I would like to get a can for my Walther P-22, but I am new to the game, and don't really know which one to go with. Cost is a factor of course, but if I am going to plunk down the $200 tax either way, I don't want to get stuck with some piece of junk. I am looking at the one they sell at Tactical Innovations.com, for only $150 or so, and also the Gemtech Outback, which costs significantly more. Any advice or recommendations you guys can give would be much appreciated. |

The PDQ from LRM is supposed to be a great .22 can! www.lrmfirearms.com/pages/866786/index.htm |
The PDQ is a little big for a P22. I'd go with the AAC Pilot, or the Gemtech Outback. |

Thanks for the recommendations, guys. One other question - I have yet to see a pic of a P-22 with the 5" barrel and suppressor. Are there thread adaptors available for the 5" barrel? Reason I ask is, I have an M6 light/laser I want to mount on the P-22, but I need the full 5" barrel for the light to mount correctly. |
| The Outback is a good can, but if you can find one, I'd strongly recommend a Bowers CAC22. Last summer at a small local shoot we did a side by side comparison between the Outback and the CAC22. The CAC was significantly more quiet - much less first round pop and better supression overall. Of course, its an all stainless steel can, and a bit longer (and obviously heavier compared to the aluminum Outback). The CAC is rated for full auto (which also figured heavily in my decision); although I probably won't use it too much on my AM180, its nice to know it can stand up to that kind of torture. |
| Those videos don't mean shit. A camcorder has a compression/limiter circuit that will cut off sound at about 90dB, and since those weapons are both louder than that they're going to sound about the same. Plus even if you could disable the limiter, the mic wouldn't accurately record the sound level. |
| I have an AAC Pilot also, and I'm very happy with it. That said, one of my friends just got one of the Tactical Innovations cans, and it's (to my EAR) just as quiet as my Pilot which cost 2x as much. Plus you can disassemble it for cleaning, which is definitely an advantage. .22 cans don't need to be expensive to work well. |
