When I saw the pictures of the outside, I said "At least they're copying Silencerco now."
At least the internals aren't a direct copy of the Sparrow.

I'm pretty sure those baffles are cast.

I actually hope so too. Two reasons, that shape and that Ruger are the leaders in investment cast stainless.Netpackrat wrote:I'm pretty sure those baffles are cast.

It's also probably part of the reason the can is so heavy despite the Ti tube.

The baffles apparently snap together like an Octane's do.JAG2955 wrote:When I saw the pictures of the outside, I said "At least they're copying Silencerco now."

Re: Ruger .22 Suppressor
The baffles are an interesting design, with lots of potential for turbulence. Makes me think they're blowing smoke with they're 40db claim..

Was that a baffle strike on the fourth round fired on the 22mag?Netpackrat wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi_9gPvsj28

Re: Ruger .22 Suppressor
I watched it again a couple of times, and I didn't see anything that I thought was a strike. The reviewer did mention over on Silencertalk that he may have put a little too much water in it when he tested it wet. Since other suppressors use "K" baffles and "M" baffles, I'm just waiting for folks to start calling Ruger's "P" baffles.

Re: Ruger .22 Suppressor
its at about 8:09 on rhe video, Looking again its the fourth and fifth round fired just extra smoke exiting a second after the shot. Didnt happen on first three rounds of that string. Those are supposed to be dry, wonder if he fired them wet.
