I’m looking at getting a suppressor for my Benelli Super Black Eagle 3. I shoot lots of armadillos at my house early morning and late evening. Don’t want to keep bothering the family and neighbors. Too rocky for a .22 rimfire and neighbors too close for any center fire ammo other than a shotgun. Any thoughts on a suppressor? Do any make one that has a choke? I sure like using a tighter choke to hold the pattern.

Even with a silencer, it will likely still bother your family and neighbors sound wise. A live trap and night crawlers is what I’d use.

I have a live trap and catch about 1/2 of the armadillos I shoot in it. Biggest problem is getting them to go in the trap in the middle of the yard. If I put the trap close to a cedar tree and they are close by they will usually go in it. I’ve tried night crawlers in a mesh bag that I put in the trap. If you have any suggestions please let me know. This picture I attached is the night I put the night crawlers into the trap. The armadillo tore up the yard on either side of the trap but wouldn’t go in the trap after the night crawlers. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/11/full-69344-370476-9e2acacf_7b5a_4a46_87ef_ccd144c0821b.jpeg)

What about a .17HMR?
I have a Marlin 17HMR rifle with a suppressor on it, and it works great for pests like that.

I have had a Salvo12 for a few years now. I never use it unless I am shooting subsonic buckshot or slugs.
Mine is really loud with anything more than dove loads and my benelli's (SBE2, SBE3, & Ultra-light) won't cycle with it on them.
If 17 HMR wouldn't be enough I would probably shoot something like a subsonic suppressed 44 mag or something like that.
Stupid quiet, lead bullet, super fun to shoot.
I try to shoot everything subsonic & suppressed.

Anybody know if a lead .22 bullet @ 1180 fps ricochets more than a load of lead shot at the same speed? Does the shot deform more?
