I didn’t know Dolly, but got to meet her and other Grand Ole Opey stars during the Fall of 1983. I worked summers at Opryland during college and for 1 Fall I was an usher at the Opry. She was tiny (5’ if she was lucky) but had the biggest smile and personality of them all. She would take the time, when she saw us knucklehead ushers, to come over and say hello and thank us. Thoughtful and down to earth. Most of the country stars were down to earth back then (e.g. Stringbean, Grandpa Jones, Roy Clark, Roy Acuff, Barbara Mandrell, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, … and of course Dolly). Fun times. The best job I had (even @ $3.75 an hour) other than flying in the AF.

Honestly, get both. Not just because more is better 🤣😂. You're getting too fundamentally different shooting experiences with the two suppressors you mentioned. With 22 you can have the spooky silent experience, which is really neat. Especially if you put it on a bolt action rifle. My buddy and I were out at the range recently and it was quieter than a normal volume conversation. 556 is supersonic, so it's not going to be quiet per se, but it does dramatically improve the shooting experience. You'll still want hearing protection on if you're the one shooting, but when my friends shoot suppressed 556, as long as I'm 10 or more feet away, hearing protection is optional. If you insist on only getting one, get whichever one you shoot more. My intention is to convert as many of my weapons over to suppressed as possible. It's just more enjoyable to shoot suppressed. Kind of makes me angry, because if the NFA hadn't included silencers for the last hundred years, it's crazy to think of how much quieter all firearms would be in general as suppressor technology would be incorporated at a base level. Oh well, at least now that can happen.

The worst part is this sheriff has zero skin in the game - there will be no accountability when his decree gets destroyed in court. There needs to be real penalties for public “servants” decreeing wildly anti-constitutional bullshit with reckless abandon. They’re like monkeys throwing shit at the wall constantly to see what sticks.

The 1911 takes two actions, initially. 😉 And tactical lights help prevent shooting at the wrong thing. My dot is green, so I'm good. Seriously, someone will file suit and lawyers will spend citizen money because, dumbassery.
