Friends, you know what a pistole like this is made for, with or without the thread on suppression A buddy purchased one recently and I had the pleasure of accurately popping holes in a police splatterburst silhouette pistol target @25 yards trigger pull is crisp as advertised and there is way less recoil than my Paslode nail gun ...of course if you can't put all 34 rounds (2 16 round mags + 1 in the chamber) in the thorax and head of the target at that distance using the sights on the gun you are either fucking blind or are just a shitty shot. And best of all with the .22LR ammo and suppressor I'm going to buy all you hear is this soft 'pop' when firing a round, not that you need any ear protection anyway with this piece without suppression. Even when used indoors or doing a drive by from a car. Compared with getting your eardrum abused by a 9mm or jeezus, a 12ga semi auto shotgun. Been there, done that don't wanna do it again. Fun toy, I'm gonna get me one to go varmint huntin in this here urban jungle yeee haaa! Last edited by T.Garrett; August 8th, 2019 at 10:14 PM. Reason: added new gif |

I know with higher caliber pistols like 9mm, it's recommended you use sub-sonic rounds along with your suppressor, if you're aiming for something that's quieter. I don't know if that's necessary for .22lr or not?

It is.
The issue is the sonic crack.

pop goes the weasel
I'm going through a brick of these 45 grain .22LR target shooting with suppression ...
There's a big selection of .22LR subsonic available ... https://ammoseek.com/ammo/22lr?ikw=subsonic# With .22 you can plink away all day cheap, and I've used 45gr subsonic in my Ruger 10/22 and Sig Mosquito with no problems. Quote:

Somebody once told me sub-sonic .22 ammo wouldn't cycle in a 10/22 or Mark II pistol, but that's good to know it does.

It depends on the ammo type, barrel length, and whether or not a can is attached.

Taurus once was regarded as Brazilian shit. However: lately they've been coming out with some quality firearms. I own a Taurus TH40, .40 ACP, 15 rounds in the magazine. Picatinny rail for adding stuff on the underside of the barrel assembly. I've found it very accurate and easy to shoot right out of the box. I also own a Taurus G2C 9mm, 12 rounds, 3.25 inch barrel. Nice and accurate at over 15 yards.
I have a Beretta 9mm on order, the M9A3. Picatinny rail under the barrel assembly for add-ons. This firearm has a 33 round magazine one can obtain rather cheaply, and I intend to get a few. An after-market outfit also increased the magazine capacity to 18 from 17 and I'll be picking up several of those. With my handgun and rifle collection I think I could hold off quite a few nasties if there is a SHTF scenario.

I picked up my Beretta M9A3 last Thursday. It looks very similar to the demo photo below:
I've just received the after market 18 round mags and they work perfectly. It takes every type of ammo I've tried in it, brass and aluminum, and makes a very, very wicked group at 25 yards. As I get used to it, I'm sure I can do well at 50 yards. I splattered a can of beer at a measured 100 yards, the can sitting on top of a 25 yard hill on a shooting range in Georgia, when I was 25. I used a .38 caliber Colt Cobra with a two inch barrel. Being older and my sight dimmer, I'll need some practice with my Beretta to get nice groups at 50 yards.
