For several years and countless .22 rounds I have been shooting a Silencer Co Sparrow 22 with excellent results. The only gripe is first round pop is noticeable as O2 is burned in the baffles. Two weeks ago I finally received a Dead Air MASK HD. It is very impressive across several rifles and pistols. First round pop is unnoticeable and I believe it is quieter overall than the Sparrow.

I also have a OSS HX for .223 that does a remarkable job. Initially I was concerned about POI shift due to it's size and weight, but from 1st to 15th round there is no shift. One of the biggest benefits is it reduces backpressure over other suppressors and doesn't require a lot of fiddling.

I am contemplating another OSS for an AR10 as I enjoy hog patrol in southern Georgia. Go big or go home.

Anyone else shooting a can?
