Recommend me a 22 pistol host

[Leshaire]

Recommend me a 22 pistol host. Must have a TB option (factory preferred). I had the Sig Mosquito and Walter P22. The mosquito wasnt bad I dont remember why I sold it. The Walther mag release BLOWS.

I like the feel of the M&Ps. I like the looks of the GSG 1911. I also dont hate the Ruger 22/45, any thoughts on this one?

GSG 1911 was the best 22 host I found.

 

[Rwjeter]

I can't say much in the way of actually shooting with a can, but I will say the SR22 I had was a really fun pistol. Very reliable, and I know they offer a threaded barrel version of it. My next will be a mark 4. I've shot a mark 2 or 3 suppressed and it did really well.

 

[Laufen]

Built for .22lr, superbly accurate, easy peasy take down, isn't made of pot metal and doesn't feel like it.

Oh, and it's Dope.

Maybe a Ruger MKIV too. Either way, I dig a pistol purpose built for the cartridge it fires, not one that's been adapted. Just my .02.

 

[Righter13]

Most people recommend the gsg-1911. However, mine never ran reliably suppressed.

My m&p compact.22 on the other hand runs like a champ and for that reason it get any vote. Plus it's made in the USA.

I have a 22/45 and am not a huge fan of it as a host. Also have a GSG 1911, but like @Righter13 said, it can be a little finnicky with different ammo. I will say that mine's probably not even broken in well enough to write it off. It's definitely fun. But if you told me I could only keep one it would be the SR22, hands down no contest. The only thing I would say about the SR22 is that it's probably not going to be super comfortable if you have giant man hands. But for Trump sized hands like mine, I don't think there's a much more comfortable grip out there.

The only gun named here that I don't own or haven't owned is the M&P 22.

I'd be glad to let you put the GSG, 22/45 lite and SR22 in your hands if you'd like.

The Victory is the best gun mentioned. I love shooting 22 suppressed, but I buy a gun, not a host. I don't care about a few dbs as long as the cops don't get called. The barrel is 5", so SV ammo is almost a must.

Sr22 is a great gun for teaching new shooters or kids and is pretty reliable but not very accurate.

My SR22 with a Twin Tech Tactical threaded barrel is very accurate.

I got my vote for the m&p 22. I have the standard size and it feels great and shoots great. Plus I like the cross over to the pistol I carry.

 

[SouthernSlammed]

SR22 all day! It has a very light trigger on the double action, after the first round. With suppressor it is staple gun quiet!



I plan on doing a threaded barrel on the top one (4.5" barrel), probably won't be as quiet with regular minimag.

 

[Hayata]

GSG and .22 compact.

Trigger on the GSG needs some work so I give the edge to the .22 compact.

Been thinking about the SR22 after having fondled one recently.

Good luck in your choice!

Very nice but youre soooo far away haha. I did have a 22/45 now that im thinking about it. I didnt have a can way back then though.

Thats crappy about the SR22 bc I have large hands that are awkwardly wide. Ill have to hold one ebfore making a decision.

No new shooters or kids in my life. Just looking for a good host for my can. I rarely, if ever, want to shoot 22 unsuppressed.

I really like that about the M&P. Although @chance was telling me something about it the other day at their shoot that was bad. I think the slide release eats through the frame after a while. I might have that a little wrong??

The M&P and SR22 are prob at the top of my list right now. But damn I love me some 1911... Thanks for the input.

Are you wanting the best gun you can get with a threaded barrel or the quietest host? They aren't going to be the same thing.

I love the Victory, but they just released the mk 4 lite. The ruger is a great gun, but generally not considered the best host. I'd rather suppress a nice target pistol even if it's a touch louder than other options.

Just a fairly reliable fairly quiet host. Nothing crazy stupid quiet or insanely reliable. Its a plinker after all.
