My New Suppressor/Handgun Combo, Update w/ "First Blood."

Hey guys,
My first muzzle suppressor (a Silencerco Spectre 2) arrived at the end of April. I was surprised I only had to wait 3 mos. Since I didn't have a gun w/ a threaded barrel, I decided to buy a Ruger 22/45 Lite. Things have been busy so I've only shot it a little, but I'm pleased. Here are the first groups I shot after getting it sighted in. The groups were shot at 25 yds from a sandbag rest. The 2 groups on the left were shot w/ a Burris 2-7X scope; the target on the right was shot w/ factory open sights. The groups on the left were Remington Subsonic (5 shots a little low and to the right) and some 35 year old Federal HP's (4 shots a little higher up). I found it to be VERY sensitive to placement of the front sand bag; when the front sand bag was touching the suppressor the gun shot 2" higher at 25 yds. I'm very encouraged and look forward to playing around w/ it some more. I only have a few of the SS rounds left. Next I'm going to try Remington HP "Golden Bullets" and W/W HP's since I have a good supply of both. In the pic, the gun is set up for "night time urban animal control" w/ a green flashlight and pressure switch. Sorry the pic's a little fuzzy.

What's your barrel length? With a 4.5" barrel I would imagine it should keep much of the 1280fps stuff subsonic. At least it does on an AR. 4.5" seems to be the sweet spot on keeping most stuff subsonic out of suppressed AR's. 4" and you are golden.

nice setup. my next rimfire can will probably be a spectre. cant beat those click-together baffles
only thing that sucks about silencerco rimfire cans is the horrendous FRP.

Went on a hunt tonight. After a brief time, I saw a coon at 3 different spots along the creek, but it wouldn't cross the creek. There was light wind at my back so I wondered if that made it so cautions. It finally crossed the creek close to the bait. It grabbed the bait (a small sandwich that was spoiled) and ran off so quickly it left half the bread. I squeaked and it stopped, but was behind a tree. It went back into the woods across the creek. After a few minuets I scanned w/ the green flashlight and saw it standing at the edge of the woods across the creek about 35 yds away. When the crosshairs settled in the high shoulder/neck region I pulled the trigger. I thought I saw it roll down the side of the creek, but didn't hear it hit the water so I wasn't sure. After waiting a few minutes I walked to the creek and found it in the creek. It was a decent sized female. Off to a good start w/ the new gun/suppressor combo.
