Do snub nose revolvers do any good with a silencer?
If so, is there an adapter one can use that mounts over and clamps to the barrel to allow the silencer to be threaded on?
Or how do I get a SW .22 threaded?
I'd be shooting subsonic or CB caps out of the gun.
Thanks!

no. The gas/flame escape between the cylinder and forcing cone on a typical revolver would make for extremely poor suppression.

Re: Do snub nose revolvers do any good with a silencer?
This makes me wonder why anyone would use a revolver, unless it was for the flame-throwing fun. Holy crap that looks absurd. No wonder detective movies used to make such a big deal about powder residue. I can imagine having to scrape it off in chunks after a substantial range session.doubloon wrote:

People who prefer revolvers claim: simpler manual of arms, fewer moving parts, increased reliability, no slide cycling which can bite one's hand, less failure to feed/stovepiping, etc.a_canadian wrote:This makes me wonder why anyone would use a revolver, unless it was for the flame-throwing fun.

Personnally I prefer semis. But was forced to use .357s while a CorrOfr. Well built and maintained semis are extremely reliable. But previously this wasn't always so.

The day I live anywhere that requires micro-stamped anything I'll be using revolvers because f*k them and their micro-stamping.a_canadian wrote:This makes me wonder why anyone would use a revolver, ...doubloon wrote:http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/tt29 ... 8FLASH.jpg

Revolvers are sexy. Not the little snub nose ones, but the regular sized one.
I want a .45acp Moonclip revolver for fun.

It is even more fun to fire a .45 Bisley Colt with
an extra original Single Action Colt .45 ACP cylinder.
But, aside from the 'Tom Mix' nostalgia,
the ergonomics of the hog leg in a large paw
is the epitome of discomfort and non control.
On the other hand bless John Browning's heart, the natural fit
of a NM .45 Gov. 1911A1 is God's gift to shooters.
Those in the 'over-50-years rectangular hand web callous'
club know what I mean.

But seriously, the ergonomics on a 1911 are superb if that's all you've ever shot and have some cult like devotion to.
I'll stick to my ergonomically superior CZs, and will continue to convert 1911 devotees to the Czechnology dark side.

The nice thing about revolvers is they don't jam especially during hand to hand.a_canadian wrote:This makes me wonder why anyone would use a revolver, unless it was for the flame-throwing fun.

John Browning moving to Western Europe shows his great intellect. USA didn't offer him the commercial opportunities that the war-waging Euros did. Plus, he probably got tax advantages. If not, maybe he just preferred the culture. I've considered moving to Central/South America during retirement. I've also thought about northern Spain or Denmark.

Back to OP: A snubnose doesn't benefit much from suppression. It would increase backpressure and drive even MORE gas through the cylinder gap. So maybe 10-13dB suppression?
A low pressure, long barrel revolver would be better. But still have problems that make semis a FAR better choice.
