OK, here's the deal. Let me see if I can cobble together my thoughts on this.
Don't own one yet. Want to get two or more.
Ultimately / Eventually, I want to get two very good, overbuilt suppressors, one in 9mm, and one in .22lr, for this setup:
1. The .22lr one will be used on 3 guns: (a) a CZ 452 Scout with a custom 1 in 9" bbl, and Aguila SSS ammo, (b) an AR15 type with Ceiner .22lr conversion, with regular ammo, and (c) (possibly also) a Browning Buckmark .22. It's primary role/use will be on the CZ 452.
2. The 9mm one needs to supremely overbuilt, if such a thing exists, because I intend to use it on 3 guns, including (a) CZ 85 with threaded barrel, in 9x19mm, (b) a custom SBR turnbolt in .338 Phantom, with a 10" threaded 1 in 6.5 twist bbl - but NEVER with anything except subsonic loads (300 SMKs @ 1,050), and (c) (possibly also) a T/C Contender in .357 Mag, 8" bbl, threaded (of course). It's primary use will be the custom .338 spectre turnbolt.
Now, as you can see, the 2 third (c) options are undecided present, and I could be happy without suppressing these ultimately, but if I could, it would be a bonus. But I definitely want to swap the .22 between the CZ 452 and the AR15 w/Ceiner, and definitely want to swap the 9mm between the CZ85 and the .338 Phantom turnbolt (subsonic only).
But, for now, for the time being, until I can afford to get the 2nd suppressor (which the 2nd one will be the good .22lr rimfire one), I want to get a fantastic overbuilt 9mm one, and use on the two 9mm guns, and then also temporarily use it to suppress the .22s, until I get the dedicated .22 one. In my understanding, a 9mm suppressor will still suppress a .22 a lot - enough to make a real difference. It needs to be overbuilt to handle the extra powder/gas needed for subsonic .338 Spectre loads.
Which one fits this description? And I suppose I *may* need one that is adaptable to different threadings - at a minimum, it needs to fit standard AR15 threads (1/2 x 28 tpi).
I suppose that I can make ALL of these ultimately be the same threading, of 1/2 x 28 tpi:
--AR15 (already is)
--CZ 452 Scout custom (will build it to my specs)
--.338 spectre custom (will build it to my specs)
--Browning Buckmark (can have it threaded to my specs)
--T/C Contender .357 mag (can have it threaded to my specs)
But what about my aftermarket CZ85/75 bbl that I buy - what threading will be the standard on those? What's the "pistol standard" threading specs? Are these also 1/2 x 28? Or can you choose among multiple threadings when ordering? Obviously, I want my first suppressor to be able to fit ALL 6 of these, if at all humanly possible. My guess is pistols are 5/8ths or bigger, to accomodate big bores like .45..... I know nothing about pistol suppressors...
Also, although the 9mm one needs to be large/overbuilt, it needs to be able to work with a locked breech handgun like a CZ 75. Are these two thing irreconcilably opposed, or very possible to do at the same time? Will I need one small and one large? If so, then I'm gonna forget about suppressing the CZ 85 and just look at a huge one for the .338 spectre.
What other things should I know / consider?
Thanks very much.
Sorry, noobish questions....
