Cheap .22LR suppressor versus expensive - is there a noticeable difference?
Hi all,
It's been a while since I've shot through a variety of .22LR cans and I haven't done any comparisons. I was wondering if anybody has compared a cheap 'package' suppressor to a more expensive say ghost, DPT, gunworks suppressor.
I have recently picked up a brand spanking new threaded barrel for my Ruger 10/22, as the cost to thread was essentially the same, and installed a polymer buffer to reduce bolt noise. I had an old cheapo lying around and screwed it on. Looking at more expensive suppressors, they are $1-120, even up to $160, and wondering if it's worth slapping one of those on, or will the old cheapo be sufficient?
What are your thoughts on cost to performance ratio, is it worth the difference in sound moderation to step up to a more expensive suppressor?
