First suppressor

**smoke-wagon** · March 12th, 2015, 04:53 PM

Hello, I'm going to be filing my trust soon and I'll be looking for my first suppressor. I am thinking rimfire to run on my foot m4 .22 and I'm also thinking about picking up a S&W mp 22 compact.

Is the yhm mite worth the $200 or should I buy once and cry once and save for the silencerco sparrow? Something else? Thanks.

No, the Mite is not worth the price or the tax stamp. Save up and buy better. Sparrow, Spectre, Element, Regulator and others.
Look for:
suppression/first round pop (lack of)
easy of cleaning
size/weight/material
price
....in that order. No market for a used half ass suppressor If you don't like.

That's what I figured, thank you. I read some bad reviews online but a friend was talking me into it and how could you pass up a new can for $200? But I'll most likely save for the sparrow.

I have an AAC Element and love it. It's full-auto rated if that matters. You can take it apart and clean it as well.

Whatever you buy make sure if its 22 its easy to take apart and the internals are somewhat stout the 22 makes a lot more mess inside then any other caliber. Like others have said the resale market on a used can is horrible and a used cheap can is non existent. You will probably shoot a 22 can more then anything else, so buy something good.
