    Fair enough, I've had aimsport, gunworks and hushpro. They were all pretty good. I think the gunworks was the best of the 3 that was on a Remington 597 22lr .

    I'll be trying a DPT for my next rimfire, I like the idea that baffles can be added for increased suppression and the fact it can be disassembled for cleaning.

    Unfortunately you do when ordering online etc. You now require a license to own one.

    Seems kinda a moot point, what possible reason could anyone without a license need to own a suppressor ? Agree the extra paperwork is rediculous

    Yup, along with a stock a "butt" and magazine. All now require a firearms license.

    It’s not really a preference to be honest, but it seems to do the job.
    I wouldn’t own it personally, but the Ardern suppressor from Labour seems to do the job of keeping the sound of the firearms community to virtually no sound at all....
    Grouchy Smurf had it right all along...

    My Hushpower Braveheat was great, although I only used it with 22LR. Sold it because I wanted an over-barrel suppressor and got a Hardy which is also good. If you're serious about noise control, then what about a centrefire suppressor?

    If someone is buying a rim fire suppressor. Do advise buy one that can be taken apart for cleaning, lot of people shoot 50 per visit thinking it’s not worth it cleaning, until the fifth time the carbon inside is like cemented shit, no gun oil not even sonic washer can dissolve it.
