A Form 1 suppressor is a scratch-built suppressor, not a commercial offering.

My only data points for rimfire suppressors are the few that I've handled and the one that I own.
Most are decent.
Few seem easy to clean.

My preference is for the 'sleeved' design of the SilencerCo Sparrow and Tactical Solutions Ascent .22.

I went with the Ascent .22. I didn't need the extra weight that came with .22 Hornet and 5.7x28mm capability, so there wasn't much point in paying for it.
The Ascent .22 is plenty good on pistols, and even better on rifles.
The diameter is small enough to still allow the use of factory sights on my rifles and pistols.
Although it does have aluminum baffles (and a stainless blast baffle), I expect its lifespan to be greater than my own.
The upside of those aluminum baffles is that it weighs next to nothing.
Easy to disassemble, clean, and reassemble. I plan to buy at least one more.
