I have a $400 gift certificate with Silencer Shop. Thinking about a 10/22 integral for one of my actions. Any experience/recommendations between the Thompson or Gemtech (non takedown)?

I like that the Thompson is ported. Price is close enough to not be a factor. I'm leaning Thompson Operative, but can't seem to pull the trigger. Already have 3 other rimfire suppressor (Sparrow, GM-22, Element 2).

Thanks!
 
SBX barrel works pretty well for me. Nice and light also

Liberty makes the Pinnacle 2 and it's a solid setup. Not a fan of Liberty cans in general, but when it comes to .22's, they have their shit together. FWIW, their new Regulator is actually (no shit) quieter than the integral. Go figure. But the Regulator is one of the best performing .22 cans made. Period.

If I were you though, I'd get an integral bolt gun --a 10/22 with the best can is still louder than say, a PPK/S with a mediocre one. The action is kinda loud and you can't suppress that practically. I wanted the bolt barrel Thompson makes but I got it last year when I was trying to beat 41f. I have an integral 10/22 but would still like to have a bolt because of this.

I have 2 suppressed 10/22's, one is SBR'd to 4.5", the integral is 16" but the actual barrel length is 4.5" too, the barrel itself is cored out for the monocore baffle stack.
