22 silencers are awesome.
As a left handed shooter, I kind of hate silencers because they scorch my face. But I love 22 silencers. They're very 'James Bondish' due to their size; i.e., they're very cool!
Anytime I show a mounted pistol silencer to someone who has never seen a silencer, their first comment is always something to the effect of, 'that's huge'.
Most people, including myself, formed their first visual of a silencer from the movies, and they're almost never full sized in the movies.
With hearing protection on, they even sound like a movie silencer.
Congratulations on a wise choice!
