I think you are on the right track. A rimfire suppressor is definitely the best value/fun ratio. I have the Sparrow myself and the clamshell design makes it easy to clean (which is an important feature since .22 suppressors crud up badly).

My only comment would be if you are going to SBR the .22 rifle, I’d consider going even shorter. All the 12” barrel will do is make marginally subsonic rounds into supersonic rounds without increasing velocity any practical amount. At about 4”, almost all .22 is subsonic.
