A gas gun cannot compare to a bolt gun suppressed. That bolt moves using the same expanding gasses that suppressor is trying to catch. Can’t slow them down if they’re not going out the end of the muzzle. Special forces actually made a Ruger semi .22 that would lock shut for dispatching guard dogs I believe. I know it was called the hush puppy.
I didnt know it came in 40S&W, but I would definitely buy it in 9mm. Even now, 9mm FMJs are coming back down in price, and increasing in availability. I havent shoot one, but they are on the list of guns that interest me. I dont really need the take down feature, but that might interest you.
I want the charger with a brace real bad. Had 10-22's all my life and I think a 9mm would be pretty awesome.
As long as they would feed reliably and have a decent magazine, I'd buy a .45ACP in heartbeat.
End of day, it's the bolt slamming during operation that makes the most noise when shooting suppressed using subsonic ammo in .22LR. Not trying to be a smart arse, just you didn't speciffically mention that, and someone not familiar with the issue may not realize that.
So much win in this picture. Exactly what I’m thinking but maybe a lpvo over red dot.
