I have a Pilot. Its a great can, but there are better ones out there. The SWR Warlock come to mind, SRT's Cheyenne XL is another one. AAC's Aviator is just a Pilot with an extra baffle stack in there. AWC also makes one hell of a good can as well.... Like I said I have the Pilot, but if I had it to do over again I would get the Warlock from SWR.
If you're wanting to compare Apples to Apples, you might want to look into GemTech's Outback II (the think sounds almost exactly like the Pilot).
All of your user serviceable cans, the ones that come apart, will not be as quiet as the sealed ones. I dont know why this is, but I've shot LOTS of various .22 suppressors, and every disassemblable can that I've shot (Tac (series), Prodigy, and some others Im forgetting right now) has been louder than their sealed counterparts.
The major myth one must get past is the one saying .22 is so dirty sealed cans will get too dirty to function and you have no way of cleaning them. The real truth is sealed cans are quiet easy to clean. Soak them over night in Paint thinner or give them a 5 day soak in Mineral Spirits, and tap the coupling end on a hard surface... then blow them dry with an air compressor. You're done. You do this about ever 5 to 7,000 rounds and they will last you a life time.
FWIW.
