Did you have a smoke afterwards? :)
I'm told a good suppressor on a Ruger makes it sound like dropping the hammer on an empty chamber.
I'm not too familiar with SWC, but AAC is high on my wish list. A lot will depend on what my buddy scares up at the SHOT show.
Congrats!!!!
ooooh Kay... Got in some range time with the new .22 and suppressor today. Just... Wow. Its even quieter than I remembered from last summer. Good grief. You’re right about it sounding like a hammer falling on an empty chamber. That, along with a very pleasant “Pfft” and holes just silently appear in the paper. Any quieter and I think you could hear the paper tearing down range.
And yes... I did have a cigarette afterwards. :-)
I used a rest to sight in the Trijicon red-dot, and opted to zero it on 10 yards. I figure that’s a typical backyard vermin distance. There’s quite a lot of parallax with that sight, because it sits fairly high. With zero at 10, it is about an inch low at 7 and two inches high at 20 yards. Sometime I’ll try it outdoors to find out where the far zero is. My wild guess is that it’ll peak out at 3 or so inches by 50 yards and be back down to zero at 80 or 90... But that’s pushing the limits of serviceable range for a pistol I think.
I figure for most critters from 20 to 60 yards... Just hold a couple inches low (as if that was within my skill level anyway...) and it should be usefully on target.
