I'm in the process of picking up a sparrow22 for a rifle I have. Unfortunately, I don't have any .22lr pistols with threaded barrels on them. What are some good hosts for a suppressor that don't cost an arm and a leg.
This would just be for plinking around the house. I just want something that will feed reliably with standard velocity .22lr ammo. Any suggestions? Thanks!! |

I was looking around on PSA....and they have all kinds of sub $500 .22lr pistols with threaded barrels....FN, Ruger, S&W, ATI, etc.
That FN 502 Tactical looks like a nice pistol..... |

the sig is pretty nice. comes optic ready and threaded barrel.
I've got an m&p22, and its not bad. been reliable but the threaded barrel insert isn't ideal and not optics ready. |

Cheap, compact, threaded barrel, 3 mags, shoots great for me. Kel-Tec P17.
IIRC, it was around $170 from PSA. I’ve seen them for $200 +/- locally. |

Volquartsen… Ruger platform, far beyond a standard ruger. I no longer even grab my rugers. You can buy multiple rugers like many here have and still not scratch the itch. Volquartsen is Buttah

I really like my Taurus TX-22 Compact. They are relatively inexpensive. The short barrel keeps cheap bulk ammo subsonic and with hi-cap mags it's a lot of fun to shoot. It's always annoyed me that most 22LR pistols have only 10rd mags.

I’ve been looking at adding 1-3 more 22lr pistols. My kids are at that age they can graduate from BB guns and with the quick form 4 times it seems like a perfect time to get some more 22lr pistols and silencers in the collection(suppressed 22 is best 22)
I want something that is similar to a 9mm handgun in size and controls and can take a rds(sorry G44, you’d be a no brainer if I could mount a dot) Thinking TX22  Or FN 502 tactical  A Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Leaning towards the Silencer shop edition.  But may go with a plain Jane model and have it cut and threaded on my own, price will end up being close  And something tiny. Beretta bobcat has always seemed cool  But the LCP with a threaded barrel is also intriguing  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bobfig: funny enough palmetto just emailed out the walther p22q for $230 https://i.imgur.com/hk9wG00.jpg Seams like a great price since I paid 189 back in 2010 or 11 I'd FO @ only 40 more bux 14 years later. But I bought local so no transfer or shipping fee that all needs taken into account. Ya no optic on the P22 but I do have the factory laser mounted on mine. Both my MKII's started life as taper barrels I cut, sleeved, & threade, both @ 4.5 inches to keep supers sub and to keep nice lines between the barrel and can. Now they both ust look like 10 gov target models with the can on it. One is the NRA Aniversary gun. Caught some slack for chopping it due to being a limited run but they made 250K in white grips so they were/are common enough to me to chop it. Added a dot sight to one and fiber optic open sights to the other. Also swapped out the white grips for the OEM black panels. Edit Check that ad on the P220 and make sure it has a factory threaded metric muzzle so you only need the 20.00 adapter and not a whole new barrel. Pix doesn't show the biz end of the barrel and no description since it's a screen shot not a link. |

Taurus tx-22 is awesome and runs pretty much all ammo. I have both the competition and compact models. The compact isn't the most accurate, but acceptable for a cheap pistol.
If you want something considerably nicer, maybe a Volquartsen. My buddy had his new FN at the range last week. Looks and feels like a nicer gun. Pretty accurate. Many types of failures with multiple ammo types, both suppressed and unsuppressed. Maybe it's just the one he got, but it's a piece of shit. |

Great info, thanks! I was initially looking at the TX-22 competition but the compact is a lot less money. I like the >10rd capacity and the ability to mount a dot plus the size similar to a “real” gun makes it really compelling. Good to know about the FN. I guess all the Umerex 22s are pretty similar. I’ve been happy with my P22 but it’s not without its quirks. Volquartsen has been calling my name. Not sure if I can justify 4 figures right off the bat for a 22. My local dealer has a mini mamba upper in the case for ~$500 so maybe I’ll get a more modest 22/45 and upgrade over time. It may cost a little more in the long run but if Mk IVs are anything like ARs spare parts have a habit of turning themselves into complete guns pretty quickly. |

I have an SR22, a MK3 22/45 and a Sig P322 that I use with my .22 cans, the 22/45 is good, but the Sig is by far my favorite, 20rd and 25rd mags are a plus. You have to follow the directions when loading the mags, but it's straight Forward, it's my preferred armadillo medicine to keep in the buggy when I'm riding around.

It may cost a little more in the long run but if Mk IVs are anything like ARs spare parts have a habit of turning themselves into complete guns pretty quickly.  The competition model seems a bit more robust and more accurate. I've had that for a few years or so and it has probably 3-4,000 rounds through it. I like it a little better than the Buckmark, which mostly just sits in the safe. The Buckmark was a significantly more expensive pistol, and has lots of upgrades.  The TX-22 compact frame, trigger and so forth are very similar to the competition design. So I'm not surprised that it runs too. I've only had the compact a few weeks and only shot a few hundred rounds through it. I prefer the slide mounted optic over the fixed barrel mount on the competition model. The other difference about the compact, that I still question, is the barrel. It's a surprisingly narrow pencil design. Still with shipping and tax, mine was $314. The black models are even a bit cheaper. For that amount of money, it seems a no brainer to me, even if it's less accurate. |
