Short 22 pistol for suppressor?

[zeroz]

I assumed this would have been beat to death so I searched. Everything was fairly old.

My form one will be in shortly and I'd like to have a shorty pistol host ready. What do you have that you like? I have a target bull barrel mark 2 being threaded but wanted something small and fun.

The old Hi Standard Olympic 22short is fantastic with suppressor.

I've been going through looking for the same thing recently.

The S&W 422's are awesome with the adaptor, as are the MK4 Ruger's.

Buy you an old Beretta M71

I got this idea as well recently and am looking to have a ruger mkii cut down to 2-3 inches and threaded

Find an old Beretta Bobcat or Minx and send barrel to Jim Pixley at JP Grips to have adapter installed.

Maybe the Glock 44?
It is well under a pound, plenty compact, likely more accurate and shootable than any micro pistol.

oooh. That little bobcat is cool, that is more along the lines of what I'm after. Just did a quick search and it looks like Beretta announced at SHOT that they will be releasing them with threaded barrels and "eventually" with suppressor height sights. Doesn't look like it happening until late in the year so I may need to do the conversion.

I looked at one this morning. If it was on their smaller frame like a 42 I may have gone that route as they had a threaded barrel there for it. Its on the 17 frame so not quite as small as I am after.

I like the looks and features of that but like the glock, its a full size frame. I have that covered.

I like my Buckmark with a Tactical Solutions barrel. I have the 6” barrel but the 4” makes the thing pretty short.

Really like my Walther (Interarns) PPK/S 22. Bought it used for around $200 IIRC. Barrel is already threaded - ordered an 1/2x28 adapter for about $20 bucks. Inexpensive, fun little plinker host for my Tacsol Axiom, and although I get an occasional stovepipe (usually when dirty after extended shooting) for the most part it’s been very reliable even with the cheap ammo. My Ruger 22/45 spends more time in the safe since I got it.

I have a threaded bobcat it’s super quiet suppressed and fun as you can get.

This right here.
One adder a few of us like an have done is interrupted threads, on the barrel an can. All you have to do is push the can down to the index mark* an turn it about 45 degrees an she is locked in/up. All the twisting motion is over with both machined that way.

* index mark is a line and a cut in the can you can feel w/o looking down or seeing at night.

Also have SW 2213, Walther TPH, Beretta 950bs and 21A, and Sig 938-22 as bug hosts; will see if I can find some more pics.

Here mine are. I ordered the barrel for the bobcat so I got the only color available but I don’t care because suppressed and ugly is so much better than no suppressor. The Ruger mark iv is accurate as hell with the red dot. It’s a dead air mask that I use.

Nice - I’d like to take that suppressed M41 for a spin, mine is bone stock.

 

[fanninland]

1) anyone run a shorty can like a Tacsol Aeris, Bowers Bitty or Rugged Oculus with their pocket 22?

2) what would be considered a decent price for a Beretta Bobcat?

It’s unreal on accuracy. At 50ft rested I was outshooting an Olympic level shooter with her Anschutz. Some of the groups are on the target it’s resting on.

The bitty works well when run wet.
