serrated front and back straps and checkered 1911-style grip panels. The Ruger Mark IV SSH includes three 10-round magazines and is packaged in a hard-sided carrying case.
