Why Suppress a 22 Rifle?

I suppress my 22's because I shoot allot and I need to save what hearing I have left. That and it's still a "COOL" badge but it used to be way cooler about 10 years ago. Seems like the suppressor popularity meter has spiked for the general public. Kinda how AR's made nongunners into gunners. When all it takes is money thaen here we are.
Simple. So you can shoot in your backyard without disturbing your neighbor and having the police called on you.Edumacate me
Or
Because you have every legal right to own a suppressor and put it on what you want. Sometimes it's not a need it's about exercising a right
Because I can!!! Why do anything in life... It doesn't have to be explained to other people and doesnt have to make sense to other people. If it floats your boat crank it up!!!
Suppressed High Standard .22LR pistols were put to good use at one time.
You can also ask IDF snipers why they like suppressed 10/22s.

Lol. Because I shoot from inside my house. If I did that without a can it would be loud as fuck and I don't like wearing ear pro.
Bolt gun would be the most effective but a semi will work also. CZ bolt .22's or a Ruger 10/22 is you want semi are all good choices.
If one does not have a threaded barrel and/or doesn't want to get one they can always use an adapter:

My CZ UL, same set-up and quiet with match ammo also. 28" barrel serves no purpose other than for longer sight radius, powder burn is long over and bullet is coasting out the muzzle.
I also forgot to add that it makes little guns look cool and other classy ones look even better. Top - Berretta M21. Bottom - Umarex Colt 1911-22.

Good point. A friend tried it with his 10/22 without any problems.
I use a Geissele alignment rod to check for clearance on my cans.
Spent Friday afternoon at my home range shooting bowling pins and gongs. I have a suppressed Ruger 22/45 Lite. Because I invited my proud but poors friend, all of us had to wear ear pros and listen to his loud Beretta.
God Bless the MSA/Sordin Pro-X sets though.

It's a waterproof match case with compass. The CIA rectal toolkit was to big to fit in the photo.
Suppressor's are handy.
Especially on an all night bunnybash.
Just keeps the noise down.
Sadly, they are illegal here in Western Australia.
Used them where I grew up, and UK.
Can be used as a muzzle brake as well.

Admit it, the rectal tool kit feels good, doesn't it.It's a waterproof match case with compass. The CIA rectal toolkit was to big to fit in the photo.

Never had the pleasure. Just imagine the poor guy that they assigned to the R&D department to test it out.
I'm sure he is the one who opted for the non knurled version.
Strange question....Logical,rational response-if you are able to shoot virtually anywhere with little ,if no sound.....Why would'nt you???
I sit every night and enjoy shooting .22 and .300WH off my porch in the backyard,my dogs are running around,livestock grazing peacefully-all looking every 30sec at the strange sound of steel ringing...very mellow and relaxing.

I suppress my .22 rifle so I don't have to put on any hearing protection when I snap it up to send a tree rat to its demise.
I’m looking for suppressor for my 22 for a couple of reasons.
1) America !
2) Shoot in my backyard without bothering neighbors
3)America !
4) Not having to wear ear protection.
I shot my buddies with a can and I really dug it. With that being said is there anything I should look at before going down this rabbit hole ? Thanks in advance !

Rimfire cans get dirty fast and need to be cleaned regularly. Pick one that is easy to disassemble for cleaning.
Because I honestly need the weight up front to balance out this 15lb vudoo 
At my first NRL22 match, there was a guy shooting a suppressed CZ. My daughters froze when they realized that his rifle was making no noise, yet steel was ringing down range. I will own a suppressor or 3 when we get done with this overseas assignment. 2 for my 22 gamer guns, and one for my 9mm.
G'day all, love all of your answers funny or not. Here in oorstralia we do not talk talk funny and we can spel reeel woords but i like the the way you can hang these things on you barrels. We are not allowed cans / suppressors/ muzzle devises without special permit. Loss of licence and 10 years in the slammer is the result lol.I have 2 cats that i need to get rid of, oh well there is always the rabbit trap.Scott
I have suppressors on most of my hgunting .22 rifles and one of my .22 pistols and one on a .22 revolver.
Top: BSA International MkII Martini action. About 18 inches now (cut nine off the end) MAE suppressor from my Rem Model Seven .223.
Bottom: S&W M&P 15/22 with DPT suppressor with five baffles.
Top: BRNO Mod 2. Shortened and Parker-Hale supressor.
Bottom: CZ Scout with Parker-Hale suppressor.
Browning SA22 with MAE stainless steel rimfire suppressor.
Ruger 10/22 with Parker-Hale suppressor. Also fitted with a poymer rear buffer pin to reduce action noise.
Ruger 22/45 shortened and a MAE stainless steel suppressor added. Same model as on the BSA at the top.
I have a heap more. These were just the ones with photos easily to hand. The ones I haven't suppressed are things like my Marlin 39A, Enfield No.8 and No.9 trainers and target rifle where the rules don't allow it.

Man those are fine weapons. I totally agree. My suppressors are ordered and I’m hoping everything goes through ok. Kind of worried given the change in administrations. Thanks for sharing your post.Why suppress a .22 LR? It makes my barrel look longer
As previously stated, there is something incredible that happens within the soul of the shooter who only hears the click of the firing pin or the cycling of the action then the "plop" or the "ping" down range.
A few months ago, a friend and I took a new shooter out with the suppressed Buckmarks. There was nobody else at the range. So we didn't wear any hearing protection.
The new shooter was hooked. The look on his face was the same look a teenage boy gets when he comes home after his first hot date.
If everyone suppressed their firearms you would be surprised at how much more enjoyable the sport would be from the shooting ranges to the back yards.

Every time a thread like this gets bumped I have to check my estimated wait time for my suppressors to see if it’s bumped up..
