I've shot cottontail rabbits with them, knocks their socks off DRT ! Shooting about 75 feet, never knew what hit 'em !

As already said and I'm only confirming the information.
CCI CB - 29gr LRN .22 Shorts @710 fps (CCI Part #0026)
CCI CB Long - 29gr LRN .22 Longs @710 fps (CCI Part #0038)
CCI Quiet-22 - 40gr LRN .22 LR @710 fps (CCI Part #960)
All 3 can be used without hearing protection. The Quiet-22 is fairly new and slightly louder than the CB rounds and carried a little more energy because of the heavier bullet at the same velocities. When you need something that will go unnoticed yet still take that varmint all 3 will do the job although I'm liking the 40gr Quiet-22 better all the time for slightly larger varmints than squirrels. The 29gr CB Longs do a great job on squirrels and the shot sound won't be noticed by the neighbors.

The CCI Quiet are not "quiet" in my guns , but the CB longs are.

I use CCI CBs in my Rossi Gallery Rifle to shoot squirrels off the bird feeder. If I shoot from inside my wife says she can't hear the shot outside. They are quiet.

Remington shorts out of a 6" revo are pretty quiet. Not silent, but how sensitive are these other animals?
Of course, I was wearing earplugs at the range the last time I fired any...

I don't know whether it's the animals or the neighbors she is concerned about.

CCI quiet .22 gets my vote. I tried the 29 grain LongZ from Winchester, I was getting 4 inch patterns from my CZ452 at 25 meters. The quiet .22 gave a 1/2 inch group.
From a rifle there was no discomfort when shot on an indoor range. From a revolver there was still a slight ouch factor.

I use CCI CBs to dispatch problem skunks and possums after I've trapped them. They want to live under my deck, and I can't have it. No city agency will take them, so I'm on my own.
Out of a .22 rifle they are quieter than any pellet rifle I've owned.
Unfortunately, out of either of my 4" & 5" .22 pistols, they are quite a bit louder, more than I can comfortably get away with in my urban environment.
So I use the rifles. The CB shorts will feed 95% of the time in my bolt-action, and I do the single shot thing in my semi- auto.

Not exactly. If you don't use sub-sonic ammo, the effect is limited.
Nope, a Ruger Single-six is what she's got. I'm not going to tell her to buy a new gun, apply for a suppressor, do the waiting, and pay the tax for a rodent problem at work. (For pete sake.)

Everything from a barrel 4" and shorter is subsonic. 22 CBs from a revolver, while quieter that full power ammo, are not, by any means, quiet. They are still LOUD. IF used in a rifle with a barrel 20" and longer, then they are quiet. They are even LOUD in a 10/22 and Beretta Neos Carbine. There is no trick to getting a handgun quiet. The only way is to suppress it. Believe me... Ive tried everything possible. I now have quiet handguns. One is pictured in my post above. Good Luck.

What better excuse to buy a new gun? 
CB's in a lever action are super quiet, hammer hitting the firing pin almost makes more noise than the round. Any of them thru a revolver will be noisy due to the gas leakage at the cylinder gap, so if she wants quiet a new gun would be in order. Or if she knows someone with a lever she could borrow......

They all shoot, but I've never shot anything buy paper to know if they can kill a gopher.
As long as its not semi-auto, ammo labeled .22lr should be able to shoot from anything labeled .22lr. Semi-autos don't usually cycle with low velocity ammo. I don't know how loud they are since I can barely hear regular .22lr.
