I may be looking for purchase my first suppressor next month. It likely be used in a Beretta 71 .22 and a definitely used on a Ruger MKIV .22. I’m looking for recommendations for a budget friendly model to look at.
I have an AAC Pilot that I like, But today I think I would get a model that I can disassemble for cleaning. This one cannot be disassembled by the end-user. It's plenty quiet, especially with sub sonic ammo from a rifle. From most pistols with barrels under 5 inches, I find that even "high velocity" ammo with 36 to 40 grain bullets and an advertised muzzle velocity of about 1200 ft./s or 1240 ft./s {from a rifle barrel} will actually be subsonic from that hand gun.
I really want a Silencerco 22 Switchback but haven’t been able to find them in stock yet. Maybe in 2021.
I would look into building your own from a kit. The ATF e-file form 1 process is fairly simple and is much faster than waiting on a stamp. There's some good quality titanium and stainless kits available. Some good info on the AR-15.com build your own forum. https://www.ar15.com/forums/Armory/Silencers-Build-It-Yourself/55/
Apparently ATF no like parts suppliers: https://www.ar15.com/forums/Armory/Alphabet-boys-hitting-the-suppliers-again/55-518189/
It's getting not to be. Originally, eF1s were turning around in a few weeks vs the obscene 1 year +or- for paper submissions. Now some of them are going 100+ days for "FBI delay" whatever that means.
If you look at the Google sheet the Reddit NFA forum tracks with, F1 efile for individuals runs about 35 days but 154 days for a F4.
Try Liberty Suppressors in Trenton, GA. Their .22 suppressor is easy to disassemble and you will be supporting a good, Georgia company
Most people are seeing 5 weeks for e-filed form 1. Even if it does take longer it's still faster than the 9 month turn around on form 4s. I did a form 1 last year and had it in a few weeks. My form 4 was almost exactly 9 months. I think for a .22 building your own is the way to go, especially if you're willing to buy one of the better kits.
