22 cal semi auto pistol to use with suppressor?

[BLJ]

I am very fond of the TX22, Ive played with most of the modern 22lr pistols on the market and it might just be the best out there. Specifically the competition model, Ive run probably 500-600 rounds thru mine at this point without a stoppage.

I’d say I’m to 3k on (2) different compacts and they just keep going.

Hopefully they remain “junk” and don’t get expensive so I can buy more.

Right? I almost hate recommending them to people because of this lol
I just want holsters for the comp model to come around, I've been using one of the old trex arms SD holsters for mine.

“What 22 pistol should I get?”
“Tarurus TX22.”
“I always heard them Taurisses was junk……”
“You’re right. How would you like me to answer your question??”

This is usually how it goes depending on the person i might just skip right to the buckmark or 22/45.. maybe the new s&w 22's, they are pretty good too

I even skip those.

S&W 41.

Then they bitch about the price.

Sig 322; I appreciate how the ergonomics transfer from this to the Sig 365 series (or other similar pistols). Also helps with holster compatibility.

TX 22 shoots awesome. Best Bang for your buck imo

Not finding the TX22 comp threaded. A lot of 22/45s threaded are out of stock also. More people buying with the $200 stamp gone?

100%
suppressors are so common now, a lot of my fudd friends are even buying 1 or 2 suppressors. everybody wants a quiet 22 pistol for possums and coons so they go quick and cheap

So do you think you will see the TX22s soon?

quite a few showing up very soon

Another vote for the Ruger

I’ve got a Keltec p17 and love it. A few hundred rounds of sub and super ammo. Fed and cycled with 0 failures

I like my Buckmark. It’s also very convenient that the barrel is easy to swap and isn’t serialized. I could be wrong but I think on Rugers that is not the case (?)

I suppress it with an OCL Ti 22

Got this S&W 22x today and with our Gnat suppressor I’m really liking it. Functions great so far.

Any experience running them at say -20?

My 22/45 will not magazine feed below like 10f or so. Magazine spring doesnt push hard enough.

This is really interesting, but also a little confusing - most spring materials shouldn't really lose much power in the cold until you get down below -30F ish. When they get really cold they can get a little stiffer, and actually contract a bit, and in really extreme low-temp they can get brittle. With some precision applications you can get material shrinkage around it and cause compression or binding, but that usually needs to be some seriously tight tolerances. At 10F though, they should be perfectly fine. Really curious what's going on here.

The first troubleshooting thing that comes to mind is either some cold lube getting into the mag from firing, or possibly some wax or other bullet coating doing the same. If that got onto the bearing surfaces of the follower or mag, it could gum things up enough to cause that kind of malfunction.

Another thought would be to see if there's any difference between exposed-lead bullets, vs a higher quality one with a copper wash, like Stingers or mini-mags. Different materials would have different friction inside the mag.

This is happening with all your mags? Fresh and old? Any chance it's an old mag that's been kept compressed a lot, or had a lot of cycles on it?

Regardless of what's going on, you might get some good benefit in swapping out the factory springs with extra-power mag springs like these: https://tandemkross.com/green-springs-magazine-springs-for-ruger-mark-series-3-pack/

Its the springs. It doesn't push the round up high enough for the bolt to grab it in the cold. Runs perfect when its warm.
Well that or the Magazine itself is getting smaller in the cold and dragging on the rounds.
Magazines are only a few years old and dont even have all that many rounds through them.

I run a mark 4 ssh with a tabac takedown.

I’m not a pistol guy and have little experience with hardly any of them so I’m not gonna sit here and say this is the best because I own it.

It was a bit rough when first firing. Lots of soft strikes and stovepipes with cci SV. I had to get cci mini mags and it started functioning correctly. But it also is twice as loud vs SV. I shot a mag of SV last week and only had 1 soft strike vs the 3-4 a mag I was getting before. I’m gonna keep burning mini mags thru it and hope it loosens up but if not I’ll be upgrading some internals with volquartsen parts to mitigate it. It’s a bit disappointing but from a form and fit function it was what I wanted so I’m gonna make it work.

No experience anywhere near that.

I’d say low 30’s (complete guess, I can’t recall exactly) is as cold temp as I’ve shot them in.
I’ll say they functioned to freezing.

-10 is about as cold as it gets around here and that’s very rare.
In about 9-10 months remind me about this and I’ll see how they do.
