i don't own any silencers, i just had a random thought earlier today and was wondering if anyone would have an answer for me.

lets say you had a 9mm silencer that fit the threads on a .22 caliber gun. when you fired the .22 through the 9mm silencer, would it still reduce the noise?

i know if it was switched where you shot a 9mm through a .22 silencer you would have shrapnel flying and possible injuries.

Here's a video that we made to show what .22 sounds like through a 9mm can:

.22 suppressors have 1/2x28 threads and so do most 9mm suppressors.

I just put a wipe with 1/8 inch hole for 22 in my 9mm and go for it.

How do the wipes effect your accuracy? A friend of mine has an old Sionics 9mm can with wipes as well and his accuracy is terrible with the can. Not really noticable up close, but past 25yds it is really noticable.
