Conditional: Suppressors are legal in South Dakota for civilians who complete the federal National Firearms Act (NFA) process.

ConditionalVerified Jul 18, 2026

Suppressors are legal in South Dakota for civilians who complete the federal National Firearms Act (NFA) process. SDCL 22-14-6 exempts anyone who has registered the weapon federally, and 2026 SB 2 removed silencers from the "controlled weapon" definition entirely. Hunting with a suppressor is permitted.
