CCI quiet .22lr review

I was kind of surprised how loud the 15-22 was with the shorter barrel as compared to my other .22lr's with 22" and 24" barrels. I was pleasantly surprised when I went to the different shooting ranges and had people that I did not know wanting to shoot my little 15-22 and laying down their .308 ar's to shoot mine. If your embarrassed to go to the range, find you some land to shoot on. I've never had anyone look down at my 15-22. In fact, I get concerned that all the strangers are going to shoot up my ammo.Lol

At my range there is seldom a port that doesn't have a 15-22 shooter in it. I've seen days when we had a half-dozen or more of them on the line. They are extremely popular in this neck of the woods. The first of October our BIG LGS sold the 031 model (CT Compliant) for $389. They sold an average of three a day for two weeks. And then there were the Performance Center and the RealTree models ...
I just bought one for my oldest grandson to match the one for my youngest grandson. It's going to a FUN Christmas day!!!!

Both mine and my youngest grandson's will hold an inch or so at 50 yards from a rest. This is with Federal Champions. My oldest grandson's is at the dealer down in Georgia until a couple of days before Christmas, but I would expect his to do pretty much the same.
What's the safety issue you are dealing with?

Majorlk, the threads that the grip screw goes into to hold the grip in place is stripped out. since it wont hold the grip in place, the saftey detent spring and detent come out easily of the rifle. hence its not safe for use, and it will be fixed soon. Luckily though, the gap is being filled somewhat by my new marlin xt-22 camo stock.

Bummer. Pays to be careful removing and inserting bolts into polymer frames.

Subsonic ammo is not quiet in a pistol unless you have a suppressor attached.

Well..........I can't say that's entirely true. Aguila Colibri is pretty sweet in a pistol. Thinking about getting a box for my little pistol.

You'd better pick yourself up a large bottle of Hoppe's Elite while you're at it.

I don't mind cleaning my gun after I clean the squirrel(s). Lol
I'd be interested in knowing this as well. My suppressor is 6 months out though...
I also have the JP springs and speed hammer. If either one helps just a little, I'm hoping both would make them reliable. CCI quiet in a suppressed 15-22 could be nearly Hollywood quiet...

The springs and speed hammer didn't seem to help. After Thanksgiving, I'm going to see if I can get a spare recoil spring and give that a go. If it doesn't work out, I may go for a heavier recoil spring to keep the 15-22 from cycling the next round into the chamber so I can cycle it manually. I showed the quiets off to a buddy today and they loved them. Now to get all of my. 22's sighted back in after swapping optics around! Too much work and not enough play time.
I'd think that with a boost such as the one they make for the walther p22 would help with the cycling, right? course, it would make it tad louder I think. I'm mostly using these out of my marlin xt-22. How much does a box cost yall localy? It cost me about 3$ a box, and around 28$ a brick at my walmart and local stores.

Not familiar with a "boost"? I pay about the same.

Decided to build a bullet trap today. I fired a test shot using cci quiets to check the angle of my trap plates and didn't quite have them right. I was completely caught off guard when I fired from my kitchen window at the trap at 25 yards and the round ricocheted back at me and hit the window frame! Sounded like it went well above subsonic! Got the loud report like any normal round. I adjusted my plates and the rest of the quiets were great. I can't believe I nearly got popped by a ricochet. I've had dud rounds, which I guess this one was technically a dud.
