I've got a .22 can in silencer jail. I plan on putting it on the M&P 15-22 mostly but I think a handgun would be fun to have as well. Most of the .22s handguns I have shot don't cycle all that great. Even the rifles I've shot struggle except the M&P. Love the M&P. Bought it on advice from this board.

I see FN has a FNH 502 tactical that has a threaded barrel. Anyone shot one of those and is it worth a crap? I don't really have a "budget" per se but would like to keep it around $500 or less unless something is that much better for more.

The Taurus and the keltec 22s are cheap(ish) and well reviewed, and come with threaded barrels

The Taurus might be the most well-reviewed weapon they’ve ever had. By far

Ruger 22/45


I picked up a used Mark III 22/45 recently, put a cheap red dot on it and got a chance to sight it in last weekend. At 25 yards I can cut holes with it, and I can't shoot a pistol for shite.

I would have held out for a Mark IV, but couldn't pass up the price

Will just comment on what I own.

Browning Buckmark. Mine is old. Bought it in the 90s and didn't have a threaded barrel. Several years ago I replaced the barrel with a Tactical Solutions barrel. Saved a ton of weight and still stupid accurate. Very reliable for a .22.

S&W M&P compact .22. This little gun is pretty great. Accurate for its size and very reliable. Not too bad on price either.

Sig P322. I within the last 2 weeks sent this one back to Sig to get it worked on and have not taken out to shoot it since I got it back. The slide lock-back lever would not hold the slide to the rear. They fixed that. The magazine has to be loaded a particular way otherwise you can have rounds that won't feed. That gets pretty frustrating. But, the gun is very accurate. Hope it performs better.

Several revolvers and my favorite is a Ruger Single Six. None will suppress though.

Bought the same from my brother a few years ago, really fun pistol, I just got a volquartsen competition kit and bolt to put on it, it’ll be interesting to see what kind of difference those make.

My walther ppq M22 threaded eats anything. I don’t think it’s ever failed to feed.

Also have a Ruger 22/45 with tac solutions upper that is great too

Sig saur makes the P322 handgun. 22lr comes with optics cut ready for red dot and rail. Also comes with threaded barrel and flat and curved trigger. 2 magazines and hold 20+1. I dont know how it cycles with a can on it but the handgun is about 400 bucks brand new.

Walther PPQ

Production was discontinued last year. Did you get the PPQ-TAC with the threaded barrel?

It probably is threaded but not 100% sure. It was the 5" barrel model

My Taurus TX22 with a suppressor has been flawless, believe it or not. Unless it’s extremely anemic ultra quiet rounds, it cycles well. Awesome gun especially for the price.

I have been shocked at how great my Taurus has been. I expected constant jams etc and it never happens. I clean it often so that probably helps.

Maybe you never shot it, held it, or looked at it yet.

Seriously though, if it has a little protective cap on the front end of the battle that unscrews and reveals barrel threads, then it is threaded. The OP was about a 22 pistol that would work well with a suppressor.

H&R all-steel 9 shot revolver made in 1952 for me.

Old school is cool and reliable.

whaddya know, I checked and there it was. Much more low profile and unobtrusive than the cap on the Dagger.

Taurus TX22 competition or SCR is good. Also can't go wrong with a Ruger Mark IV.
