I know this has been discussed but I assume that several people have received cans since the last discussion.

Like most I shoot lots of varmints around the house barn pastures etc. all my rimfire is currently done with 22lr. I am waiting on a barrel for a 17wsm rim-x build. So I’ll use that one 17 the rest will be 22 rifle and pistol. Today I started my weight for a dead air mask and nomad ti. I’m thinking about going on and getting another mask while I’m at it and the store has one available. Just curious if others prefer something else before I get too deep with that particular one? Thank you.

Thank you. I was hoping you would weigh in since you have several.

The Mask is ever so slightly quieter on the WSM, but on the .22's I kinda like the takedown better. But I really think that there really isn't a bad rimfire can.

I have a Dead Air Mask and a TBAC Takedown 22. I like the TBAC a little better, but they are both really good!

I also have a Surefire Ryder 22A, an older model with aluminum baffles. The 22A is really light, but the aluminum baffles are a pain to clean. I'm planning on getting a Banish 22 or an Energetic Arms NYX, at some point. Both are lighter than the Mask or TD22, and being all titanium, they should should be much easier to clean than my 22A.

I've got two Tactical Innovation Quest's, and one Dead air Mask. The Dead Air Mask is in a whole 'nother league.

The Quest's are great on 22LR rifles, but I don't consider them hearing safe on a pistol. The Dead Air Mask is hearing safe/extremely quiet on a pistol.

Next rimfire can I get, will be another Dead Air Mask.

The Dead Air Mask does have a lot of back pressure, noticeable on my Nelson 1911-22... you get a bit of powder back in the face. Not an issue with my Ruger 22/45's.

I read your posts about your very long wait. Now that you actually have it, what do you think of it?

I've bought several cans through Silencer Shop, so I was happy to see them pick up the Energetic Arms line of suppressors. I got to handle the NYX at a gun show earlier this year, and I was impressed at how light it was. Might go that route.

It is my fourth rimfire can. Mask, TD22, SparrowSS and this'un. It currently sits in fourth place..... It has a chance to move into third and beat out the sparrow after I get more rounds and cleanings outta 'er. But it has its work cut out, to do it.

Not legal, per se, but a buddy got wind of a plastic 3D printed suppressor intended for air guns. For academic interest only and not meant as a suggestion, but it works swell on a Stevens tip-up .22 target pistol. Obviously being made of plastic, albeit high grade impact resistant plastic, it's viability for long life is highly suspect. But, for only $25......

I have a couple DA Masks, but the Griffin Optimus Micro caught my eye since it can also be used on 22 CF. I also have the Nomad Ti, I think you’ll be happy with your selections so far.

So my newby question is: How do you satisfy the whole trust thing without the help of one of those sites?

I used the Silencer Central trust but bought my suppressors elsewhere - didn’t have any issues with getting the trust completed timely. That was prob 7-8yrs ago though.

I have decided to get my first suppressor. I am getting one for rimfires. Why wouldn't I go with something like the Optimus Micro over a Dead Air Mask since I don't care about weight and the Optimus would allow me to use it on a 223? Would the Optimus Micro be as quiet as a Dead Air Mask?

Rimfire is dirty and some centerfire cans have to be sent off to be cleaned. Make sure whatever can you buy it is user serviceable. This is why I would suggest against a centerfire can on 22 Rimfire.

I’m certainly not trying to stop you from buying a can cause everyone needs a 22 Rimfire can but I don’t shoot mine as much as I thought I would. Simply because I shot it so much after I got it, I had to sandblast the baffles. Now I clean it every 100 rounds.

Just curious but when someone says they’re not worried about the weight I’m curious what the application is?
