Suppressor differences....

[JD8]

Anyone have a link showing comparisons of .22 cans? I have a Gemtech Oasis on a Ruger MKIII and am looking for another .22 can on a Buckmark or maybe a 22/45.

If you already have a Thread on can why not get a good integral? In the suppressor world they are the bees knees.

The Gemtech Oasis is an integrally suppressed upper so I already have one. I know I can swap it onto a 22/45, but mainly thinking about something for a Buckmark.

AAC element 115.9
AAC prodigy 116.5

Who did the metering for these numbers and how many rounds through each? Not saying they're wrong, but I really don't think the AAC cans are THAT much better than the Spectre or Sparrow, which are considered two of the best available. I also don't think there's a 2.9 dB difference between the Spectre and Sparrow either, based on side by side comparisons I've done.

Allegedly the new Surefire S-22 can has been metered at 113dB on a P22 host with CCI standard velocity ammo with a 30 round average. Those numbers are from the manufacturer, so it would be good to get some independent testing numbers to confirm them. The Major has allegedly test fired this can, so a PM or email to him might be in order. MSRP is set for $499, which is in line with the other premium .22 cans.

I found all the above info from google searches
There are websites you can pay dues and you can find the exact info you want
For the money I think you cannot go wrong with SS sparrow or the spectre, both get good reviews over on NFA talk

I don't know if anything has been done yet, but our Major Malfunction bought a bunch of test equipment just to collect that kind of info.

Go to the reviews section and the first "sticky" will have all the info you are looking for.

I recommned the SWR spectre by the way. It is SICK quiet on a buckmark and Ruger MKIII.
