What .22 pistol to silence...?

[bjl913]

I am looking at picking up a .22 can from Alan soon, and wondering what .22 pistol I should purchase to go with it! I have been doing a little research and most people like the P22's and the Mosquitos, but now I'm faced with a decision! I have not shot either weapon, but have experience with both the SW/P99, and Sig full size pistols. Which weapon is going to be better as far as reliability with the can installed? which weapon is more accurate? Any other options as far as pistols i should look into?

you don't have one yet?? wait any longer and you'll end up with your tax stamp as a christmas (can i say christmas?) present!

own a p22, sig mosquito, ruger MKII, buckmark camper and 4 22 rifles that have threaded bbls. i use a Tac-65 and currently waiting approval for my Thunderbeast arms .22can (also 22mag) rated. buy one then go for another. with the cost of ammo my .22's get lots of range time. suppressed or not. i've had the best results with the wally world fed bulk pak .22
the higher end stuff is more accurate (depending on who you ask) but i'm not concerned with the MOA-sub MOA thing.

Yeah, im definately going to need to pick something up real soon! Im really beween the mosquito and p22... just cand decide which i like better! only .22 i have right now is an old nylon 66(that i love) but would love to get a few more of them! how well does the can work on the rifles considering the extra barrel length? I would love to get a little 10/22 or something /w a threaded barrel also if i can manage the funds for the can first!

I have three .22 pistols, only one of which is threaded so far. The threaded one is a .22 conversion on one of my Sig P226s. It's been dead reliable. The other two pistols are a PPK/S in .22 and a Ruger MK III. I'm definitely going to have the Ruger threaded but the PPK/S is a classic and I'm loath to destroy it's collector value.

My .22 can is a SWR Warlock. I also have a .30 Omega for my FAL and other assorted 30 caliber rifles.
