Nickolas, I like silencers that
look sophisticated rather than plain — so that includes the following brands: DonnyFL, 0dB, Hugget, Ramus, and the new (2020) Weihrauch XL line.
They usually make you pay for the looks, not just the quality materials and design.
If
silencing is all you want, there are cheaper options.
And it depends
how much silencing you want/ need.
I have a .22 that's set to 14.5FPE and for some of my shooting scenarios I prefer "mouse-fart quiet" — which of course is quieter than just "plain quiet"!
(Of couse, no-one has ever defined how much
mouse-fart quiet is really less loud than
plain quiet....)
So, at that power/ caliber, I use a DonnyFL Sumo, and I do get to compete with the mice....
But it's a pretty big can hanging off the pistol — and I do not shoot it one-handed as pistol, but rested on a bag, or when shooting off-handed I rest the Sumo in the crease of the ellbow joint.
I am pretty certain that a PP700 with 25FPE is a rare case of extensive tuning. In .22cal it would be waaaaaay too loud for my scenarios, even if I used an even bigger silencers (because the barrel is so short).
I'll attach a Silencer Specs Table (and a separate doc with photos of the silencers). You'll get to compare the specs for 56 silencers from 14 manufacturers.
The Table also contains comparison tests of silencing potential at different power levels.
Happy silencer shopping!
Matthias
