You might also consider looking at the Silencerco Sparrows. The big downside to .22 cans is that lead vapor and carbon eventually will fill the can. The SWR Spectre can be disassembled, but after a lot of shooting, it will be difficult to do so, even with their pusher tool. That's where the Sparrow really shines- they patented a clamshell type sleeve that fits between the baffle stack and the main tube that makes for VERY easy disassembly. I've run over a thousand rounds through mine without cleaning it just to see if it would gunk up to the point where I couldn't take it apart, and the sleeve came out just fine.
Silencerco just released their Gen2 Sparrow that is an inch shorter than the previous model, (and an inch shorter than the Spectre) and now it's made of stainless, so you can clean it in aggressive cleaning agents like "dip" with no ill effects.

My next one will be in .45, and I expect to get the HEMS II for the Nielsen device. I'm sold on SWR.
SilCo Sparrow is tops. I'll be sending mine back next month for an upgrade to stainless steel Spectre is a great can but must be cleaned every few hundred rounds. Sparrow 1,000 rounds BTW, Gemtax & AAC arent that great of companies to deal with.
Just curious, why the spectre would need to be cleaned every few hundred rounds?
SWR recommends 1000 rnds between cleanings,,,
