    CCI quiets

    Has anyone tried adapting CCI Quiet 22 to an autoloader? I've got an old Colt pre-Woodsman. It feeds and fires the Quiets just fine, but I have to manually cycle the slide. My thoughts were to get a new recoil spring and progressively cut coils off of it until I reach a point where the Quiets...
