Just ran across this interesting Silencerco Video I
have not seen before.
Especially 45 Osprey Wet segment.

Re: Who Says A Pistol Cannot Be Suppressed
you mean revolver, right?
plenty of pistols suppressed, but not many revolvers.
pretty cool video.

I snagged a Nagant from Bryan @AIM from his last shipment. Should be a nice combo with those overrun TM micros

Now a picture thread:
Re: Who Says A Pistol Cannot Be Suppressed
I've always been curious about suppressing a 'normal' revolver. Everyone says the barrel cylinder gap will mess it up, but has anyone done it and gotten hard numbers on it? I'm just curious how much noise would escape. It would definitely depend on the revolver, too. A nice tight Freedom Arms has much less of a barrel gap than a mass produced Taurus or Rossi! If I ever get good enough on my lathe, I will be taking an older Ruger Single Six and closing up the barrel cylinder gap and threading the barrel just to see what it actually sounds like. As quiet as a sealed breech semi auto? Doubt it. Much quieter than an unsuppressed revolver? I'm sure! Might even be fun to do with an old M&P .38 Special...

I've tossed around the idea as well.

Re: Who Says A Pistol Cannot Be Suppressed
Knights Armament built a silenced revolver that had an enclosure around the cylinder to deaden the gases escaping from the cylinder gap. I don't have a pic on my laptop but it's a funky looking thing.Bradpierson26 wrote:what do you mean?delta9mda wrote:KAC did it very well already
