Not totally true...I’ve got a suppressed Ruger that is no louder than a very soft finger snap.

Literally, if you had your head turned, you’d be hard pressed to hear it.

It’s an AWC...they make really good cans, as well as Gemtech, out of Boise.

Sorry, but I don’t buy it. These products are carefully measured with scientific equipment, and have measurable db reductions from the standard sound of a 22LR. What you describe may fit your perceptions compared to the expected sound, but they don’t fit measurable reality.

Post a youtube video of you shooting and snapping, for us to judge for ourselves. You’ll probably be surprised.

I happen to have a decent library of books and articles on the subject, and am personally and professionally acquainted with several designers and manufacturers of suppressors, as well as owning more than a few.
