    How much is the "tax? I use it to dispatch non-targeted turtles, primarily and snakes too. It is loud though and a pain to put in ear plugs.

    Have a recomendation to a link I could look at?

    I can't remember the number but I can ask him Tuesday. I'll find out which filter also. He found an adaptor for his gun and filter to work. Locks on with a set screw if I remember correctly.

    Depends on the caliber you're trying to suppress, for the .22 I believe it's an additional $150-$200 one time fee per suppressor. I'll talk to my girls dad and get back with you.

    Dam, neat. How do you "aim"? I guess it's "point" with that on it.

    Yep. I sighted in a new scope on my 10/22 and ran a couple of boxes of .380 through my new Luger LCP pocket pistol. I shot the PPK too and surprisingly the LCP puts less pop into my hand than the much heavier Walther on the same cartridge. Not one jam, either. I had been told that they were a little finicky until a couple of hundred rounds went through them. No hammer and no safety gets a little getting used to.

    Be careful where you put the fingers when pulling it out.

    I've been looking at a few different .22's for me and the kid to go out and plink shit with. Just can't make up my mind. Probably end up getting the AR style .22 since I can get decent deals on them. But I can't get over how much the .22 ammunition has gone up since I last owned one.
