Has anyone fired a Gemtech Oasis? How does it compair to the other 22lr cans. I always liked the integral MKII but I did not want to spend the $$$ on a Amphibian. I also missed out on the SWR integral. All the others seemed a bit long. Or would I be better sticking my SWR Warlock on a threadded MKII barrel? Thanks Mike K |
I shot one a few weeks ago and must say that I was impressed! Although I have no issues with my P22 & Outback II combo, I did feel the Oasis was noticeably quieter and an overall pleasure to shoot. Perhaps they are the same - I don't know and truly don't care to put them on a meter - all I know is that it was quiet, pleasant to shoot, accurate and would fit in a standard holster. Who could ask for more?  I "need" another suppressed .22 like I "need" another speeding ticket - but I'm leaning toward one of those for my Christmas list.  Hope this helps. Todd |
Oh I have. haha.  The little wet .22lr cans are loud dry. I have one that is 7/8" OD by 3.2" OAL. It's loud enough dry to be borderline painfully loud, but wet, it's quiet enough for the backyard. Not gonna win any contests against a 6"x1" unit though. (obviously the volume of that larger unit is more than 3 times that of the smaller.) oh yeah... obviously it's on a pistol or it wouldn't be that loud dry- (~2.34" barreled beretta 21). |
The above post could describe my exact situation. I have both the Amphibian and the Oasis, but no other suppressors. I started a post a few months ago about my observations, but apparently the information was useless since I (1) didn't provide detailed sound measurements using a very expensive equipment, and (2) didn't provided a table of velocity measurements for a variety of .22LR rounds. But, to answer your question, I would save up for an Amphibian. It is noticeably quieter, and noticeably heavier, than the Oasis. |
