OK. Well, on extended length, yup, it is. But, unless you are concealing the pistol, I don't see how it matters. Or unless you are a Seals member that uses it to silence guard dogs and need compactness for transport.
In civilian life I don't think it matters. For shooting, you don't notice as much as you might think. On the rifle, hardly at all. On the pistol, yeah, it is there. In truth, the biggest problem with the pistol is, the front sight is no longer at the end of the barrel.
As far as cleaning, I think the seperate can is easier. You just unthread it, and fill it with Hoppes for 20 minutes. Blow clean. Done. The weapons cleans as always.
If the suppressor is integral, I don't know HOW you get to the baffles to clean it. I think this is harder but I don't have one. Maybe someone else can answer.
On ammo sensitvity, I can't say. In my experience all 22s are somewhat choosy on what they like. With or without a can.
In all, unless you are intending this as a truly tactical weapon (such as you are a member of a SWAT or SEAL team) I think the external can is just as useful etc. I agree the integral is cooler.
Depends on how much money you got I guess.
Here is a pic of my 10/22 on the line with someone shooting it.
Nope. Not gonna put my wifes pic on the net. Wouldn't be prudent. I'll be back later after I take a pic of the rifle with supressor on it.
