22 cans

I've got the Spectre II and its hands down the best rimfire can I own.
Yeah it works okay with subs, not as quiet as a true .22 can, but I knew that going in. One of the trade-offs when being a cheap bastard and going for multi-function
@ArtVandelay let me try a Dobbs' .22 can (can't recall what the model was for the life of me) on a .22 bolt, it was noticeably quieter than my ghetto-rig. But if you're on a budget like I am and hate paying for stamps, running .22 through a .45 can with a 9mm endcap is a decent compromise (at least to me it is).
There are some vids on the webz showing the Octane with .22, I'll add them later when I get a chance
Dobbs Evercore (ARC 22) and a HTA Kestrel 22.
I like them both. I liked the HTA more before I upgraded it to the Kestrel core (although it is now much easier to clean.) It started life as an aluminum guardian and it was quieter before the upgrade.
I really want to try the new IA rimfire can but I can't justify a third rimfire can.

is it harder to clean or do you only copper jacketed bullets?Yeah it works okay with subs, not as quiet as a true .22 can, but I knew that going in. One of the trade-offs when being a cheap bastard and going for multi-function

It gets dirtier faster, the subs I use aren't jacketed. Not a big deal to tumble the baffles with ss media
I've got the silencerco sparrow. It's very similar to the IA slingshot, except it has the stainless clamshell that keeps the tube really clean. I love it. Like the slingshot it's a little shorter than most 22 cans.
I was going to go the Apex route until I found out about the Sligshot, supposedly the same Db reduction on a shorter platform. found a place that should be getting them in next month
the cores look identical except for length, kind of weird that its technically a whole different can and seems to just lack volume of the apexS but somehow not lose any db's?
could be that the last baffle on the apex just isn't doing much at all
could be that the the meterings on done on 16" barrels where a longer can won't make much difference.
I contacted them to ask how it haas the same reduction. here is their reply
Thanks for contacting us. There are differences in how they assemble, and also a subtle difference in the core design of the SlingShot to give it the same internal volume as the APEX. Here are two video links to hear them.
