[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Suppress pistol or rifle?

Posted: 12/25/2012 7:11:15 PM EDT

I wanted originally to suppress my AR, but now I'm reconsidering that decision. With ammo prices and everything I doubt I'll be doing much rifle shooting, so I'm thinking about suppressing one of my pistols. Probably the HK usp compact 9mm.

Also what are some reasonably priced cans for 9mm and 556?

Thanks.

Thought about a 22 can? They are loads of fun and can be used on rifle and pistols for pennys per round.

That's all I have now......my next one will be a 30 cal suppressor that'll serve the 223 needs also.

Have rifle, pistol, and rimfire cans.......rimfire definitely gets the most use! I would recommend a .22 takedown capable can, then .45 pistol can with pistons for 9mm, then a .30 cal QD can with mounts for .223-.308. You can add dedicated .223 and 9mm cans later.

Here's a question...

In a "ban situation"... What are the chances of NFA goin' Bye Bye?

As in... No more apps for stamps accepted?

I wouldn't think they'd be very good since NFA is so far off the radar to the MSM and the Libtards in general...

Thoughts?

Relevance to thread:... Been wondering the same thing... BUT... Been wondering if I need to do it sooner rather than later... Or if I can wait a bit.

You get the most bang for your buck with a 22LR suppressor.

Another option would be getting a 9mm suppressors and using it on your .22LR, 9mm pistol, 9mm AR and you can also use it on 300BLK subsonic. The SWR Octane 9 HD has been popular for this.

Another option is getting a 30 cal suppressor for use with 300BLK, 308, 223.

It's really hard to say. Most people think they are illegal already, so the left doesn't seem to go after them much. However a new ban may be totally different from the '94 AWB. They may go after NFA or not. Kind of like who's to say whether a new AWB would have a grandfather clause? At this point anything is just speculation and hopefully we can cut it off at the pass and prevent any new legislation infringing our rights further.

And to the OP, like has been stated above, if you are wanting something you will shoot a lot and relatively inexpensive to shoot, get a good rimfire can.

All I know is they have 3 of my items tied up, and if a ban were enacted I would be one pissed off dude out of a couple thousand dollars.....

+1 on the GOOD can. I wouldn't buy any rimfire can thats not serviceable.

Here is my can after ~1500 rounds

Who threaded your 10/22 takedown? Did they move the front sight back or take if off completely?

Don't have one......don't own a single 10/22 in fact.

Ayup

It was a mofo to get apart.

Oddly enough I swear it was quieter before I cleaned it.
