Does anyone on here have a suppressed 10/22, if so how's the noise level with the suppressor attached
the silencerco sparrow is rated for .22lr, .17, 5.7, and .22mag.Thanks bearco, so would a 22 suppressor work on a 22mag or would the pressure damage the suppressor
With standard velocity ammunition, it seems to take away the muzzle blast at your ears but you still hear the crack out away from you. No problem shooting without hearing protection. With subsonic ammunition that changes quite a bit.
The sparrow is a horrible choice for a rifle. Among other things, it has a terrible first round pop
Talk to TDH about the Liberty suppressors
I disagree. The Sparrow does have the FRP but unless you are trying to be a super ninja, what does it matter? What other things are you talking about when you say "among other things"? I think its one of the best .22 cans out for either rifle or pistol.
Here is a sparrow working real we on a pistol where they tend to shine

I don't know what standard velocity ammo you are referring to but CCI SV stays sub sonic out of my 16" and my 22" barrel bolt guns.
I have not had my suppressor very long and I have not tried the CCI SV ammo. However the Winchester 333 bulk does not stay sub-sonic out of my 16" barrel.
I will say this, on my Buckmark pistol with the 4.5" barrel and SS Sparrow, sub-sonic ammo and Winchester bulk sound the same to my ears.
I have also heard good things about the Liberty suppressors but have not had a chance to try one out. From what I know they are a little larger in size than the Sparrow but I think the weight is negligible. I just wanted a compact package since it was pulling double duty on a pistol and rifle. Maybe I will have to get one specific for my rifles.
Many are rated for 22mag and .17, but certainly not all. I know the Gemtech Alpine is rated at 22mag/17, but not 5.7. The Alpine does not have a louder first round pop.Thanks bearco, so would a 22 suppressor work on a 22mag or would the pressure damage the suppressor
