I've Bought a Muzzle Suppressor

I finally got everything in place so I could buy my first muzzle suppressor this past Saturday at Michael's Menswear in Homer, LA. I considered ordering one sight unseen from Silencer Shop, but instead decided to go w/ a dealer. It would've been a $30 cheaper to order it off the internet (no sales tax and lower price) than buy from the store, but for my first one I wanted to actually see and handle the suppressors. I wanted to start w/ one for a 22 LR. I'd pretty much narrowed it down to the Sparrow and the Spectre, both from Silencerco.As it turned out, the dealer had both in stock. Both were also rated for other calibers, including the 17 Mach 2 and 17 HMR. The Sparrow's a lot easier to break down, but cost a good bit more. I bought the suppressor using a newly established gun trust. The dealer said their most recent applications have been coming in after a 4 month wait. Now I need to get my Ruger 77/22 barrel threaded. I'll provide a review once I've shot it.

Wait times are down but I don't think they are down to 4 months. Probably closer to 6 months. However, if you buy another can at the 3 month mark, the time will fly by.

Approval times are running 4-5 months right now.
What length and contour barrel does your 77/22 have? I ask because I had a CZ 455 with a 20" barrel and small profile threaded. When I screwed on the suppressor the shots were all over the place. After some testing and trying different things it was determined that the weight of the suppressor affected the harmonics of the 20" barrel. Got a 16" barrel with the same contour and it's a tack driver now.
If your 77/22 has a heavy barrel this won't affect you.

You will be very happy with the Sparrow. Here is a pic with mine on my Ruger 22/45.
