[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Which .22/suppressor combo?

Posted: 1/18/2006 3:37:20 PM EDT

Hey all,
Well, I think I'm going to venture into the world of suppressors. I've decided I'd like a .22/can setup. I've heard of most of the big manufactures and have to do more research on it. However, I'm not sure as to what "platform" would be best. I have Ruger MkII's, a Browning Buckmark, and of course 1911's and a 10/22. I KNOW I want a detachable can (more flexible).

Here are some options (poll coming later)

1911/Marvel conversion
Buckmark
Buckmark with Pac-lite upper
Ruger MkII
Ruger MkII with Pac-lite upper
Ruger MkIII 22/45 (I never actually thought I'd like the looks of a 22/45, but this looks much more refined than the MkII version)
Ruger MkIII 22/45 with Pac-lite upper
CZ75 kadet

Main criteria are durability, accuracy, quietness.
Thoughts?

P22 with 3.5 barrel. Then wait a couple of months and get either a quick connect warrior or pilot. This is my next setup.

Started with my P22 and AAC Pilot. It came threaded which was a big plus.

I'm currently getting my Ruger 22/45 (MK II) threaded for the Pilot. I ordered a target sear ($18) for the Ruger to improve the trigger. I also have a 2-6x Bushnell scope for it.

I think the CZ Kadet would be my next choice. It is developing a following among guys who have detachable cans.

There is nothing like a Kadet .22! Except maybe the 1911 Marvel conversion.

I just bought a NIB "suppressor ready" CZ-75 Kadet from TROS.

Must have. I just shot an email to Mark to see what it's gonna take.

How much are those Kadet's running?

Ruger MKII. Barrel threading by Noveske:

ikorman,

I'm sure that wasn't cheap for the Noveske job. What did that cost if you don't mind ? It looks great, BTW.

Thanks for the replies so far guys. I don't have the P22 as an option mainly because from all the reports I've heard, they're not as durable/reliable/accurate as the Ruger, Browning, CZ offerings.

For those with the CZ Kadet setups, how do you like 'em? I know Hineline has a Marvel setup. Does anyone else?

thanks

I saw these for $ 299 last month (factory non-threaded barrel). That's the cheapest I've seen them. The 1911/Marvel is a fairly expensive setup. The Buckmark with Pac-Lite barrel is a good combination and affordable. My Buckmark has an excellent trigger from the factory.

No problems w/ my p22/pilot setup yet,EXCEPT, the 1.5" of rifleing I somehow managed to ruin near the muzzle. Never done that before. S&W fixed for free, no out of pocket at all, but didn't say boo about the cause.
I'm happy w/ the pistol and S&W

I bought a Kadet kit with extended and threaded barrel from Mark McWillis at www.trosusa.com for $385. He does great work!

$160, return shipping included. The work is phenomenal. You can't tell where the metal was joined AT ALL. I still don't know where the mark is supposed to be.

Gee....I wonder why mine is not on the list.....

TEC-22, TAC 67 Suppressor..
Okay, I admit, this is ugly, even in the dark....

I bought the TAC 67 for my P22 and my M11/9, but I had this old TEC22 just laying there, and it was already threaded........

Unless you already have the spare 1911 "lower" lying around

I've got the Ruger MkII/Pac-Lite/Gemtech Outback II combo:

It wears a JPoint now instead of the big red dot. I love this setup. The weight and balance are very good, quiet and very reliable with the Remington bulk packs.
