    Supressor

    I think I am about to take the dive and buy one. Right now to get the tag and trust approved is just under a year. The one I am considering is found on this link. Any thoughts?

    It's something I have little practical knowledge of...I've used them, and it is kind of fun to shoot without ear protection, but it's just never been a high priority for me......Ben

    Do you have some contracts you are waiting to execute?
    “Leave the gun, take the cannoli.” Unfortunately, the suppressor would be easily traceable if you are licensed.

    Yes I need to fill out the ATF forms, get fingerprinted and I am preparing the trust documents myself. Once those are done I will have my dealer order the unit and wait almost a year for the ATF to clear me and issue the stamp. I am only doing this hedging my bets that if our friends on the other aisle take over all this kind of stuff will be toast..............

    Yes well I have already been round and round with Ben on this before but I believe they already know everything I have anyway. Plus I would never think about possessing one of these units without complete legal authority.

    Well reasoned, but I can’t find a reason for one at all.

    Well like most post around here these days and there's no interest in the subject matter of what I posted about and about the only thing that goes on is a couple of three people that constantly Feud with each each other in the politics section a section that I refuse to contribute to any more because it's utterly ridiculous so I guess there's where I am

    You asked for thoughts on buying a “silencer,” and I gave mine. You did not like them. That’s OK.

    I need some more info. Does use of a silencer leave any trace on the bullet fired? I just don't know.

    My old department had a few silencers for SWAT use. They were relatively quiet, but not as quiet as I thought they would be. They were on semi-auto handguns, but I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it.

    I don't think it leaves any evidence of itself on the projectile...The ones you used may not have been cleaned properly...The more they are used, the noisier they become......Ben

    Tom, I have been thinking of getting one, too. It's not real high on my list of priorities, so "thinking about it" is as far as I've gotten. From what I've read, it shouldn't take as long as you indicate.

    The murderer in Virginia Beach reportedly used one, and people in the building still heard and recognized him shooting and coming their way.

    They don't "silence" the sound of the shot, they just suppress it. They can make a big difference it how loud it is though. The use if the term "silencer" is a misnomer. I once fired a full-auto Uzi with a suppressor. The sound of the bolt opening and closing was louder than the sound of the shot.
