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.
Hate it that we have a Mosquito in addition to an M106 High Standard (that works like a dream!). Looks like I'd better plan on a replacement for that SIG!
Sure glad I decided to do the 40 year old High Standard on a whim. Bought a new bbl from Brownell's and had it threaded. Is a tack driver!
I wonder if a skinny barrel Ruger auto can be threaded. Have one of those in the safe too.
You can do a skinny barrel Ruger but the front sight is the issue. I made it work. The gun has billion rounds though it and keeps on ticking.
Member of the LSU, SWR, and RUGGED underground. Shame Silencerco!
I've researched .22LR pistols and it's pretty easy to notice stories like this about the Walther and Sig 22. pistols. They look cool, but seem to be crap (with poor quality control).
Have you thought about a Ruger MKII or Browning Buckmark?

I honestly thought Walther was good. My P99 AS has treated me well. Is the poor quality limited to just their .22LR line?
And yes, I honestly would like to know what .22 LR pistols you respect.
The P99 is fine as it uses quality metals not the garbage they use for the P22. I think the P22 uses a zinc pot metal frame.
I would recommend the Buckmarks, Rugers MK's and the Beretta 87. More expensive thant he P22 but quality that will pass down generations of your kids not generations of houseflies.
I do have my name on the SWR list to get my Spectre upgraded. Might be able to ship the PP in with the can for, you know, testing if I can get bumped up a bit in line.
I did not transition to SilencerCO from SWR. I am all alone now ... taking a break, planning things.
Be well.

smith & wesson makes the P22 but walther makes the barrel for both the p22 and both M&P 22 pistol/rifle. so dont blame walther (maybe just alittle for shaking hands with s&w on this one) all the other weapons are made wholey by walther. although me thinks its actualy lothar walther that makes the barrels for the m&p .22's.
i read it somewhere so dont quote me on it. everything i've dug up in the past 5-10 minutes says carl walther makes the p22 and the slide is cast zinc aloy so that would be the problem to begin with
edited because i miss read something about mim'ed parts
smooth is learned, fast is practiced, precision is earned.
