Hello all. I've been thinking about getting a fun little pocket plinker as a can host. Something pocketable, but not semi-auto (already have some of those). I'm hoping someone sells a single-barrel darringer with a threaded barrel, or something like that. I'd actually considered one of those silly .22 lifecard pistols, but they have permanently axed the threaded barrels for them. Any ideas?

Could you not get the Lifecard and have a third party (ADCO or equivalent) add a threaded insert? Just like what Lifecard did?

Decades ago I saw a 22lr pen gun AOW with a suppressor that looked like a Monte Cristo tubo for sale. With your requirements I'd get one of those.

The small Beretta auto. Model 21?  There is one on the EE.  I understand it’s a special deal to get those threaded.

Maybe some little Israeli model, intgral silenced, transportable,  disguised as a bicycle tire pump?

That gun is one of the most fun suppressed pistols I've ever shot. I need to get one someday.

I'm considering it, but hesitant to be a first tester on such a configuration. I am a little concerned that there might be a structural issue that caused them to drop the idea, like the barrel bring too thin or cracking or something.

Love these threads. OP specifically states no semi-auto because he already has some.

So what does someone suggest? A semi-auto.

I want something not a semi, so there isn't action noise. I already have a threaded 22 beretta. It's fun.

I'm sure they wouldn't sell the barrels if they were remotely unsafe. Or would've recalled the sold ones if they found out after the fact.

I think they had a limited run done (probably by a third party) to gauge interest.

They didn't. The only one I know of was a special show/review one. Never seen one in the hands of a normal consumer.

Why? I mean, you can pick up a perfectly serviceable .22lr semiauto pistol for under $300 last I checked.

You could get a Keystone Cricket pistol, chop it down, and make a smaller grip/stock for it. There's some pretty cool 3D printed options out there that'd be easy to modify

Get a Phoenix arms HP22. It's a good chance it won't work properly and cycle, so it won't be semi auto.

What you’re looking for is a weird, niche gun with a nonexistent commercial market. You’re probably going to have to be the guinea pig on it.

Honestly, I love weird, niche suppressor hosts. And if I were looking for something within your parameters, I would decide what gun you want first, then find a gunsmith that will do it, and expect it to cost 3 times what it should because it’s a one off job.

Contact Cotton Branch Custom and have him make you a single shot silenced .22lr pen thingy. Check out the stuff he makes, I think it's exactly what you're looking for:

I’ve been wanting to form 1 a super small, mind you ineffective, can for my North American arms 22lr revolver. I don’t think it would be “quiet” but I think it would be fun.

Pick a semi auto.

Replace the recoil spring with a heavy enough one that doesn’t allow the bolt to come back.

Cycle bolt manually with each shot.

Just get a 21A Covert and call it good. It’s tiny but still practical enough to hit what you’re aiming at.

I think I love you. It works fine? I may just do a custom threading job on one if it does.

You could buy a cheap two shot derringer, render one barrel inoperable, trim it, and then thread the functional barrel. Should work fine, but you’ll need a decent machinist to make the working barrel concentric.
