Hahaha! Well, as I was shopping a couple of weeks ago, watching and deciding, the cans were disappearing as I sat there, pondering. I originally wanted just a cheap 22 can(under $300) and after two days, the only thing left was the RA 22. So, I bought it. It's new so, no reviews...
But, I'm gonna try it out. Single core design. I'm not a silencer maven at all, but at $200, I figure, why not?

I would get the Gemtech or the YHM. In that order.

Both of those companies are well established and those supressors are well proven.

Gemtech

Thanks for the info. I'll have to think it over.

Here's what's going to happen; I'll get a 22LR can and put it on my 10/22 charger. Then I'll decide I need a 22/45 with a threaded barrel, so I'll buy one of those. Then I'll want a can for my Glock 21, which will require me to buy another barrel. On and on ...

[EDIT - And - this is going to further delay my ability to get a 1911, which is currently on hold!]

I have the stinger. What's the problem with it? Damn good price too.

FYI, the 22/45 won't cycle with subsonic 22. Ask me how I know.

I beg to differ. It depends on the subs you shoot. CCI quiets wont cycle a GD thing. Gemtech subs cycle every host i have tried. CCI SV are not called subs, but are subsonic and cycle. My experience with a 22/45 will cycle with just about everything I have tried except the Quiets.
Oh and the Remington subs suck so bad I gave a brick of them away. They were really dirty.

Nice to know. The Gemtech is really light weight which is a plus. Will have to think it over - but not too long.

Good to know. I've only shot the CCI. They are crazy quiet out of the stinger, but single shot only. I'll try to find some gemtech. The CCI are worthless.

That's interesting, wonder how the 10/22 charger will do?

Sundazes is probably right. Just don't use the CCI subs. My 10/22 isn't threaded so can't speak from experience.

OMG! Same here. Got a Spectre for my 10/22 (had to get a threaded barrel for that first), got the 22/45, then a CZ 452 American. Slippery slope!

SKroh · Jun 29, 2016

FYI: Duffy's has Spectre IIs in stock.

I would choose Regulator since its awesome and deal with cleaning an SS monocore.

YHM Stinger over the Gemtech, only because it will be easier for me to clean by tossing the SS baffles in a wet tumbler. Gemtech is an aluminum monocore which means no steel pin tumbling or sonic cleaners.

FWIW - I have a Dead Air Mask in jail and chose it over all those on your list.

PS - There is a Dead Air dealer in Baltimore who got in a few Masks not too long ago. Should be plenty of time to get the F4 started. PM me if interested.

I think I know that dealer, and I have a Form 4 for one of those Masks sitting in front of me at this moment. He still has at least one left the last I spoke to him, though, and his prices are awesome.
