I should be practicing right now.
If you're talking about the one that Bowtiefanatc shared a picture of (non-adjustable saddles, but has the tiny brass inserts at the edge where the strings touch), then no you cannot buy them separately from PRS--only if you buy an actual Paul's Guitar (or other select limited-edition guitars that they've appeared on). You can occasionally find them on the used market, though, if somebody has taken one off their guitar and decides to sell it.
Now if you're talking about the adjustable-saddle wrap-around bridge (on which the adjustable saddles themselves are brass), then yes it's called the "adjustable stoptail bridge" and you can get 'em from the PRS Accessory store.

Yeah, but they did sell them outside of the PRS Store. I remember Shawn posting about it in some thread. Not sure if it was a limited quantity, or what, but he said they were available to purchase. I don't remember where I got mine, but I bought one and put it on my DC-22. It had to be late 2019 or early 2020. I got my Mira in December, 2019 and put the bridge from the DC-22 on it when I put the one with the brass inserts on the DC-22.

Paul's stoptail
OK. if the above philosophy is true, why isn't everyone putting brass nuts on their guitars? I had one on a mid 70's strat in the 80's, when brass nuts were all the rage. or for that matter, why aren't we making the stoptails themselves out of brass along with the tuners? In the mid '80s, Gibson...

If we're talking about the one Bowtie pictured above, yes. I maybe a little more sustain. I just know I like the DC-22 with this bridge more than I did with the standard bridge.

To me it added a little extra clarity especially plugged in.

Thanks. It is now but It wasn’t a few days ago… weird…. At any rate I ended buying a Mann Made 2400 from John. No matter how much I cleaned the slots on the B and E string of the wrap tailpiece on my 93 Custom 22, they wouldn’t stop buzzing it was from hand corrosion…. And it wasn’t the nut or the frets….. neck relief was perfect…..been doing my own setups for many years.. I’m sure the new bridge will add new life to my old 22, which in general is a really nice, very well made Annapolis guitar
