Suppressed .22 questions

[Gluemanz28]

I have a Ruger Mk III that I bought just to suppress. My next purchase will be for a M&P 22 compact. I'm told they will shoot just about anything you feed them except maybe the CCI quiet rounds.

CCI Quiet rds are not made for any semi-auto.

I have a Ruger MKIII 22/45 that I use with a Thompson Machine Zephyr. I've been able to feed cci, federal bulk, and federal match through it with no issues. I had some issues with Remington early on but I took the gun apart to install the Sam lam bushing and was able to more thoroughly clean the inside - haven't seen that issue since.

Don't forget, the Sig P250 Compact comes in .22LR, and you can then get a 9mm upper for it. Sig told me they're releasing a threaded barrel for it later in the year. It also has the barrel mounted low in the slide, so sighting won't be an issue.

I picked up a PPQ 22 from Fort Liberty in Avon last week and an SR22 from a store at the 1500. I plan on getting out to the farm tomorrow and put some suppressed rounds through both. I'll keep an eye out for a Sig. I think it would round out the "Trainer Guns" I'm putting together.

Look in this thread for a video of my recently acquired M&P 22. It's not a Compact but it shoots very well. I was shooting CCI Standard Velocity in the video with no problems. I shot some mixed stuff too without any problems. The only thing I put the CCI Quiets in are my bolt guns. Suppressed they sound softer than an air rifle.

Yup, bolt actions only. I've shot the pi$$ out of my Buckmark, and Quiets generally extract and eject but won't feed the next round. Happens maybe 10% of the time (and that's a big maybe), pretty much never back to back cycling either

Unfortunately, you probably will never just come across one in a fun shop. Between the first-gen P250 issues and bias against even its really great DAO trigger, there seems to be a spectacular lack of interest in what's turned out to be a great firearm. I had minor hiccups early on, but my P250-22 has settled into a great gun. I owe the board a review... Gotta get to that.

Thanks for the heads up. That makes it even more attractive.

In my experience, the MP22 is "the best". It feels and shoots like a normal M&P, and is easy to clean.

The Ruger is super quiet but a PITA to clean
The ati 1911, looks cool, but a PITA to clean like a regular 1911 and dirties super quick.
The sig mosquito has the worst trigger ever and the feed ramp has a lip that'll catch bullet tips. A Gemtech barrel or polishing the ramp fixes that.

Mine certainly was when I first got it but its gotten considerably easier as the parts have worn in and I've gotten more experience with it.

You are correct. That's why I let my 5 and 7 year old Grandkids shoot them in their Ruger Bearcat.

This is INGO so if I said the Mk III would shoot anything somebody would have said "Even CCI Quiet"?

Thanks for the post. I just ordered the Match Grade Kit.

Getting ready for Mrs Glue to shoot some steel plates.

I have yet to install mine, my friend has one installed and I love it. Nice trigger and what more can you say about the take down mod. It's a pleasure now.

Either the Ruger or the Browning Buckmark. I prefer the Buckmark as it's easier to clean.

I had a Walther P22 and after shooting my friends 22/45, I sold the P22 and bought one of those. I dropped a Volquartsen trigger in it and a Burris Fastfire on top. It's so much fun to shoot and the weight of the gun plus the can means the gun literally doesn't move on recoil. I want to get another "normal" style 22 again, maybe the M&P, but the 22/45 is a dream to shoot suppressed.

I agree. I took the grand son and his brother out shooting for the first time last week. They loved the 22/45. It has a red dot on it so they were hitting steel with pretty much every shot. I have 4 .22LR hosts; PPQ 22, M&P 22, SR22 and 22/45 Lite. They liked all of them (they're 6 and 7 years old!) but they liked the 22/45 best. I also let them shoot my Ruger American Rimfire. It's bolt action with a bipod. They really liked it as it was like the sniper rifle from COD. They both had great trigger control and followed the 4 rules almost to the letter. Everything was suppressed so I think that helped with their first time a lot. As we were packing up they both asked when they could go again.
