![]() The outside tube is solid, no ports.Īlso, I learned a good lesson taking this apart for the photo: CLEAN THEM OFTEN and lube them before use. Not sure I understand the question about the Mist barrel. Now you got me thinking I need to chrono that same bunch of ammo in a pistol and record the results. The actual solid part of the barrel is only 9" but the whole thing is 16". 22, although I did get the standard velocity Federals to crack. That's why the Mist is more likely to be sub than my full length. You're right on barrel length and velocity. Cans like to be be dirty to give best suppression. Also, i go about 1-2k rounds between cleanings with no ill effects. Cleaning is simple with the right chemicals. My recommendation would be find one that is made of at minimum stainless steel and can be taken apart. Back when they were sealed and made of aluminum I could see them being an issue, but not anymore. 22 suppressors go, nothing should hold you back from getting one now a days. Start hacking length and velocity goes down quick as well.Īs far as. Most ratings achieved by Ammo makers is with a 16" barrel. So by default, in a pistol, all ammo is subsonic. it will shoot 10 round groups of one hole out of my Ruger PR.įor shooting critters I also tried CCI's segmented quiet and it also could not hold Minute Of Squirrel at 25 yards.Īny standard velocity ammo and a good portion of "supersonic" ammo will stay subsonic in host weapons under 8". ![]() I have found that CCI standard velocity at $23 a brick is more than quiet enough and extremely accurate out to 35 yards. While I will agree that CCI quiet is a SLIGHT bit quieter, it is not worth the money for a couple reasons.Ģ) the velocity is to low to stabilize and give good groups out of longer barrels I shoot using a Gemtech GM-22, AAC Element 2, and Dead Air Mask. I have found that using "suppressor" or "subsonic" marketed ammo does not justify the extra costs associated with it. Https :// gov / epz / wxcalc _ speedofsound ? = seemed very loud but maybe not supersonic Of course, this is just me plinking around and not some kind of nationally recognized scientific study. You can see that the Mist barrel is much slower, but then it's almost difficult to get it to shoot super sonic. I have two Ruger 10/22's - one with a Mist barrel from Gemtech and one with a regular barrel and a Tango suppressor. Here is some info I gathered just tinkering around. But with the subsonic ammo, all you could hear was the bolt, even when standing next to the gun. Now, I'm not saying it was loud enough to wake the baby from a nap, but, I could hear and recognize gunshots 1/2 mile away. We experimented with different ammo and discovered that it was the SS crack that I could hear in my yard. I called him and asked what he was shooting and he said he just got a new can for his 10/22 and was super disappointed because it was so loud. One day I heard my neighbor shooting what sounded like a 22. 22 bullet, you'd figure "how much crack could this little thing have?" but it's pretty amazing. So, that's what I learned with about $600 and a bit of screwing around. Norma Tac-22 is subsonic, shoots a bit better, just a bit louder than CCI, and is $15/500 more money, but, it will cycle the bolt on 10/22 and Tac Sol. Volquartsen Firefly works great with the CCI quiet, but, not recommended with standard velocity and it's $200 CCI Quiets are the quietest and cheapest but won't cycle. Sorry for a sort of rambling post, but, here's the bottom line: ![]() Again, the CCI would not cycle it while the Norma worked fine. I also tried both on a Glock 17 fitted with a Tactical Solutions TSG-22. The Norma runs about 1100fps while the CCI is only 700fps. It is also subsonic, and it will cycle the bolt of the standard 10/22. Volquartsen rep emailed me that they do not recommend standard velocity with their bolt.Īfter I bought a pair of FireFlys, I stumbled on Norma Tac-22 ammo. It works like a champ - as good as advertised. Then I found that Volquarten makes a FireFly bolt that is designed to work with the CCI Quiet ammo. The cheapest and easiest to get (at least for me) is CCI Quiet. I have been playing around with a bunch of different subsonic ammo. I have a couple of Ruger 10/22's, both suppressed. I wasn't sure exactly what forum to post this, since it covers bolts and ammo, and suppressors, but. I did not see similar info posted anywhere on Brian Enos forums. I stumbled on some info that I thought would be helpful, that I wanted to pass on.
