Suppressors Any end-user experience here; Gemtech G5-22?

[shooterman_zero17]

As the title asks, any hands on knowledge or usage with a Gemtech G5-22?

I've been reading the threads on .22 cans here, and my original plan was an AAC Aviator. However, with reading these threads it's been discussed that a sealed unit is restricting, and having a can that can be disassembled for cleaning is the better bet with rimfire cartridges.

I realize there are other units that can be disassembled for similar prices, but one thing that attracts me to this one in particular is the fact it was designed (sizewise) to be used with .22LR rifles that mimic their centerfire counterparts. I will primarily be using it on rifles that fit that bill (whenever I turn 21 and wait for another 21 years on ATF...) It reads that having the larger body attributes lower blowback as well.

Lay it on me.

I have zero experience with it, but i have learned 2 valuable lessons from 22lr suppressors.

~Pushing fouled baffles out of a tube is a bitch. An absolute ball-busting, pain in the ass, nagging mother-in-law, bitch. Some will say "oh its not that hard" Bull fucking shit. They are straight liars, the end.

~Aluminum sucks. Period. Inability to clean effectively, coupled with weaker composition, is a recipe for a hell no.

I have a SWR Specter, 316 SS, its easy to disassemble after a day at the range, its rated for full auto, and you can use it for multi-calibers.
