Got it, the switchback .22 can. Talk me out of it, too late...

[Snake-Eyes]

Yep, they do. View attachment 290173

Or send one you already own to a smith to chop it to 3”, threaded.

Apparently, Ruger says 3” is the sweet spot of still reliably cycles with most ammo, yet short enough to comfortably have a suppressor live off the end of it.


Grumpy’s in Texas seems to have good reviews:

Barrel Threading Service Pistols, Ruger MK I thru IV, 22/45, S&W Victory etc.. Ask for other styles

**** Pistol Barrel Threading Service **** Ruger MK I, MK II, MK III, MK IV, 22/45 22lr Pistols, Smith & Wesson Victory, and more. Short, Long & Bull Barrels

Luckly I've got a few pistols, rifles that are threaded. Need to get the can first!
Don't know how good it would work on my 22 mag, but any reduction would be nice. 16 inch cmr.

Does ruger build one in that barrel lenght??

Ruger doesn’t build one but you can buy the complete upper from volquartsen but you have to buy it from Davidsons Gallery of guns. A&M got me one cause they are listed with Davidsons.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

The ruger I posted the pix of is 3 inch. Factory tactical mdl.

 

[Themumfordman]

No problem cycling subs and hearing level safe with standard velocity

REALLY like that Ruger setup. I need to see if they sell a compact upper like that for the Mark III that I have.

I picked up my Q Erector yesterday afternoon. We got to put just a handful of rounds through it before meeting some friends for dinner.
Using CCI mini mags, in the straight-out-of-the-box config, it was still a little louder than I'd like. I added the 3 additional baffles that came in the box and it is nice and quiet now! It's super light, which was a consideration. I wanted my wife to be comfortable shooting it on a pistol in the longest config.

So the total lenght?? Still on the fence about them both. Poi shift?? Need more reading on poi shift on both.

7-5/8" is the total length , and 2.6 oz on my scale.
Not sure about POI... just popped a few rounds into the dirt to hear what it sounds like.
Maybe I can punch some paper this weekend.

Since all my "cans" are for self-defense or plinking, not a huge concern about .5" accuracy at 50'. I have two lesser expensive cans from a company (veteran owned) that apparently went under. 9mm and .22 caliber. Shame. Modular so can chose your length and decibel tolerance. Have a JK Armament .45 Versax sitting at local FFL awaiting "permission" to pick up (received yesterday at FFL). My experience with the two cheaper suppressors is that they both work very well and I use them in the shortest configuration that isn't hurtful to my already damaged hearing. The .22 with subsonic is quieter than my pellet gun. LOVE plinking with it on my GSG 1911 style pistol or Ruger 10/22 tactical. Can throw a lot of rounds down range very quickly and quietly. The subsonic rounds have cycled through all my firearms without fail, including a Japanese made "Browning SA-22. Just sayin'... Can't wait to fit the .45 Versax to my Ronin .45; but it will feed all my threaded barrel firearms, but probably won't mount it to an AK, even though it is good for "every handgun caliber plus with 300 Blackout, 350 Legend, 450 Bushmaster, 458 SOCOM, and more. It’s rated for sporting use on 223/5.56, 44 Mag, 45 Colt, and 45-70 Gov’t on up to 300 Win Mag..."

Thanks! That would be a big help. I'm guessing it's rated for 22 mag? It just says .22 on the advertising and not for 5.7. Also not having an outer shell it might get pretty hot?

Yep, the metal is very thin, and there's no outer tube, so it probably heats up very quickly. By the same logic, though, it should cool off pretty quickly. My only concern with it might be durability since the metal is very thin. But mine is going to live most of its life in a drawer on a foam pad until the occasional garden pest requires dispatching, so it shouldn't get knocked around much.

Comparison shot with the Q 22 on the far left. Just for size reference.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Found a Gen 1 switchback for $439. Ti color.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

I'm also guessing jacketed bullets would foul less in the can?

Less exposed lead would be my thoughts.

 

[FLT]

Less exposure lead, and no bullet lube .
