New toy finally arrived
Ruger 45/22 with tactical innovations suppressor. Ran a clip through it using aguilla heavy subsonic rounds last night in the garden. seems quieter than my .20 cal spring air rifle. I am pleased.

Re: New toy finally arrived
Cool beans, Mike !
Suppressors & silencers are banned (period) by my state, Fed permit or not - so I have to use quiet ammo like Colibri Super Aquila .22 Short.
My new toy arrived yesterday, too - only it's gonna be LOUD .

Re: New toy finally arrived
Thats nice . Do your Aguila's stabilize? I have tried them in 4 different .22's and they all have bullet tipping at even at 15 yards,.
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

Re: New toy finally arrived
Very nice Ruger setup. Looks like something that 007 would carry.
It would be interesting to see what it would measure on a dB meter w/without can on it.

Re: New toy finally arrived
The can does not seem to affect accuracy. I shot it today quite a bit walking cans all over the place. I didnt shoot at targets for accuracy, was just trying out practical accuracy. This seems to be as accurate as any of the 4-5 inch rugers. I am quite impressed with it.

Re: New toy finally arrived
I have not noticed the bullets tipping. In fact I used them last year out of my Model 61 pump to great affect on the bushy tail population. I didn't notice them tipping today while plinking but I wasn't really looking for it. I will try it on paper maybe tomorrow.

Re: New toy finally arrived
Texas allows suooressors for everything but hunting game and that law may be changed very soon as it has tremendous support in Austin.

My integral-barrel suppressor for my Ruger lever-action 96/22 came with instructions which specifically warned against the Aguilla SSS ammo - the bullets are heavy enough to not stabilize, and can keyhole while IN the suppressor, causing a baffle-strike.
I'd want to be sure the rifling twist and velocity you're getting out of that particular gun would allow stability sufficient to be recommended by the suppressor manufacturer.

Re: New toy finally arrived
That's really a cool piece, Mike. We can get suppressors now in Washington. Just have to go through the application process. As an LEO I can have one, but onlly as long as I'm with the department. Now, I could get one on my own.
