The S&W M&P .22 compact is a lot of fun and mine has been trouble free. I w old definitely buy another one if this one were stolen.

That and the fact that Ruger has been selling them for 7 decades now and they are still one of the most popular and best selling 22 pistols out there with after market support 2nd to none. Generally speaking, unreliable guns don't have that kind of longevity or fan base. So my point is, I'm not doubting that you and some others may have had issues with individual examples but all that shows is that you and some others have had bad luck and nothing more. |

The MKIV isn’t what you are looking for, that’s for sure. Aside from the crap trigger that had to be replaced with a Volquartsen, I had to put a VQ extractor, firing pin, and lightened recoil spring assembly in my 22/45 lite just to get it to cycle 50-100 rounds of standard velocity reliably suppressed. After that, it’s fouled to the extent that it’ll only function with high velocity ammo like mini mags. This has me searching for other suppressor hosts and through my research, it looks like the TX22 competition may be the best. I never thought I’d buy a Taurus product, but I think I’m going to. |

I had the original Ruger MK III 22/45 Lite and it was a great suppressor host with a few exceptions.
Being the original version it did not have the barrel cooling cuts and heat would build up, this caused lead bullets to melt and adhere to the barrel. If I used copper jacketed bullets there was no build up and all was good. I was worried about a baffle streak or poor accuracy. I had thousands of lead bullets that I couldn't use. Between that and the difficulty to take it apart I was getting ready to buy the Ruger MK IV 22/45 Tactical. It solved the 2 issues that I had. Then Sig released the P322 and I bought one of those instead. It fixed both issues that I had along with not needing $100 worth of aftermarket parts to get it running better and restore the functionality that Ruger's lawyers took away. The P322 also had 20 round magazines, better sight options, and ergonomics similar to a standard pistol. The P323 shot just fine suppressed with the only noticeable difference is there is some unburned powder blown back in your face while shooting. Otherwise I'm happy with my decision. I'll get a Ruger MK IV for tried and true with lots of aftermarket or a P322 if you want to try the new cool pistol. |

The Ruger MK series and Browning Buckmarks are still the best options. To my ear my Ruger sounds slightly quieter than my Buckmark but that’s subjective. The Buckmark has a nicer stock trigger and better feeling grip. I’d like to get a MKIV 22/45 Tactical but they have gotten rare and expensive.

I'm curious as to why some posters want to shoot subs through their pistols. I get no sonic crack from CCI SV through mine. CCI quiets are just a hair quieter, but its not "life changing" like subs through a rifle.
I made improvements to mine via TK and Volquartsen trigger parts, but didn't have to. Just wanted to tinker. I will say I shot a buddy's Sig P322 with my TBAC Td on it and I was impressed. Completely reliable with cci sv and very quiet.  Attached File |

Quote History@osprey21 I have a Buckmark that I love, and I'm on the fence between having the barrel cut and threaded vs. buying a new TacSol barrel. Any regrets? Do you miss the longer sight radius of the original configuration? Do you think the lighter aftermarket barrel would be a better choice when combined with the weight of a suppressor? |

You can shoot blazer or other high velocity rounds through a short barrel pistol, <4.5" and stay subsonic. I just got a p322 to go with several other 22's and it is really nice.
