I'd also recommend Andrew at Ortwien International (AKA coctailer on this forum). <broken link removed>
He opened up very early this morning (that's right, on a Sunday before 8:00am) to let me pick up my Socom suppressors that finally got out of NFA jail.
Great guy, great service, great prices.
I own both weapons and fire them both suppressed with the same can.
Both perform well and quietly with my TAC-65 on them. The TAC-65 is a decent budget can. 6061 aluminum k-baffle, so cleaning it with ease means you need a blast cabinet (which I have now) and the AAC element baffle removal tool as well as the endcap tool to get it apart for cleaning.
If I could do it all over again, I would get stainless baffles. But lucky for me there are numerous companies that offer to rebuild the tac-65 and upgrade them with stainless k-baffles in a better quieter design, or a stainless mono core, etc.. rebuild costs about $275 which is about the price difference between the tac 65 and a stainless can...
so if you figure it that way... you get the cheaper can, shoot the hell out of it and put aside a little money later down the road so when your baffles wear out, break, or don't perform as well: get it rebuild for $275 and have it back in a couple days! no new stamp, no having to ship to/from a FFL since you already own the can and have the stamp for it..
Just a thought..
here are the guns with that can on them:

A few things about those particular guns with a can:
the P22 with the 3.4" barrel does well with cheap federal bulk ammo and keeps it subsonic and quiet, however I highly recommend a laser sight or a scope mount and a red dot sight because the can gets in the way of the iron sights and makes you have to guess where you are shooting at...
the 15-22 performs exceptional with the can on it. remington subsonic ammo does alright, but usually has 1 or 2 rounds out of 50 make a loud pop out of the action, or travel transonic and usually those one or two rounds go high or low out of the group.

75 yards w/remington subsonic ammo. 25 rounds fired rapidly from a bi-pod with a 3-9x32 scope on the 15-22.
can you tell which round popped loud and was the odd ball?? lol
I recently tried CCI standard velocity out of it and I must say that ammo is AWESOME! very consistent and very quiet out of the 15-22 with the suppressor. They do stay subsonic and they are actually quieter and cleaner than the remington subsonics. Tighter more consistent grouping as well.
Use the cheap stuff out of the pistol though as all ammo stays subsonic out of it.[/QUOTE
Thanks for all the Info
Joe at crossroadsarms.com or Andrew at ortwein are both gtg.
