Colorado Suppressors & Silencers Laws (2026)

Conditional: Suppressors are legal in Colorado once they are registered with the federal government.

ConditionalVerified Aug 2, 2026

Suppressors are legal in Colorado once they are registered with the federal government. A silencer is a "dangerous weapon" (C.R.S. 18-12-102, class 5 felony), but a valid federal National Firearms Act (NFA) permit is an affirmative defense, so a properly registered suppressor is lawful.
