I have a Dead Air Mask 22. Need a second 22 suppressor.

If not the Sparrow 22, then what?

Nope. One of the best 22 suppressor for the money.

Do you need to have ultimate sound suppression?

Do you already have a 9mm suppressor and 9mm pistols?

It might be worth looking at something like an Obsidian 9mm. It works really well with 22lr.

Another option for you might be the Switchback or Oculus, especially if you ever think you'll want modularity.

I have a Mask and a Sparrow. I dont remember the last time I used the Sparrow, the Mask is better in every aspect. Others I would look into since you already have a Mask:

ThunderBeast Takedown 22
CGS Siren
EA NYX
Rugged Oculus
Q El Camino
SilencerCo SwitchBack

If I had a 9mm host i would jump on that Obsidian 9. Got me thinking about it though.

I don't have a mask or a sparrow.

I have a Surefire which I hate. It suppresses just fine but the aluminum baffles are a bitch to clean.

Also have an El Camino. I love it. Very light and very quiet.

If I were buying another it would be a thunderbeast or another El Camino.

CGS Siren

Siren is phenomenal but is currently discontinued. Supply chain issue for carbon. Will be produced again in the future. To OP, get a CGS hydra AL for lightweight or Rugged Oculus or Thunderbeast TD22 if you want heavier more hard use cans. The oculus is awesome and it's what I have. I use it in the short config for rifles and long for pistols. Short config is same damage to your ears (basically none) on a rifle as the long configuration on the Oculus.

Is made out of aluminum? If so I would avoid due to it being a pain to clean. I would get another mask

Looks like its SS. It supposed to have a first round pop. Again I would opt for the mask

I looked really hard at the oculus and had decided that was my decision.

Got to the store and another that was on my list was the Dead Air Ghost. The dealer had both at the time so I was able to really go over them both and thread them on a couple of guns at the store.

The ghost is weighted more on the gun end where the oculus is more balanced. The ghost felt better on the gun to me.

I assume you mean the Mask. Ghost is their 45 can and it sucks compared to the Obsidian 45. Mask is good but Dead Air is plagued with QC issues. I wouldn't buy anything they make.

I had in my head that the Oculus was a .45 for some reason.

My Ghost has been very good so far, fingers crossed.

Obsidian is their pistol can nomenclature. Obsidian 9 or Obsidian 45.
