Sparrow and it's competitors

So I'm considering getting a suppressor, while I still have a little of Uncle Joe's money and the rules seem to be minimally painful.

I went to one of the larger gun rooms that runs radio ads and they have a silencer shop kiosk and were nice enough to let me handle some of their stock, but I didn't shoot anything.

I pulled out and inexpensive sig suppressor, a warlock, something from I think Yankee hill manufacturing or something like that, a sparrow and the one that Ruger makes to go with the 10/22. Going just on feel alone I really like the sparrow, but the Ruger seemed okay a little bulkier and maybe a touch heavier, none of the aluminum models really felt confidence inspiring. Even though the sig brought the price down to where of I didn't need to pay the tax stamp and could walk out with it I would take it as an impulse buy. Looking on line the other one that I was hoping to look at but they didn't have was the hydra, but a little bit of the appeal there is the anodized tube and my inner redneck's love of shiny objects.

I like the appeal of being able to run up to .22 hornet in theory with the higher cost cans, but this will mostly be a plinker toy in reality. I considered going solvent trap but honestly I don't see the cost benefit, and I don't want to waste a tax stamp on something that I could easily screw up when I could just spend a little more money and get something better.

The primary host will be a plain model of Ruger's charger pistol no take down barrel, all factory parts, wearing a Burris fast fire III with a shroud over the optic. If I get approved for a suppressor I might sbr it into a pocket rifle and drop it into rifle chassis but largely I'm satisfied with how it works as is.

I'd appreciate any feedback it's kinda a pain how big of a deal it is to get one but it is what it is and I'd rather get it right and ask questions now than run on autopilot and regret it later.

Any other models I should be looking at?
Any flaws in my thought process?
I know there's a few stamp collectors here any pointers that you wish you knew before hand? Pitfalls I should try and avoid?

I saw that coupon and it's pretty tempting but I don't know what I would use the gift card on and am not really done feeling it out and looking at my options.

I don't think that I will be able to take advantage of the gift card on the dead air unfortunately but it's definitely in the running there's actually a few places that do nfa stuff one fairly close by so I might try and see if I can take a look at what they have. Their prices on ammo and firearms is terrible even pre 'rona but they are very good on accessories and magazines, weirdly.

I don't currently plan on using it with a pistol, err....at least with a barrel less than ten inches but could be a factor and now that I know it's an issue I have found some reports on the first round pop on the sparrow but it also reports you can mitigate it somewhat with a spray bottle of water, so I'm not quite ready to drop it.

If anyone has any experience with the Ruger suppressor I'm interested it was a wider diameter and proportionately heavier than the Sparrow with a similar length and about $50 more expensive but if it is a good value I don't want to dismiss it for that. As well as any other leads.

I'll try and keep an eye out for a thunder beast but it keeps coming up out of stock, but I really like the idea that the baffles are keyed and labeled to protect the less than innocent end user and the weight and length seem to gel with what I'm looking to do.

I think I'm closing in on a 'plan' the mask is really looking like it's too highly recommended to pass over, however I really like the unique flame anodized tube on the hydra (incredibly stupid reasoning I know) and all of the reviews I am seem pretty positive. I would still want to see them in person before I buy but I don't think that's going to be possible so I might just get the mask or do a coin toss or something.

Some more generalized questions, it looks like I'm going to have to go through the silencer shop directly. What's the general experience with them like? Do I just find a kiosk and go to town?

I generally avoid titanium because I know that it's cleaning procedure is different than other metals, any tips and tricks I want to know beyond avoid abrasives?

I tend to use Aguila federal and cci ammunition and usually select high velocity brass washed bullets with a few lead round noses thrown in, does my .22 diet need to change for the suppressor?

What about those new polymer coated cci rounds (note: I still haven't ever actually seen these on the shelf yet but eventually they should appear right?) anyone use them are they any cleaner or is it just a gimick?

I'm still at a coin toss over the mask and the hydra right now I'm waiting on a friend to pay me back. I loaned them a bit of my stimulus so they could make a down payment on a bigger van for new kid.

I hadn't considered the Oculus but I'm fairly certain that the element isn't around right now for bankruptcy reasons.
