Is that a question? If so, no it's a Thompson Machine Zephyr-L .22rf 1/2-28 threaded.Integrated barrel suppresor for a ruger!
With the qualification for an RMR, then you'll want either the new FNH 502, or something with a pic rail on top, like the Ruger MKIV 22/45 Tactical.Looking for best compromise of most quiet, high capacity, reliability, and RMR ready is a plus.

You do know that Nic Taylor sells 16 round upgrades for Kimber 1911 .22LR conversion magazines, right? 16 rounds seems like high-capacity to me.You all read the part where the OP requested high capacity, right?
That disqualifies any Ruger, Volquartsen, Browning, S&W, or 1911 conversion.
All that's left that fits ALL of OP's qualifications is the new FN 502 or the Taurus TX22 Competition. The 502 hasn't been on the scene for any long term reports of reliability, even though it is basically just a Walter P22 in a new fancy dress. The Taurus TX22 Competition is a fantastic pistol. I love my TX22...it's a great shooter. 16rd mags, great trigger, and it has been 100% reliable with good quality ammo. Galloway Precision makes a +9 extension, making it a 25rd magazine! The Competition model has the red dot mount covered, plus it does not move with the slide...it's mounted to the fixed barrel.
Does he make a 25rd magazine, like you can get for the TX22? Kinda makes 16rds seem like low capacity....You do know that Nic Taylor sells 16 round upgrades for Kimber 1911 .22LR conversion magazines, right? 16 rounds seems like high-capacity to me.

No, but that Taurus won't get through all 25 without a hiccup. LOLDoes he make a 25rd magazine, like you can get for the TX22? Kinda makes 16rds seem like low capacity....
If you're going Ruger, the Mark II is where they really hit the sweet spot. After that it's constant compromise. Chamber load indicator?mag disconnect? No thanks
Like the mount. I changed trigger on mine and it shot as good as the Volquartsen Scorpion I had.I'm picking up a 502 Tactical tonight but if you're quick on the reloads, the Ruger Mk series is pretty nice. Here's mine with a Madd Mac's RMR mount:

Needs the Volquartsen trigger but other than that, runs like a champ. Sounds amazing with CCI Quiet (~740 FPS) but you need to cycle the action by hand.
If you want the fugliest, highest capacity you can’t go wrong with a Keltec CP-33. Decently affordable, threaded barrel, 33 round capacity, front-to-back picatinny rail, and it’s uglier than homemade sin. Personally, I went with a Ruger MK IV 22/45.Looking for best compromise of most quiet, high capacity, reliability, and RMR ready is a plus.

Agree...On all counts.If you want the fugliest, highest capacity you can’t go wrong with a Keltec CP-33. Decently affordable, threaded barrel, 33 round capacity, front-to-back picatinny rail, and it’s uglier than homemade sin. Personally, I went with a Ruger MK IV 22/45.
Buckmark, stays cleaner since the action is open on both sides.
Only gun I can think of that fits all the OP’s parameters is the Ruger Charger. I’ve shot against one that grouped exceedingly well.Looking for best compromise of most quiet, high capacity, reliability, and RMR ready is a plus.

Man, I feel you but I grabbed a TX22 for shits and giggles back when you could get them for about 199.00 after the rebate and have been thoroughly impressed! I liked it enough to grab a TX22C and it shoots great as well. The upgrades on top of the non reciprocating RMR are nice additions. Heavier profile 5.25" barrel, TFS without the little adapter, and a steel rod in the recoil spring assembly instead of polymer. Probably all to add weight to control the monster muzzle flip! Mine with Leopold Delta Pont Pro and a dead air mask on it...I just can't bring myself to buying a Taurus.
I've never once seen them make a semi auto that wasn't a shitshow.
This isn't based on internet babble either. Quite a few personal friends have owned them. Literally every one wouldn't make it through a single mag without choking. Sent back to Taurus numerous times. Never seen them get fixed. I honestly can't fathom how they're still in existence.
I've just seen entirely too many first hand cases, over DECADES, where Taurus is apparently quite content to produce what they know to be a defective product, with absolutely no way of correcting their mistakes.
If they've unfucked themselves, I'll never know it.
Fn 502 is where I'm leaning. High cap, optics ready, and the Walther it's based on is proven. I love the Ruger MKs, and own an older, non threaded model, but the low cap is a turn off.
I run the same mark IV with my TBAC takedown. Zero hiccups with the federal bulk 36 gr hollowpoint you get from Walmart. The 550 round boxesLooking into a fn.
Took my new mark iv tactical out and 3-4 jams in two mags with cci sv.
Not impressed
Are you shooting currently with or without a suppressor? If it jams without try cleaning and lubing it. Maybe a different mag? I have a MK IV as my suppressor host and a MK III I think “target” model. Non threaded. Both guns eat anything I’ve thrown at them.I’ll try them.Ill pick some up this week.
Im actually waiting on my 22 takedown,hopefully in the next few months.
I also have a 2 inch threaded upper to try as well.
Definitely lube it. 22 ammo is very dirty and will cause issues with jamming if you run dry. It will either way but dry isn’t greatWithout
Do these prefer to run a little wet?
I try out some cooler ammo as well.
You just need a lighter mainspring, or to break it in. MkIVs are usually tuned for bulk High Velocity stuff. Mine screams on SV, but I run a 1 lb lower mainspring since I don't shoot the HV stuff in it very often.Took my new mark iv tactical out and 3-4 jams in two mags with cci sv.

This is one of the reasons the "super short" MKIVs are pretty popular, because 3" basically guarantees everything is subsonic. But a MKIV is designed to chew through the cheapest, dirtiest, 22 ammo you can find, and shoot it reasonably accurately. For folks looking for other hosts, the Cadillac is a Nelson conversion on a 1911 frame. It would be nice if they eventually offered a Commander length slide. I have the government and it is great with CCI SV. Great is an understatement. It is crazy quiet, crazy accurate, and a blast to shoot. I don't break out my Ruger very often because the nelson is just a ton more pleasant, despite the Ruger being a great pistol.One thing not mentioned here yet is that barrel length should be high on your list of priorities. Specifically, for suppressor use a barrel of about 4” long seems to be ideal; 4” is short enough to keep pretty much all of the common “High Velocity” 22 LR ammo subsonic, while 5+” barrels will cause supersonic crack with some ammo and atmospheric conditions. Longer barrels are much more limited in what ammo works quietly with a suppressor, but you can use any of the common cheap (relatively speaking) stuff with most 4” barrels and not hear any crack.
