Just remember you don’t need to shoot subs out of a pistol.

I dont want to use a red dot. Its going to get used in sub zero temps and I dont trust them for that. I want iron sights, tall enough for a dead air mask

Looking hard at For System Pluto or Pluto micro. Can't decide between the two.

Whatever you decide to get, get it. I wish I had gotten a .22 suppressor a very long time ago. People debate about whether supressors for supersonic calibers are worth it, but NOBODY ever debates that .22 suppressors are awesome.

I put my money on a Ruger 22/45. The suppressor is a SilencerCo Spectre 2, but it was discontinued. Now the Ruger has a SilencerCo Sparrow on. All hi-velocity 22 LR ammo comes out of the short barrel at subsonic velocities. In my gun, subsonic ammo is a little more quiet the hi-velocity ammo. My Ruger is fed CCI Subsonic HP's. Keep us updated.

The Ruger MK4 is a great gun.

Until you break it down and can't put it back together.

I have a P17 and it's been pretty damn reliable. The sights are ok. The gun is really light so I like it for my pond fishing pistol in my shoulder strapped tackle box rig.

ETA: I don't shoot mine with a suppressor however.

As long as the sight is at least ~1.1" over the bore it should work

I have:

Rugar SR22 - 22LR 10rd magazine

KelTec PMR30 22WMR 30 magazine

Not sure if these will work for you but I have zero complaints.

The mk4 is extremely easy to reassemble.
The mk1 and mk2s i have are a pain but after doing a few times back to back they became manageable

The .22lr subsonic loads may cause cycling problems. At least for me. Doesn't matter so much for plinking, but in a more serious situation, I wouldn't want those.

Find an older standard Ruger, 60-70s, and it’ll be accurate and always cycle.
