I need my tail kicked for waiting this long but I'm finally buying a rimfire can today! It gets me excited thinking about when that sweet lil noise reducing angel can come home with me. Oh how I dread the wait already but it won't take forever and will be totally worth it. I have a few rifle hosts but no pistol options yet. Is the M&P 22 a good place to start? Thanks in advance.

Finally buying a rimfire can today. Pistol options and advice wanted.

This plus one. I got to do a preview shoot of my 22 can yesterday on my 22/45 lite and it was as fun as expected.
The M&P22 is great, its a great size, the thread adapter is cheap, its reliable. I called Classic City Firearms and picked one up for a stupid cheap price this weekend
What can are you choosing?
Other great rimfire options that come out of the box ready to rumble with a can:
SR22 threaded- ruger rimfire pistol, very reliable
GSG 1911- only needs an adapter but it is the quietest pistol host
Savage FV-SR- Threaded bolt action, heavy barrel, comes with pica-tinny rail for optic, stupid accurate and quiet.
M&P 15-22(or other 22lr AR)- a fairly quiet action, high capacity and accurate.

I can vouch for the savage, from a recent weekend with laxguy and about 600 rounds. With subsonic ammo and the suppressor, it was quieter than my pellet gun. With high velocity ammo, I hit a soda can at ~230 yds.
I already have a 15-22 and the FV-SR so I'm set with rifles for now. The savage is such an awesome rifle.
How much do the M&P 22's usually cost? Do they not have a threaded option so the adapter is the only way to go? I have shot and like the Rugers but the M&P just has my attention. Also can't wait for a dedicated .22 upper for my sbr.
I went with the AAC Prodigy.

This plus two? I have a 22/45 lite as well and love it. Don't forget to add a Walter p22 to the list.
ClassicCityFirearms has them for $325. I've seen them a bit higher online. From what I remember (someone correct me if I'm wrong, please) the barrel is threaded but doesn't protrude past the slide. The easiest thing to do is get a p22 adapter, remove the barrel nut and install the adapter. This is what the barrel looks like with the slide back and the stock barrel nut:
I have a 22/45 lite. I love it. Very light weight and feels perfect with a can on it.
And to think, now I can buy my hosts and my suppressors from my favorite FFL....
