I’ve been trying to do my research on rimfire suppressors. About to dip my toes in to NFA and suppressors for the first time. I’ve been advised (I am sure rightly) to buy once, cry once.
A $200 tax stamp rather encourages this. Any thoughts or suggestions either based on something you’ve owned, tried or 2nd hand. On the expensive, but good backing and great reputation end are SilencerCo Switchback and AAC Element 2.
I’ve also run across companies like Rebel, who have a darned seductive price, but I’ve heard troubling things. Mostly from people who haven’t tried the suppressor.
I would like something capable of handling 22wmr. I don’t own one, but if for some crazy reason I only ever own one suppressor, is like to be able to use a 22wmr some day to take care of larger pests/longer range. Right now I want a can for fun at the range and taking care of pests on my 4.4 acres and higher the neighbors less while doing it. Subs work just fine against fox, raccoons and groundhogs at the distances I need to use them. If my dreams come true and I upgrade to 20 or 30 acres on retirement, I might some year be dealing with more like 100+ yds for that kind of stuff and both the power of the cartridge needed will be higher and bothering neighbors with a SS crack is less of an issue, but still want to keep it quieter than unsuppressed use.
I’ve also looked at the Ruger SR suppressor.
Money is an object, which is why ~$700 after stamp has me having some pause, $400 after stamp is a heck of a lot easier to stomach.
That said, if it ends up being my only one, or laws change and an avenue to get another one closes...I am not sure I want to regret having “saved” $200-300.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
