What are some people thinking?

[Watertender]

A friend of mine sent me this picture and I was wondering what some people are thinking. It seems like ruining a nice pistol to me. It has to be used with some kind of suppressor or barrel extension. I am interested to see what everyone here thinks....

 

[T.A. WORKMAN]

Now that's a first for me, I do have to admit they grow on you the more you look at them.
That would make a very compact package with a can however.

 

[BULL'S-EYE]

Set up for suppressed use with minimum OAL...I like the top one, the bottom one's color scheme doesn't do anything for me.

 

[rugerguy]

I'm with you and believe a total waste of a 22 bullet.........the zip guns we built with car antennaes back in the 1950s had longer barrels, and worked about as well and NOT a waste of time or money...........

 

[PRichardson87]

If used with a suppressor in a tight area like indoors I could see the point. Otherwise to each his own.

 

[NC FNS]

Looks like the elusive Mark IV snubby.

 

[Mobuck]

Not for me- 4" is short enough and it still provides practical accuracy and range.

 

[carbonfibrebob]

Perhaps Innovative Arms Integrally Suppressed Ruger MKIV with suppressor removed

 

[Snake45]

I have come to the conclusion, after many years of observation, that there is no modification that can be made to a gun or a car, no matter how stupid or insane-looking, that somebody, somewhere, didn't think was a good idea and/or would "look cool" and actually did it.

There are multiple places making 1-1/2 to 2” suppressor hosts. Along with matching claims of accuracy.

 

[NH Rugerman]

An answer in search of a question….

 

[BULL'S-EYE]

From the website...2.5" Basically the same barrel length as an LCP II. Looks like a hoot to shoot to me! And, given the abundance of take off uppers at dirt cheap prices...Why not?

 

[Rat76]

This is the very first thing that came to my mind.

 

[gnappi]

I'm of the opinion that no mod should be done unless it's reversible with the original parts.

If you live long enough you may begin to appreciate the things "the way they were" and leave em alone.

 

[Mobuck]

Shouldn't have any problem keeping the bullets sub-sonic. Sights are really close together.

 

[Ale-8(1)]

Well, if they're available at a reasonable price they would allow ya to buy the gun first and then save up for the suppressor later.

Otherwise . . . meh.

JMHO

Volquartsen was offering them for $35 or less. I haven't looked in a while.

EDIT

Still are, or even less.

Dan, I was referring to the guns in post #1.

 

[Dan in MI]

Most I am aware start with a VQ take off and proceed as money allows.

This is also why Ruger MK frames are crazy high now.

 

[jstanfield103]

Made for this reason only

 

[BULL'S-EYE]

He gets it.

You either get can's...OR...You don't.
I put 200 rounds of hearing safe, suppressed CCi .22 Quiet through my 22/45 Lite in my backyard range this very afternoon. It was great fun & I thoroughly enjoyed it!

As my long time, & bestest shooting buddy often says...There's aways a few Fudd's in every crowd.

Only price I've found here is $1145.00 for the complete suppressed pistol. Was wondering about the price of the pistols as shown in post #1 . . . the "starting point" for a future added suppressor.

 

[Dan in MI]

On MK specific groups many are buy VQ's to chop as an add on host to their factory config.

And then decided that they didn't like, and they tried to sell it.

 

[Mobuck]

There's two ways to make a 22rf handgun less loud: adjust ammo performance or add a muffler. One way reduces the effectiveness of the pistol and the other requires jumping through the NFA hoops.
I've done both and the second is a better choice in the long run. Regarding the pistol shown: I'd certainly rather have another 2-3" of barrel from a performance standpoint.

 

[Hvymax]

I think the most effective keep more barrel and have an Expansion Chamber extending over the barrel and then a few inches of baffles.

 

[wproct]

I like short barreled handguns, but my 3.5 inch Volquartsen match carry is about as short as I want to go.
