I see a lot of guys using the Ruger Mark III or 22/45 pistols with suppressors.
Are these quieter than a gun with a slide on it like an M&P 22? |

The action is louder than the report with my 22/45 and subsonics.
To make it REALLY quiet I thumb the bolt to keep it from recprocating. |
|

Possibly quieter due to the bolt being contained within a tube versus a mostly open slide, but mostly dependent on particular suppressor and ammo.

I am trying to decide as well.
I am torn between the Buckmark, Mark III, 22/45, M&P 22 Compact, and SR22. I kind of want the SR22/M&P 22c to have a smaller gun for kids. I think the M&P may be better built (steel pin for slide stop, etc) than the SR22. ETA: I have a Mark II but probably won't go that route as it is a PITA to clean. |

Fixed barrel is the key.
22/45 Lite is what you want to buy. Awesome gun. Slap a Volquartsens trigger/hammer in there and you are GTG. |

And for the record, after having owned a Browning Buckmark, S&W 22A, and several Ruger 22/45's, the factory threaded 22/45 is what I have and recommend.

Im not a huge fan of the 22/45. BUT I love the way they look suppressed any day of the week. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/43/18/6a/43186aa63a70b771ba90b50478cbfe6b.jpg http://i.imgur.com/uGxkq.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ca/17/6e/ca176eca04cd054e8c1823e6b007727a.jpg View Quote What sights are you rocking on these? |

Between 22/45 lite and SR-22, no real difference in suppressor performance (Pilot 2) that I can see and hear. Both very quiet.....and fun.

I have a 22/45 with all the trimmings inside it, not much on the outside other than HiViz Fiber sites... As it sits, I really like the way it shoots and handles, my biggest gripe is dis-assembly to clean it and re-assembly...

I have the 22/45 Tactical with an Osprey II can that sounds quieter than a pellet gun with subsonics, but it won't cycle the bolt.
Standard velocity cycles the bolt and is still pretty quiet enough to shoot in the house. |

My main .22 handgun host is a S&W 422 with a 4.5" barrel. I got a M&P 22 compact and I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was. As quiet as my 422 and maybe slightly quieter with Fed bulk pack. Can't speak to the 22/45s as a host, I love them, but mine's not threaded.

I had some Cabela's Points, so I ended up picking up a Smith and Wesson M&P 22...
Shot a few hundred rounds out of it unsuppressed, no issues... I've not got to shoot it with the Can on it, as I had to order a thread Adapter, and haven't got to go shooting since I got it in and on... |

[#21]
Not necessarily new or practical, but I always thought a suppressed Beretta 70S would be the shit.

22/45 lite with red dot. Simply awesome.
M&P 22 works well too. Liberty titanium monocore. |

Owned many, only the 22/45 remains.
The biggest complaint I hear about the Rugers is that they look like space blasters and not a "real" firearm. I want my 22s to run everything, even the cheapest dirtiest bulk ammo around, and the 22/45 has certainly done that. If ascetics are that important to you then by all means get a mosquito or whatever but if you want something that was built around the cartridge and will work then the Rugers have it (and Buckmarks too). |

I broke 3 takedown levers on an SR22. Not exactly sure why. It functioned perfectly when not suppressed but would break the takedown lever within 15 rounds when suppressed.

I went with a 22/45 lite cobalt. Awesome gun. View Quote This Friends have both of the M&P 22's. They are nice guns, but the 22/45 is a proven gun. Also, there are thousands of upgrades out there for 22/45s. The M&P 22s are very cool guns and cant talk bad about them. I would get the compact for fun and the full size to match my M&P Pro 9 for practice. I still might get one. I have a Browning Buckmark. I've shot it in steel match for 3 years. A very accurate gun, but is very picky with ammo. For plinking the 1 out of 20 stove pipes are fine, but not for competition. Also, you have to re-zero every time you clean a buckmark. With a can, cleaning has to be done more often. |

I went with the 22/45 Lite. Thanks for all of the advice.
I'll possibly pick up an M&P 22 as well. |

My buddy has a suppressed Browning Buckmark....he loves it. It used to have the suppressor on a walther .22, but it had issues cycling sometimes.

My top two are probably the 22/45 Lite with the addition of a Volquartsen sear and the M&P22. I added a fiber optic front sight to the M&P22 which makes it much easier to get my sight picture. The M&P22 Compact is new so I don't have much experience with it yet. The M&P22 fits my hand better but the compact doesn't feel bad. My least favorite is the SR22 and that's only because my thumb always end up thumbing down/activating the safety. This takes the pleasure out of shooting an otherwise great gun. |

I am still waiting on my Sparrow to be approved. But, it will be going on a 22/45 Lite Mark III. Probably with a dot sight of some sort. The Rugers are great hosts, and the Mk III's with the pre-threaded barrels make the choice easy!
(Well, pretty easy. I was tempted by the M&P22 the dealer had, more cause I have a Mark II Gov't, and several other Rugers, and I don't own a single S&W. I am already considering what my next suppressor will, but I am 98% certain the host will be a M&P, probably a .45) |

I personally like the Walther P22. I have a Spectre II can for it and works really well.

Everyone keeps talking about the "M&P 22".
There is a huge difference between the M&P22.... And the M&P22 COMPACT The compact is made by Smith and Wesson, the original is made by Walther, The compact has a fixed barrel... The original does not. The compact is aluminum where it counts... The original is not I ordered the compact from Palmetto $287 shipped |
