I only tested this in my beretta 21A with a suppressor barrel. It functioned fine both with and without a suppressor. I was only shooting for function and enough accuracy to be able to hit a 6” circle at 3 yards. That wasn’t a problem with this ammo.

Probably my favorite 22lr very fast flat nosed bullet deep penetration, I use these in my edc with full confidence after testing in a few guns long and short barrel over 1000 f/s in my bobcat cycles perfectly too

About Federal 22 LR
The Punch design centers on a 29 grain Flat Nose bullet with a heavy nickel-plated jacket over a lead core. Federal built this Federal 22 LR ammo to promote velocity from short barrels while maintaining the penetration focus expected from a defensive handgun load.
As 22 LR ammunition, it uses rimfire priming and offers mild recoil compared with larger defensive handgun categories. The nickel plated brass case is intended to reduce corrosion and improve extraction, making this 22 Long Rifle ammo from Federal relevant for shooters who want a compact rimfire defensive load rather than general plinking ammunition.
