As far as sub-sonic .22LR, cycling in a semi-auto may not be reliable...I reckon I'll find out when the suppressor comes in. They should work with the SR-22 pistol...not so sure about the 10-22 *****. However, I did buy a Ruger American bolt action ***** (with a threaded barrel) too. There's a Youtube video of this ***** with a suppressor, and you're right. All one hears is the action of the *****.
Are suppressors legal to buy over the counter in the UK?
When I was shooting at the club last night there were several 10-22's around and many feed them sub-sonics. They say it's worth trying a few different makes of bullet to see which will cycle. Standard RWS is a bit slow (although never cracks, even in cold weather), whereas Winchesters are a little faster while still staying sub-sonic most of the time and they now have one with a heavier bullet which should help give it a little extra energy to cycle.
We need to ask to have "sound moderators" listed on our ******* certificate, but that permission is quite easy to obtain and does not cost anything extra.
RNG, I have what we call an "open certificate", which means I am allowed to shoot a ***** anywhere I have the owners permission. No problems with shotguns, legislation on them is much more relaxed.
