22 Suppressor?

Just picked up a Dead Air Mask last week. Love it so far. On my Glock 44 with subsonic or standard velocity it’s pretty quiet. On my CZ 457 bolt gun about all you hear is the firing pin drop with subs and it’s not much louder with standards.
I put a streamlight TLR-VIR ir light/laser and on the Glock 44 and planning on running it with my NVG.

I have a tbac 22 takedown gen 1 and it is a great suppressor (rifle on ground in pic). Very well made, user serviceable for cleaning, and the accuracy on my vudoo was not impacted. They have a gen 2 out now that is upgraded a little but I haven’t used one.

The first can i ever bought is the old tacsol cascade on the B14r on the block in pic. It is very light <4oz while still having great suppression and my groups actually got tighter with that rifle using it. It is a sealed can with aluminum baffles and was steadily picking up weight (getting more fouled) using the mfg recommended mineral spirits for cleaning. However, with the introduction of breakfree suppressor cleaner it came back to original weight with just 2 cleanings. I think the crud inside was pretty thick and hardened. Now i just soak overnight, rinse, blow it with air and its good to go. With the breakfree cleaner i would be fine buying a sealed 22 can again if i wanted it as light as possible for a pistol.

For kicks and giggles I bought a Bear Creek 17 HMR. I'm going to use it mainly for ground squirrels.
I put my OCL Polonium on it and it sounds really quiet to me, but I was wondering if a 22 Can would be any better.
Is anyone shooting 17 HMR with a Can?

I shoot a mask on my 17 upper, quiets the loud pop of the hmr pretty good. Upper cycles fine with it. Shoot 17 through 30 cal can too, its just heavy compared to the mask, I haven't put them side and compared but I think the 30 cal is a tad quieter.

Thanks Rhett. I was thinking of buying another Polonium 5.56 just because it can be used on other rifles, but your right about the weight.
The Polonium is 13.5 oz where as the Titanium 22 is only 4 oz. I'm going to wait until January and try to make a decision than.

I shoot my AB Littlebird on my Savage 93/17. It seems to do pretty well. I tried my AB A10 on it as well, which is a 7.62 suppressor. I was hoping the larger can would be quieter. I really couldn't tell a difference. I've stuck with the smaller suppressor on my 17s and 22s. I can't tell a difference in sound and like the weight savings.
