I have both. The Outback is more compact but the Alpine has a sealed baffle system that keeps fouling off the tube. While, in my opinion, it's not a perfect implementation, it works and the baffles come out of the tube easily. Sometimes I have to use an Element 2 pusher tool to get my Outback baffles out. Performance between the two is about the same.
If I had to pick one, it would be the Alpine. But I believe the Alpine is being discontinued this year and being replaced by the GM-22. |

Spectre II is $295 at SilencerShop.
All steel baffles. I will never buy an aluminum baffle rimfire silencer. Steel gives you tons of cleaning options. |

I have the AAC Pilot (Similar in weight to the Warlock) with all aluminum baffles. I got tired of having to be gentle with the AL. I had it recored with all stainless. Now I can just throw the baffles in the rotary tumbler with some water and steel pins.Yes, the Warlock is a great can, but AL is not a great material for baffles. I'm getting my EVO 9 recored with stainless next. I'd rather have stainless to ease cleaning over the weight savings. |

'. Can't you say the same things about SiCO as well as having an arguably superior product? Look, I'm no gemtech hater. Their two guys on here see to be standup and knowledgable but that doesn't negate the fact that SiCO's .22 lineup seems to dominate. YMMV |

I had some issues with my TPR-S and they resolved it quickly and to my satisfaction. That being said, Silencerco brings a whole different level of customer service to the game but Gemtech has always done right by me. EDIT: I do feel bad for the guys that got stuck with leaded up Outbacks. I also wish they would reinstate the upgrade program where you could choose steel or titanium replacement baffles. |
