the p22 will probably be the next gun purchase for me. i'm highly intrigued by the option to silence it and if anyone has any more info regarding it please post. i've seen the subsonic 22lr and that alone is a bonus. chuck, are those the extended barrels mentioned above/ it's expensive taking my gp-100 to the range every weekend and am in the market for a lower cost addition...this may be it. not to mention 'fun factor'.
Its really not that bad. If you have a good dealer he can make the process painless. You are gonna have to pay a one time $200 dollar tax thats a given with just about any class III stuff. The good news is that suppresion for .22's is pretty good even with the cheaper companies, and when I say pretty good I mean movie style "putt-putt" noises. The first step is to find the silencer you want or a local dealer you want to go with. Then print out the forms here
http://www.titleii.com/Forms.htm Fill them out and get fingerprinted at the local jail. Take them to your dealer along with a check for $200, and then you wait. Lately, wait times have been as good as 2 weeks and as bad as 3 months. As soon as the paper work arrives you will get a call from your dealer telling you you can come pick up your new toy. Now all you have to do is enjoy. I keep a copy of my approved form with my class III stuff just in case I get a police officer that has a hard time believing I'm not an "assasin".
I've got some experience in this area so let me know if you have any questions.
If you are checking out the Gemtechs take a look at Advanced Armament Corporation too. They have some good stuff and a pretty comprehensive web site.
