I have run 100 rounds through mine with a can. I used a Outback 2 and blazer ammo as that is what I had on hand.

 

Do it all the time. It is safe.

 

Look what I found on the Ruger site by clicking on the detailed muzzle cap removal instructions......

Your Ruger 22/45 LITE comes equipped with a threaded barrel and is protected by a removable muzzle cap. The cap protects the 1/2-28 threads at the end of the barrel which is designed to accommodate a .22 Long Rifle sound suppressor. To remove the muzzle cap, point the pistol in a safe direction, remove the magazine, and keep your finger off the trigger. Retract the bolt to the rear, and lock it to the rear by pushing up on the bolt lock. Verify that the chamber is empty. Depress the bolt lock to close the bolt. Keep your fingers out of the receiver! Hold the upper receiver/barrel section of the pistol firmly in your left hand, and turn the muzzle cap counter-clockwise, until removed from the threaded portion of the barrel. (See Figure 1a.) Gripping the muzzle cap by the knurled section will aid in twisiting the cap free. Remove the cap and the wave washer under the cap (See Figure 1b.) and store them in a safe place for reinstallation when the suppressor is removed.

All that to say "unscrew"......?

 

I used several different types of ammunition in my .22/45 LITE with a GemTech Outback II.

What exactly is your concern?

My concern was that Ruger didn't mention suppressor use like they do with the "Threaded Barrel" models. Since I found the product sheet that documents suppressor use I am satisfied.

 

Suggestions?

 

Try the standard velocity offerings from CCI. They shot well in my threaded LITE.

I just bought a Lite today and the first thing I did was screw on my Outback II. I noticed just a little gap between the barrel and suppressor. On my other 22/45 it bottomed out against the barrel. Anyone else experience this? OP, it is perfectly safe to shoot the Lite with a suppressor.

 

Some of the outback II's had a issue with the titanium thread insert not being all the way in OR moving. If you send it back ( call them FIRST ) they will break it down and pin it in place.

 

I shot my Lite today with a buddies Outback II. Yes, there was a gap. I'm debating getting the IID.

 

Mine does not have a gap.

I've put over 1000 rounds through a Silencerco Sparrow/Lite combo. Almost everything stays subsonic - I shoot a lot of Minimags with no problems. I do get a little "first round pop" with the Lite/Sparrow combo. Not so much with my rifles.

I can eliminate the the first round pop by shooting a CCI quiet as the first round but the quiet isn't powerful enough to cycle the bolt.

 

KC, Try a nose spray bottle to spritz a tiny amount of water before your first shot. This has been discussed and all agree it cures first round pop. Bob

 

I can't imagine why anybody would think that any modern handgun wouldn't be safe to use with a suppressor! Why would you think a 22/45 might not be?

 

22/45


Mine runs just fine with my Tactical Innovations can.

 

Try using CCI Standard Velocity ammo. Much better than the CCI Quiet stuff.
