I finally got a camcorder to the range so I could test my suppressed Ruger against my air pistol. While the air pistol had the edge on noise, the Ruger beat the air pistol on power, rate of fire and just plain fun.

Very nice!

What are the specs on that outer tube and will it flex enough to cause any baffle strikes later on?
Reason I ask - A) I'm slow sometimes and B) those two shoulders on the barrel didn't look beefy enough to
stand up to any accidental or otherwise shenanigans.

My Ruger 22/45 with an Outback is quieter than a copy of a Walther CP99 CO2 pistol I have (the air pistol,by the way,is the most realistic and fun air gun I've ever had).

The tube is .049" thick and one inch wide. The shoulder at the end is plenty large enough to hold the rear of the silencer in place. It is tough enough as long as I do not drop it from a height onto a hard surface or use it as a hammer. It is much more effective than my homemade 1x6 inch can that I use on my P-22 and Buckmark.

As with most Youtube videos, the video does not do it justice at all.

My Daisy single pump match pistol (approx 350fps) is louder than CB caps on my supressed 22-45 Ruger with Gemtech Outback II. Subsonics are a bit louder than the air pistol, yet less distinct or sharp.
