Stainless steel if you want a .22lr can. In fact, if you're trying to stay on a budget, a .22lr can isn't a bad place to start.
Aluminum isn't bad either, but usually the price difference is negligible.

If you absolutely want a lightweight can, either Ti or Al for the .22 can. If that isn’t your concern, the stainless for durability and ease of cleaning
Although I will say with my aluminum monocore, I coat the core in a thin layer of dielectric grease (large tubes at auto parts stores for cheap) and it acts as an ablative as well as allowing me to wipe most of the build up off easily with a qtip or paper

Not necessarily after a lightweight can, just going back and forth what I really need, which is just a decent to good can for mostly rifle plinking.
On the lower end the stinger looks decent -$275 alum tube/stainless k baffles
Then it’s like just spend it, and the dead air mask and oculus have good looking stats Ti/stainless/modular at $400Last edited by mustangfreek; 12 April 2020 at 03:44.

What 22 cans you guys using?
The CGS hydra Al looks like a decent middle of the road option
17-4 stainless end cap and direct thread mount, 7075 hard coat anodized baffles-a shielded K version baffle, to keep it sealed off the aluminum tube, everything is anodized
Any qualms about such a can on the nothing special host I laid out couple -16” .22 lr and one pistol host

I had to go look at that aac halcyon . It is a modular can with only 5 or so baffles... probably why it’s louder..or was you referencing the k baffles?

The Apex and the Mask, to my ear, sound the same in terms of sound but different tone (to be expected...different baffles). The Mask is easier to clean but $100+ more and heavier. Innovative has a SS .22 can called the Slingshot (I wanted a light weight one and the Slingshot wasn’t out at the time).
The Optimus Micro is the quietest but largest so it’s hard to compare it (rated for .22-250/224 Valkyrie/12.5” 5.56 etc)
I’d look at the Rugged Oculus and the CGS group Hydra (2 versions, AL or SS) or Siren (22lr only, carbon fiber tube)
It also depends on your host. If you want something to stay on a rimfire Rifle or to use on a .17hmr or 5.7 or something, that narrows it down a lot. But if you want to use it a lot on a pistol host, I’d look at something tough but a midweight contender (HINT RUGGED OCULUS 4.3oz) My Apex is 3.5oz. The Mask is 6.6oz.
If you could find a Sparrow in stock somewhere, it would be awesome. Older but one of the best
