I’ve got a suppressed Ruger that is no louder than a very soft finger snap.

Sorry, but I don’t buy it. These products are carefully measured with scientific equipment, and have measurable db reductions from the standard sound of a 22LR. What you describe may fit your perceptions compared to the expected sound, but they don’t fit measurable reality.

Post a youtube video of you shooting and snapping, for us to judge for ourselves. You’ll probably be surprised.

I happen to have a decent library of books and articles on the subject, and am personally and professionally acquainted with several designers and manufacturers of suppressors, as well as owning more than a few.

Uh, the last thing in the world I want to do is post a video of myself!

I just renewed my driver’s license and the clerk told me that with their face recognition software they’ll be able to scan a video or picture of a group or person and the software will identify them!

Not that I did anything illegal, all my cans were legally purchased while I was a CIII dealer, I just don’t want the .gov to start identifying all the pro-gun types in the U.S. so’s they can keep a database of potential dissidents.

And it IS that quiet, I use subsonic German rounds that in themselves are extremely quiet...trust me on this, everyone who’s fired it says it’s no louder than a soft cough, or finger snap.

I’ve got other .22 cans that are louder, a .45 suppressor with locking mechanism so the slide doesn’t move, and I’ve got a AWC Thundertrap for my .300 magnum that quiets it almost to a suppressed .45, although the sonic crack is EXTREMELY loud!

Some of my cans work with grease, others are dry...

Do you own any of Doc Dater’s stuff? Gemtech makes some really nice cans...
