Suppressor for .22Lr, .22mag., .17HMR

[whitecoyote]

I'm looking for a suppressor that will work well with the .22LR, .22 mag., and, 17HMR. It should work equally well on a pistol, or rifle.
I've narrowed it down to Advanced Armament Corp. Element http://advanced-armament.com/product.aspx?pid=488
and Thunder Beast 22L-1 http://www.thunderbeastarms.com/products/22l-1
Both are on recommendations since I have no experience with suppressors.

What are your recommendations/opinions?
Regards,
W.C.

I spent a month researching before plucking down the coin on an AAC Element.

I was looking at the silencerco 22 sparrow.

FWIW, I have a Gemtech Alpine (K-Baffled .22 suppressor) and a silencerco Sparrow. Adco (my local NFA Dealer) is a stocking dealer for Huntertown as well. The K baffled suppressors work great for .22 LR. They work great for the .22 LR. Huntertown is a great deal a basic .22 LR suppressor. They also make one a bit larger and more robust for the higher pressure small caliber rounds. Good value for the dollar.

The element is a great little suppressor. Don't have one, but I dd shot with someone who has one. Pretty cutting edge stuff, but pricey, if that matters.

The Sparrow is also a nice suppressor. By far the easiest to clean that I've seen. The "large" voids in the monocore design provide for a rather significant first round pop, but the ease of cleaning make it a great asset for long range days.

I have not tried a thunderbeast, but their reputation is rock solid. I wouldn't hesitate to try one myself.

I wouldn't hesitate with any of these forementioned cans. If you are planning on shooting high pressure small caliber, then I would probably choose between the Kestrel from Huntertown arms, Sparrow if ease of cleaning is more important than first round pop, or the Element from AAC.

The "problem" with the K-Baffled .22 suppressors is the difficulty of taking them apart. They can get gummed up pretty good and can be rather difficult for dis-assembly.

I visited this website and clicked on the dealer for SE Michigan but it lists some company in Idaho. Does anyone know of a local deal that sell Huntertown Arms?

EDIT to delete my post, as I thought you were on this side of the state: I see you are on the far east side of the state.
I am sure the east side guys will chime in with a good C3 dealer over there.


Thanks,
