It's effective but not as one made for that caliber.
Unless it's user serviceable don't shoot 22. My 7.62 can quiet 5.56 a dramatic amount See the description.  Testing 30 Caliber Suppressors |

Sure. The Optimus is .357 and suppresses 22lr. Not as good as a dedicated RF can but better than a bare muzzle.

I would advise against using centrefire suppressors on .22 LR.
Increased fouling occurs and that varies according to what type of ammunition is used also, but there can be quite a lot of fouling gathering inside. |

So suppressors for 22 are made different? I know 22 are dirty compared to 308 or similar. Have a sandman S on order.

Big can works fine on a little gun.

I shoot .17 hmr all day long out of my .30 cal recce7 and it works great! As far as getting dirty, yes it does, but shooting some .556 right after burns/blows all the crud out and it looks like new again.

I use either of my TBAC Ultra 30's on my Encore with a 5.7x28 barrel, works fantastic...totally hearing safe when I'm out prairie dogging.

You definitely want your can user serviceable for 22lr. My rimfire can gets lead buildup on the baffles fairly quick.
If you already ordered a sealed centerfire can, get a dedicated rimfire can or at least a user serviceable pistol can. If you want to only have one can, look at an optimus. I got started with a rimfire can and a hybrid. 2 cans covering everything I own or plan to own. I will get more cans eventually, but for now I can focus on host guns. |
