Is this normal

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

Is this normal

Post by Monopolyman »

My Warlock II works well on my Ruger SR22P. I put it on my SIG 522 today and there was no discernible difference in sound. Is this what I should expect from a rifle with a suppressor?
I was shooting Federal Lightning and Aguila target. Both function well and are accurate, but no change in the report.

Yea its normal. You are shooting super sonic ammo. . .

Your pistol has a shorter barrel, shorter distance for the gases to expand, meaning the round is slower.

Shoot sub sonics.

Well the Aguila target should be subsonic or close. But even when shooting the hv stuff through a rifle with my Sparrow I can tell a big difference. Get some known subsonic ammo and it should be far quieter. If I use subs through a pistol with the can and subs through a rifle also, the rifle easily wins in quietness.

CCI standard vel is all you need. Better ammo too.
