Looking for information about a 22LR suppressor

[Tomclay79]

I'm looking to pick up one more suppressor before the end of the year and I believe it's going to be for my 22LR.

I'm looking to attach it to a Ruger MK II and Ruger 10/22 for right now. I'm new to the suppressor game have a hybrid 46 that I love.

For the 22LR just looking for something light weight and good sound suppression. I was told on another site that there is not difference between a $250 and a $550 suppressor when it comes to 22 LR. I was also told to just buy a 223 suppressor.

I'm not looking for anything special just like something so that if I want to shoot a few hundred rounds I can without waking the wife up(She works overnight)

Also anyone use the Banish 9K? Mostly want to know about sound as it would be nice on my lever action. Thanks!

If you have to have the very quietest can possible, expect about $450 and look for something like the Dead Air Mask.

But since almost any .22 can from a reputable manufacturer will be hard to tell apart, I recommend the SilencerCo Sparrow at $300.

Easiest to clean and company that has been around a very long time with great customer service.

A 223 suppressor will be much heavier and bigger than almost every 22LR can. I have 5 Rimfire cans they are all very similar. My favorite pistol Rimfire is the CAT BEN. My favorite rifle Rimfire is the HUX Flow 22.

Don't use a 223 suppressor for 22LR unless you can take it apart to clean. Almost nobody makes serviceable 223 cans. It will end up weighing a ton and loud as it gets caked full of lead.

Get a quality reputable rimfire can. You aren't paying for massive materials difference. But perhaps options in materials. Your paying for better baffle design. Your paying for the ability to tear it down for the needed maintenance. Your paying for a warranty if you do something stupid and need repair.

Heavy ass cans (like some centerfire .223 cans) can dampen the barrel harmonics but they also literally bend the barrel down. So you will have to dial up to get back on target.....which is costing you vertical travel in your scope if you want to dial out to hit far off targets. Suppressors can shift your initial zero via weight or just harmonics. There's really no way to know what it will amount to if at all till you try it.

If your being quiet....your using super slow 700fps-1100fps subsonic ammo. Shooting close in its not such a big deal. But the jump from 50yds to 100yds is pretty significant. You cannot just aim a smidge high and get a hit. 100 to 200yds more than quadrupled the needed hold over compared to the 50 to 100 drop.

No experience with the 9k but the 30 works well. The banish 22 checks all the boxes and is pretty quiet also. Quieter than the cheaper ones and is serviceable

Mask is the way. Buy once, cry once.

Mask is Ok, I think the Hux Flow 22 is a quieter can and my 10/22 action stays cleaner with it.

Have not tried the Hux yet. I do have and Oculus and prefer the Mask because of ease of cleaning. I have 3 .22lr cans, if I get a 4th I will probably try the Hux.

For semi auto I like the hux/oss flow-through design as they have less back pressure and seem to work better. For bolt action I like a high quality traditional can like a Rad 22.

Do not use a 223 can. They are way bigger and not easy to clean, which is important for 22s.

Thank you a lot of great information! So don't go to 223 size can! Kind of thought so but had a guy who told me this was the best way.

Again I'm not looking for a mouse fart quite something that will make my 22LR sound more like a pellet rifle.

No experience with the 9k but the 30 works well. The banish 22 checks all the boxes and is pretty quiet also. Quieter than the cheaper ones and is serviceable

The 9K I'm looking at to put on my Lever action 38 spl/ 357 mag so many of the faults I read will not be a problem for me I just want it as quite as my Hybrid 46 that's the standards I'm going off of right now.

My 46 been awesome but I can see were weight and size can matter. Not that it's heavy or very long but a 5 oz 5 inch suppressor does as well as my Hybrid 46 on sound I'm sold!

I like the smaller suppressor as it's a bush rifle to hunt hogs with.

As above, don't get a 223 can as it'll fill up with crud very quickly and you won't be able to clean it.

I'd choose something with a good reputation of easy disassembly and cleaning.
I've used so 22lr cans that are a nightmare to disassemble, meaning I put off doing it and then when it's really needs doing its a complete disaster.

I don't live in the US so can't recommend a particular model.

I like the Q El-Camino. It disassembles with a 1/2 inch socket. It's very light which makes a difference with a pistol.

It is made of titanium and stainless steel.

EL CAMINO

The El Camino by Q combines performance, durability, and style into a lightweight package. Its PVD-finished titanium tube is filled with advanced stainless steel baffles that form a sealed stack, keeping the guts clean, and allowing easy maintenance.

TBAC 22 takedown

I have the TBAC and Griffin Optimus Micro

TBAC is really lightweight and simple to clean. I run mine on my Ruger MKIV tactical a lot
