Been doing a lot of reading over the past few weeks and to quote the FAQ for this page - Suppressors are a very complicated hobby, I've learned with this.
I've decided to start off simple - a .22LR suppressor for the moment, simple - fairly inexpensive and fun right off the bat.
For hosts, I have:
Savage 93r22 TRR-SR MK.II (that's a handful...) Just bought it this last weekend with the intention of going forward with a suppressor, I actually spent an extra $125 on a brand new gun, vs a used one my LGS had, because of the threaded barrel.
Sig mosquito - Gen 1, it jams... a lot. But it's fun with CCI rounds that it actually cycles.
GSG-5
M&P 15-22 MOE
I plan on getting an M&P 22 pistol and probably a rugar 10/22 eventually as well. Possibly another savage 93 in .17 as well.
I've done a lot of reading and why to avoid aluminium cans and go with a stainless steel / titanium one. I'm not going to penny pinch over this, so I've narrowed it down to two choices:
1. Liberty Essences
Pros: Light weight, very quiet, user cleanable, great customer service with Liberty.
Cons: Not terribly easy to clean? Most expensive on the market.
2. Silencerco Sparrow II
Pros: User cleanable / easiest to clean on the market, not terribly expensive, rated for 5.7mm just in case I ever go that route.
Cons: Not as quiet as the liberty, little heavier.
Basically, I'm 50/50 between either of them. I'm leaning towards the Sparrow II simply due to cost and availability vs. the essence. But at the same time, no one really has said how hard it is to clean the Liberty essence and I'm looking for feed back on the essence as well.
Thoughts? Help? Advice?
Thanks!
