This is a fact. I can fire a bolt action rifle with cci quiet ammo while standing just inside my family room at sliding door and my wife, in the living room will not hear it.

CCI segmented subsonic rounds are extremely quiet (especially from bolt rifle), accurate and copper washed. Perfect for fairly close pest control.
While round availability certainly matters, have strong preference for copper washed over exposed lubed lead in 22 lr, and jacketed rounds in center fires.

I have one .22 cal can. Sorta came by it by chance. A dealer friend of mine had just gotten his Class III SOT. At the same time a small company was trying to get started in the suppressor business and was offering their products at some really great prices. So I bought the .22 can just as sort of a favor.
I have a Buckmark and a 10/22 it'll fit on. Then when I got my Walther PPK/S .22 I bought the barrel adapter so it fits that too.
I like it, it works quite well. With SV ammo about all you hear is the bolt cycling. But honestly, cleaning the thing is a real PITA. I hardly ever use it.
The maker didn't survive and the can pretty much just sits in the safe. I tried to sell it once. I've discovered that there is almost no interest in a used .22 caliber can. I've told my sons that after I'm gone, if neither of them wants it, to just give it to BATF and be done with it.

Suppressors are excellent. First if you decide to purchase, try to find a shop that will let you try out the cans. I have customers come over with their threaded host and have then shoot sub and supersonic. Be aware that temperature, proximity to buildings, trees, weather can all affect the sound. In regards to Integral rimfire . I would recommend Inovative Arms, in their 15-22, ruger 10-22, ruger pistols plus others. The integral 15-22 with standard ammo is close to TV quiet. Avoid the integral made by Ruger, it is useless, it sounds un-suppressed with sub sonic ammo. Inovative arms is great for integrals, liberty is great for handguns and for 30 cal or larger Lane LLC is top notch. 300 BO sub with their Titanium Scorpian King on a Rem 700, 20" is comfortable to shoot in the house without ears!! AVOID: witt machine and tool co, poor quality, terrible customer service. I bought 7 integral @ near 2K each , they are garbage. I just checked their site and they have pulled their integral uppers, good riddance! rebel silencers is another place to avoid, useless, inexpensive, aluminum. Their one 22 lr suppressor has the same sound as an unsuppressed weapon, I may send mine to ATF, just to get rid of them. Be Careful with video's, they do not always represent real sound. As an SOT ( Class 3) I have sought many, and price is not the defining point, I have had expensive quick detach that are of poor quality, but they have name recognition, while a screw on liberty at half the price is quieter on the same host, same ammo, same day. Many people will tell you untruths, listen to them yourself. Note the same can will sound different a 32F, 80% humidity, than same can at 70 F , 95% humidity in the same host with the same ammo in the same location. Be Safe
When you do get the can(s),
be sure and put anti-sieze on
the end caps so they don't
freeze in place. I have a bud
in Kansas who had to send
his .22 can to SilencerCo to
get get it unfrozen.
.22 cans generate a lot of
vaporized lead that almost
acts like a crude powder
coat on the first couple of
baffles and where the end
caps screw in.

I have an Omega 300 from Silencerco. It’s a .30 cal. and full auto rated though I don’t use it that way. It is rated for use up to .300 Win. Mag. You can buy adapters for different threads so I use on everything from an 11.5” 5.56 AR up to a 24” 7mm Mag., a 25” M40A1 in .308 and quite a few in between. I still use ear plugs but all these guns are much quieter and the recoil reduction is significant. The versatility is great. Next up will be something for the .22. Buy one - you’ll love it, but I bet you won’t stop at one!
A trust is not necessarily needed to handle the death of the owner. IF the items are listed in the decedent's will the NFA items can pass to the designated heir through a "Form 5" which is a tax free transfer. The recipient will still have to submit the form, fingerprints and photo, but no fee is required.
There is a lot of good information in the above posts & photos.
Sound suppression is not really simple and involves a lot of different factors.
If anyone wants to go down the rabbit hole of information and data related to silencers you might want to take a look at the pewscience.com web site. It contains a lot of general and specific information.

Since many of you that replied have several: Is it easier and faster to get a suppressor once you have been approved the first time?

Yes, have heard that those used on 22's need cleaning much more often. A good reason to get a owner serviceable suppressor.
You can really see 22 lead
plating when shooting an
M16 with a conversion kit.
After about 300 rounds in
full auto you get what looks
like solder stelagtites on the
flash hider.
The easy way to clean it
off is to run a mag or two
of .223/556 which blows
the solder off the flash hider
and out of the gas tube.

I bought a 22 silencer that I can use on my Ruger 10/22, MKIV, Savage bolt rifle, and a dedicated 22AR upper. I wanted it to be 100% stainless so I could clean it with the dip. Bought it about 8 years ago and waited 4 months for the stamp.
This past summer I made a 9mm silencer on a form 1. I use it on a CZ Scorpion S2, my Glock 23 with a 9mm conversion barrel, and my Sig P365. It honestly took a grand total of 17 days to get my stamp for it.

Here in New Jersey all guns and all gun owners are all suppressed all the time.
