    You're gonna love that MKIV, especially if you've ever had to take down an earlier Ruger MK pistol.

    I run a TBAC 22 Takedown (Ti/magnum rated) on mine (scary black model), sweet guns for sure. So much fun to shoot with (Gemtech) subs.

    I've never had any .22 pistols, but was aware of the Ruger takedown issue. I originally thought I'd get a Smith Victory, but this was tough to resist.

    ETA: I need to do some serious organizing now.

    The can's a take down, not the pistol.

    I would have went with a can that goes on to a brake, instead of direct thread. Unless that end cap is removable.

    We're talking about how easy it is to take down and reassemble the Mark IV.

    I also thought I'd get a can that went on flash hider, but ended up getting that one instead. It will pretty much live on two .30 cal guns, so I don't think it's that big of a deal. I think the newer versions have that mounting option though. I'm going to check when I go back in.

    I had a direct thread, till i realized as most do. They have more than 1 gun they want to use the suppressor on.

    There's no right or wrong way when it comes to muzzle brake or direct thread mount. WE (those of use with NFA items) already know it's not the first 30 cal can you'll own.



    Regarding the ruger 22/45 there's an aftermarket kit that makes it easier for those who have issues reassembling their pistol. Or want to simplify things

    Cavscout, when will you be up here next? I need to borrow your fishing magnet. I was trying a new configuration in my locker to try and fit everything and managed to lodge a rifle in the way of the locking mechanism. Now everything is locked in there. I've done this before, but usually I'm able to shoulder the locker and knock something loose so I can get back in. That doesn't seem to be the case this time. Damnit.

    Well the benefit for sure would be not having to remove flash hiders first, especially using on any of the .223 stuff I have.

    Wiring sucks,....but it sucks a little more when you're doing it right.
