Hi John,
I almost ordered some the other day to try it out. I wish I would have, because now it's showing 'out of stock'.

There's a pretty thorough review of it at http://www.legalsilencer.com/?p=80
Basically the reviewer likes it and reaches the conclusion that it is measurably better than CCI Standard Velocity.

Thanks, my Google-fu turned up much of the same.

I would have thought that "suppressed .22LR" would be a smaller niche than "free pistol".

It appears that I would have been wrong.

I have a box, and it is very quiet. From what the fellow at the shop said it is made by CCI especially for Gemtech. It moves at 1000 fps and is more accurate the the CCI quiet that shows 710 fps.

I think it is probably tough to get rid of the pigeons these days without getting arrested.......

I picked up a brick a little while ago and got a chance to shoot it yesterday at 50'.

I did not shoot it out of a pistol, but it functions out of a .22LR AR conversion and will clean the A17 smallbore target.

I fear we are in a brave new world of rimfire ammo - the halcyon days of readily-available cheap and accurate stuff such as CCI SV and Eley Sport are behind us.
