KSdefender Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 I used a trust for the first two cans I got, so I'm somewhat committed. What I can't get past for my recently bought .22LR is paying $450-600 for a suppressor for a $130 rifle. :) Maybe I should have invested in a decent pellet rifle that I could use on the squirrel infestation within city limits.

When I got my can they had a promo for a .22 for next to nothing,then the guy tells me it was finicky with certain ammo so I took a pass. It was that or get used to running single shot which isn't the end of the world. Pellet guns especially the one that gets charged with air are very powerful, except they are the price of a center-fire rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMike Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 Recently got a Banish 22 for a fairly nice Ruger 10/22 with a heavy long SS barrel. Not as quiet as I had hoped - definitely not "Hollywood" quiet. On the plus side, it is definitely quiet enough to shoot without hearing protection. So no need to find plugs or muffs before popping that groundhog in the garden. Also, I'm wondering if I need to find slower ammo. The rifle groups well with CCI Minimags 36g hollow points rated at 1260 fps at sea level. I was thinking the speed rating was an optimal rating, so it would probably actually be below the speed of sound (1116 fps) at sea level. But I'm pretty sure its "cracking" the sound barrier. Sounds louder down range than at the gun. The Ruger with the heavier longer barrel may also be getting the full speed out of the bullets. I don't have anyway to measure it. I also recently learned that the speed of sound decreases with elevation. The lake cabin where I'm at now is about 600 feet above sea level and my home where the ground hogs roam is about 2150. So the speed of sound will be a bit lower the higher up I'm shooting. Luxury problems for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMike Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 Pretty sure I have some standard velocity CCI .22 in the hoard that is rated at 1060 fps. I'll try that next with the Banish 22. But right now it's time to get ready for bow season. Less than 2 weeks away in SC and I friggin left my bolts at the lake house in VA. Drive 9 hrs round trip to retrieve or order duplicates from Midway. They always ship fast (though not always free). Sux to be getting old and forgetful. Better than the alternative.

I still get a snap outta mine too, My My problem is my fn502 doesn’t like non jacketed 22 and most the subsonic isn’t. That or it doesn’t have enough pop to cycle the slide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or it doesn’t have enough pop to cycle the slide Recently ordered some CCI Small Game Subsonic .22 LR 40gr Lead Hollow Point for the canned 10/22. I've heard folks say these rounds also worked well in suppressed semi-auto handguns including the Taurus, Sig and Browning, but that's hearsay - not personal knowledge. You might want to try to find some CCI Uppercut 22LR Ammo 32 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point. It is specifically designed for suppressed pistols. Rated at 960 fps I confess to being a CCI when it comes to .22LR ammo. It has just consistently performed in my experience, when others fail. I have entertained the thought of getting a threaded .22LR pistol to get dual use out of the Banish 22 can. I really liked the feel of the Ruger Mark IV Lite, but it's pushing $600 after tax, and I'd want to put a Holosun red dot on it - because my eyes are getting old - so that about $300 more after tax. Too much squeeze for the juice. Especially with Kamalaism apparently on it's way. I think I'll invest my money in fish hooks and canning jars instead. In the face on Venezuelan-like inflation, I will just eat what I can hunt and gather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much I’ve thought about getting a 509 even tho I don’t own anything in 9mm, it feels so good in my hand! i heard of a guy dispatching a coon with one suppressed in his back yard in the city and no one batted an eye.
