I just got back from picking up my first can. It is an Advanced Armament Pilot. I had my 22/45 threaded, and I purchased a threaded Green Mountain barrel. The 22/45 turned out great! The guy threaded it, moved the sight back, and made a thread protector. He did a really nice job. I ran 10 quick rounds through the 22/45. Ran like a top. I have not shot the 10/22 yet. Thanks to Mark at Polite Society for the great service. Here are a few pics. I'm pumped! Thread protector on:  Thread protector off:  Can on 22/45:  10/22 with can:  |
I've been thinking about a CZ. I have fired one with the Pilot on it, and it is scary quiet. (Another little service provided by Polite Society) One question, do the Pilots get quieter with use? I was a little surprised at how loud the 22/45 was, but I was not using subsonic ammo, so I'm sure alot of that was the crack of the bullet. |
Good 'ol CCI Blazer. Remember, I'm a NEWB at this. My only point of reference is James Bond flicks.... I guess real life is different! |

Also remember that you will hear the action cycling and you will have some noise as the gasses escape through the ejection port. That's why I suggested the bolt action. Nothing is James Bond quiet (tahanks, Hollywood  ), the .22 pilot with the right ammo is just about as closse as you can get.Std velocity ammo will be right at the sonic speed (maybe just shy, maybe a bit over) out of your pistol, but with the longer barrel of you're 10/22, it will have a higher propensity to pick up more velocity. Play around with diffeent types of ammo. Be careful with Aguila Sniper Subsonics... They are heavy and slow, and many barrels will not stabilize that bullet. You don't want baffle strikes in your new toy. If you want to try them, shot a lot at them at a paper target WITHOUT the can first, and check the target for keyholing... a sure sign of an unstable bullet. Good luck, and enjoy your SKK (Silent Kitty Killer  )
