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? 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..... Thanks!! |

M&P 22 Compact
Sig P322 One benefit of a pistol is the barrel is short enough to make bulk pack ammo subsonic, so save the standard velocity for rifles. |

Another vote for the Ruger Mk IV
I got a 22/45 tactical with a DA Mask. It’s an awesome combination. Ruger seems to be the only mfg’er serious about making a quality 22 pistol. All others seem like cobbled afterthoughts made just to round out their product offerings. |

Smith & Wesson .22 Victory
Super accurate, Easy to take apart and put together. Holster options out there. Balance is perfect and so is the grip angle for me. All of my other suppressor hosts in .22 are now sitting in the back of the gun safe. I only shoot this thing now. ETA: Yes the same can, and it is nice and quiet. |

If you want REALLY cheap, Bass Pro is clearancing out the Walther P22 in order to make room for the updated version. Mine was $245.
2 10 round mags and a damn tiny gun. They don't deal well with very high round counts (shot my first one so much the slide wore itself out) but I consider it better accuracy wise than the TX22. a pistol I had to replace the barrel on due to leading. Still found out that it grouped like crap. Sold it to our pest control guy. Another cheap and suprisingly decent little gun is the Keltec P17. That one was $189 with 17 rd magazines. |

i had a 502tac with holosun and while it’s fun to plink with, i’ve had ejection/ftf issues. sent it back, they tested it and said it was gtg.
i still have occasional issues and clean it after every shoot w it. i’d prob get it again. and yes, i’ve tried multiple ammo types, as did FN. |

Find as new of a S&W 422/622 as you can find. Bore runs along the bottom of the slab barrel. Readily adapts to suppessor. No need for suppessor height sights. Uses Model 41 mags. Super reliable. Loves Stingers.

I was super impressed with the TX 22 because it is accurate and reliable with any kind of ammunition you put through it. Also, it has the thread adapter included in the box. I don’t understand why so many people are recommending the Ruger mark iv. I guess the fact that it jams constantly and is super ammo, sensitive, doesn’t matter for a fun blinker, but I like my guns to be reliable.

You really can't go wrong with either. The Ruger Mark IV is nice but a little heavy. Able to take down in 3 seconds. The TX.22 Cpmpetition with a red dot is a wonderful combo.
I have both and use the Taurus more. You can extend the mag to 24. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wmagrush: Affordable: Taurus TX22. And surprisingly well designed. |

Ruger MKIV for the win. Many of the 22s are made if pot metal and not very durable. I had a Walther that literally fell apart after several hundred rounds. The Sig mosquito isnt much better. You also need adaptors for suppressors. The Browning 22s are also very nice and come with the barrel threaded. |
