PTP Tactical 19D Scout .22 suppressor?

[awp_101]

Thinking about one as my entry into the world of stamp collecting. Local place has them in stock at an attractive price and it's user serviceable. Use will simply be for fun on a Ruger MK pistol and a rifle or 2.

Scout 19D

The Scout 19D and Scout 19DM Mini offers more bang for your buck than any others .22 suppressor on the market.
The Scouts outer tube is machined from 7075 T6 Aluminum and finished with a Type III military-spec hardcoat anodizing.
The Scout is built to last, featuring a completely shielded solid core baffle stack comprised of heat-treated 17-4 ph stainless steel baffles & a blast encapsulater, stainless steel inserted thread mount system with an industry first self-tensioning wave washer system. This innovative design allows for a user serviceable suppressor that will hold up to anything you throw at it.


The Scout 19D will handle standard .22 short, .22lr, .22 magnum, .17 HMR, and even rimfire FULL AUTO!
The Scout is designed with a universal baffle stack allowing the user to interchange the baffles to aid in even wear across the baffle system. Made out of stainless steel the entire solid core baffle stack can be easily cleaned using standard CLP or an ultra-sonic cleaner.


Both the Scout 19D and the Scout 19DM are supplied with a dual function take-down tool, service & warranty information pamphlet, suppressor warranty registration card and a PTP Tactical patch and decal. The Scout 19D also comes with a Battle Cloth carry pouch inside a rugged telescoping PTP Tactical box.

I'm sure that can will work just fine, but I'll never own a .22LR can that has aluminum involved. There's a lot of very effective cleaning techniques and solvents that are not aluminum safe, and the convenience of Titanium in those instances is worth every penny of the additional expense, nevermind the even greater weight benefit.

Also, consider the total cost instead of just the cost of the can. A $265 suppressor is going to be around $500-ish all-in thanks to the shipping, transfer, and the $200 tax stamp. That also makes a $465 top-shelf Titanium 'forever' suppressor from a much more established name in the game is a ~$700 proposition. Spending ~$700 for a well-regarded all Ti .22LR can is worth every bit of the cost difference.

I'm also not a huge fan of the almost-cringey bro veteran naming conventions. I also guffawed out loud when I read their description of the '11B Ranger' pistol suppressor, which is a ho-hum monocore can made out of AL (a combination notorious for first-round pop and generally reduced effectiveness) is the 'quietest 9mm suppressor on the market'. A lot of guys a lot smarter than me have been analyzing a lot of methodically collected data https://pewscience.com/rankings and absolutely none of the top performers are monocore AL cans.

Based on the Pewscience data and the proven customer support for anything that comes up, I'd lean hard toward the OCL Titanium (which is 100% Ti) or the Rugged Oculus (which is slightly better performing but much heavier being 100% 17-9 stainless steel) for a 'forever' .22LR can.

Perfect, thanks @JRB! I’d forgotten about the potential cleaning issues with aluminum.

That one caught my eye simply because he has it in the shop but it looks like he can get an AAC Halcyon which checks the Ti and overall value boxes.
