re: why the interest in silencer for 22 rifles

Cool.
Once I get myself one of them gen 2 SWFA's, my gen 1 will go on my .22 with a 20moa rail. Supressor to follow after, and next year them rabbits i keep seeing every evening won't be getting away with it anymore.
Shame .17 ammo sucks now because it'd be so much easier if it were accurate enough

It really isn’t.
And I don’t think many, if any, people are going through the process just to get a .22 silencer. More like, let me get one for my .22 while I’m at it.

So while we're on this topic, I want one that i can use on .338 win mag 5.56 AR15 22lr and 17wmr.
Ok with paying alot. It doesn't look like there are many real modular options out there which is a head scratcher to me. Why can't I get the main barrel or the end cap or whatever and then a pile of parts to convert it into best fit for the application? Like how i can buy a sig trigger group and then all kinds of combinations of parts to basically have a bunch of guns with one serial #?

Silencer central had a bogo sale. Buy one for your big gun get the 22 free..just have to pay the tax stamp.

The ability to squirrel hunt a small section of land without spooking all other squirrels.

Nothing puts a stupid smirk on a gun owners face faster than shooting a .22 with a silencer for the first time.
I don’t know anyone that has done it and not bought one unless they were just afraid of the ATF.

its quieter than my pellet gun. Makes for good shooting in the neighborhood without alarming the neighbors. You can bring it deer hunting and pop squirrels while deer are eating in the food plot without spooking them.
also, because it's legal and I can.

If someone purportedly from South Texas doesn’t get it we can’t explain it to you.

It is not recommended to use rimfire ammo in a centerfire can. Rimfire ammo is very dirty, so rimfire cans are made to be disassembled and cleaned. Centerfire cans are usually welded or 3d printed metal so they are not able to be disassembled. You will foul your can up pretty quickly trying to run rimfire through a centerfire can, then you can’t take it apart and clean it.
Not to mention the internal chambering differences between something designed for the pressures/velocity of 338WM vs 22lr. The gas exiting the barrel is obviously going to behave differently between those two rounds.
If you are ok spending the money, buy a can rated for 338WM, and another one rated for rimfire. The 338WM can will work on an AR-15, but it will not be as quiet as one designed specifically for 5.56mm. You will need some sort of mounting system to swap the can between the 338 and AR. Look at Rearden, Keymo, Plan B, ect.

Alright, I've never shot one and this thread has me sold.
What gun and what can and where to start?
I have an off the shelf 10-22 but I'm ok getting something else if needed.
Since someone mentioned getting one for another gun while in the process, guess I could get one for my AR at the same time?
ETA: just recalled that I have a threaded 9mm, but priorities would still be a .22 and .223

Understood. Makes sense.

A bolt action 22 will give you “Hollywood quiet”. I picked up a savage mark ii with 16” barrel and it has become a favorite pastime of ours to sit on the back porch and shoot a spinner I have set at the treeline.

I have an omega 36m that so far I’ve used it on a 308 bolt 308 ar10 11.5” ar15 16” ar15 and glock 19 with future plans for it to love on an HK sp5. Also I may thread an H&R 35 wheelen just for fun.
As a first dip your toe into the world of suppressors I think it’s pretty good. You’d be surprised how well it works in the short configuration. Definition not the lightest or quietest on most setup but quiet when it comes to supersonic high per rounds is kinda relative.
It’s all still relatively loud. Think like framing nailer going off indoors. Not gunna make your ears ring but also not something I would say is quiet.
For someone that doesn’t have any cans yet I think it’s a good option.
I went that route because I didn’t want a dedicated 9mm can and I wanted another can to put on my 308s. I served the role well and I’m glad I didn’t spend the money on a dedicated 9mm can because that got old for me quick.
I have since gone off the deep end and am buying specific use case silencers for a bunch of my different rifles.
I believe that omega 36m is rated for 338

Thanks for the feedback.
After a few minutes on the silencer central site, I can see that in general you pay for lightweight, which I'd find a priority on a 22 or 223.
But how do you determine it's effectiveness? Is that just a factor of price?

Cool, will look into it.
I'm not looking for the utmost noise reduction possible on my centerfires. Just less noise and less recoil and maximum versitility. I've shot ARs with them before, so I know what you mean about the noise.

So weight is definitely something you pay for because that’s typically just a Function of metallurgy.
Price has many factors. Some of it is good marketing. A lot of it has to do with metallurgy and then suppressor design. 3D printed low back pressure suppressors are more costly to produce so they are typically in the 1k-1.4k range depending.
Really with suppressors you have to figure out what’s important to you. Weight, overall sound reduction (which is typically mostly a function of length and diameter) but I’ll say the technology that suppressors are designed with nowadays is light years from where it was 4 years ago so truths that used to be very good rules of thumb like low back pressure high flow cans are typically louder in an enclosed space or to standards but new tech from company’s like CAT is changing all that.
To me I think you have to figure out what you want your first suppressor to do and what flexibility you want it to have.
If you think your only going to buy 1 a run if the mill 30 cal can will probably suit you best. Can run it on all of your 300 winmag and below bolt actions and it will still perform very well on ar15.
Once you do that you’ll start to get the itch for more or not.
A $530 otter creek labs polonium 30 is very hard to beat for a conventional baffle style first suppressor.

Maximum versatility for you since your interested in suppressing 338 will be the omega 36m with a Rearden hub mount.
Then all your different guns you want to put that suppressor on would get any of the designs of the muzzle devices so you can chose between flash hiders muzzle breaks etc.
