S&W is making one but it won't be out until later this year. There really isn't a time table for it.

Check Tactical Innovations. They've got a fake one for .22 for about $40 that threads on in place of a flash hider as long as its the standard 1/2x28 thread.

Appreciate the link. Got my 15-22 barrel threaded at Olde English Gun Shop. Less than one week turnaround.

Why have a fake one? What about a real one? Anyone know how the 15-22 runs suppressed?
Not sure if too many people are willing to pay for a REAL one with the tax stamp and all for a .22. As a LEO i assume you meant a "legal" suppressor. lol......i think youtube has a couple vids with a suppressed .22

They are a bit pricey, but .22's are some of the most popular suppressed firearms out there. The stamp itself is around $200. The suppressors are around $600-800. They are perfectly legal here in WY, as long as you pay the tax stamp.
**Actually just looked at Gem Tech's website. .22 suppressor is $325.00 plus the stamp, of course**

Just have to be patient. Paperwork takes 3-4 months through the ATF. Fingerprints, photos, etc. etc.
Would be nice to not have to wear hearing protection.

Do you pay for the tax stamp before or after the paperwork is aproved. Also do you have to have a stamp for each one you buy? What about the same can used on different firearms?
After. Yes, stamp applies to each silencer. They are built to a specific caliber, so if you bought one for your .22 rifle, it would also work on your pistol (assuming both barrels were threaded the same).
Interesting too, they must not be out of your control. Can't loan it to your neighbor to shoot (without you there). Can't transport across state lines without notifying BATF. I understand they have to right to come inspect where and how you store it to insure it is under your control.
Regarding the 15-22 specifically Gem Tech just returned email stating they have been using one of theirs on a 15-22 and it has been working great.
Oh, so many toys...so little money.

For anyone seriously contemplating buying a real suppressor I'll throw this out there for you. Don't waste your money on a .22 can when you can only use it on .22 caliber. The whole idea behind owning a suppressor is being able to use it on as many host guns as possible. With that being said I own 2 suppressors. One is a AAC M-4 200 for use on my M-16, the other is a 9mm AAC can that I have used on .22's, 380's, 9mm's....etc. I have a handful of guns I had threaded to 1/2 X 28 TPI and they all work great. I have heard many people argue that a .22 through a 9mm can is not going to be as quiet, but those same people who tried to argue this case could not tell a difference in the sound when I used my 9mm can vs their own .22 can. Why pay a 200 dollar tax and not get your full money's worth? You can even get a .45 can and shoot smaller calibers through it as well, but it gets tricky due to the thread patterns and often ends up costing a lot to get custom thread adapters made. Owning NFA weapons is not cheap, but if you are going to do it, try to maximize what you have for less money!

I feel your concerns about the suppressor can issues. I personally would not put a 9mm can onto a 22lr just because the threads fit. I have an issue about bullet stabilazation. Whats going to happen when some of the rounds start hitting the baffles. I would you a .223 can on a 22lr can if was stated to do so. To me this is just like trying to shoot 5.56 out of a barrel labeled for .223 only. Yes the bullets look alike but the dim. are different. They would work but for how long and what injuries may happen in the process.
