Well the wait for approval is over and I was able to pick up my suppressor. It adds a very enjoyable dimension to my 22 rim fire experience,and I wish I had not waited so long to acquire one. Our friends/brothers across the pond despite having horrible gun control,do not control suppressors(sound moderators to them)and enjoy quite shooting. With the Buck Mark as a host you only hear the bullet impact and the slide reloading the next round. On my 16" CZ 452 you only hear the bullet impact. Regards

cool. thanks for the posting...

would you be willing to post a "to do" list,
with wait-times, paper-work, fees,
websites, sources/models, etc.etc...
(with no personal disclosure, of course)...

but a helpful "to do" list for consideration of others...

Does the BuckMark+suppressor have a preference of
ammo? LRN-vs-HP, SubSonic-vs-StdVel-vs-?? or Brand...
for performance, cleaning...

take care and good luck...

Sure,it is really not a bad process with a few quirks. First you find out if you live in a state that doesn't forbid ownership of items covered by the Act which includes full auto weapons,silencers. If, you live where it is OK as most do you find a class 3 dealer which is a regular FFL that has an additional license to deal in these items. You demo various suppressors to see what will match your needs. Then you choose a suppressor and pay the dealer for it up front. The serial number/description of the item is listed on a form packet that includes two finger print cards(done at my police dept for $5) and a place for a picture(passport type) of you. You take the paperwork to the Sheriff of your county and he has a place to sign off that he/she sees no reason why you can't own the item. Then the packet along with a check for $200(one time tax for this item) is mailed into the ATF. The ATF cashes your check and an examiner checks you out to assure that you have the right to own the item. This process takes 6 to eight weeks,and after approval the ATF sends your packet back to the dealer who tells you that you can pick up the item.
My Buck Mark likes most any ammo, I shoot a lot of Remington Golden bulk pack. It stays subsonic in the short pistol barrels. Regards

Seems like a lot to go through. Plus you have to get the barrel threaded to accept the suppressor. Suppressors seem to be a popular addition to Walther P22's. I suppose because the non-California editions have threaded barrels to start.

Not that bad,took me about two hours to see the Sheriff,prints,picture. The real time is waiting your turn for the examiner to process your paperwork. I bought a tired old Buck Mark and stuck on a new TacSol threaded barrel. Another option is to have the barrel threaded which can run $60 t0 $100. With the P22 and the Sig Mosquito or the S&W 422 series you only install a $40 adapter. I've many new places to shoot now that I don't contribute to noise pollution. Regards
