MAXIM, um, Performance (lol)
The first suppressor I ever 'fired' was an old Maxim mounted on a High Standard. Ten shots out the bedroom window into a dirt bank. At night. Qualitatively speaking, it sounded about the same as firing a spring-piston air gun.
If the Maxim had (or has) any bugs in the design, the one at the top of my list would probably be takedown. I'm not sure they come apart at all, which would be a non-starter for me, especially with .22 rimfire ammo. Even the 'cleanest' brands are pretty messy and will gum up a can sooner or later.
IMO, the 'best' .22 rimfire suppressors come apart easily and have stainless steel baffles, etc. that will stand up to rigorous cleaning (e.g., bead blasting). For maximum utility, 1/2-28 threads are probably also best.
