handgun suppressor

I have a couple..

A Glock 17 and a Savage .22 rifle.

The Glock is a waste. Its just not very much fun. Between the pistol, barrel, can, and permits it was about $1200. It never gets used.

NOW - the .22 rifle with cheapo scope on it? Its a BLAST. Its a savage with can built aound the barrel. It looks stock. An air rifle is louder. Its a ton of fun for backyard/woods plinking. Get some subsonic ammo and its whisper quiet and dead accurate! - it was about $450, plus fees..

The pistol idea may seem cool, but it might wear off pretty quick.

Just some thoughts - have fun with it!
 
The barrel needs to be longer than stock to be threaded. The best value in threaded barrels for a Glock is Lone wolf (about $100). Jarvis Sells them also for many different guns but they are WAY too proud of their product ($250)! Advanced armament makes threaded barrels that are tuned to operate with their suppressors.
 
well say i buy a glock 17.. what would be the next step to get it fitted for a suppressor. besides buying the suppressor itself.. what modifications will i have to make to the gun and if anyone knows.. how much would it cost to the particular modification.. would i have to buy a new long barrel that is threaded? or could a gunsmith get the stock glock barrel and thread it for me?

all you need is a boostered can (trident or Evo) and a threaded barrel. as silentarmy allready said LWD barrels are very good and inexpensive. The pic I posted earlier is my G17 w/ a LWD barrel.

why do you feel it's a waste and never use it? $1200 is cheap for a can, barrel, gun and stamp. My G17 + Trident is allmost as quiet as my P22 + can. I bought a USPSD just to supress (I love that gun) I personally hate shooting anything unsupressed now.

Though I do agree that 22rf is the most supression for your money
 
wipes were old supressor technology, they died in the 80's

modern supressors have baffles that do not contact the bullet and can actually improve accuracy.

Not entirely true. While wipes are indeed old technology, they actually work better than most modern baffles since they form a near-perfect seal through bullet contact. Knight's Armament makes some of the best cans in the world, and they still produce a couple models with wipes. If you don't mind the hassle of replacing the wipes every 30 rounds or so, they are among the quietest cans available. In fact they're coming out with a new HK .45 pistol can which combines baffles and wipes in a package small enough to holster, and is very quiet indeed.

Im aware of the new KAC can, It has one wipe at the end of the baffle stack.. Though it's more of a exception than rule in modern can design.

I was not aware of any other KAC production "wiped can" other than the one they had at the Silencer Shoot.
 
Though I haven't personally shot a supressed 50, people I know say it is not bad.

I have. In fact, I have shot the exact same 50BMG rifle with and without a suppressor (in this case a JET). Recoil with the suppressor was dramatically more than with the brake.
 
would a gunsmith here in town do that for me? how much does it cost to thread a barrel? What guns have adapters to them in 9mm or .45?

Probably not going to find a local gunsmith to help you with a CX4. The easiest way is to buy a threaded barrel for a pistol you want to suppress. The most common ones I can think of are Sig, Glock & H&K. Or Walther P22 is already threaded if you want a 22 can. They can be as cheap as around $100 for a Lone Wolf barrel for a Glock, my Sig's threaded barrel was a little over $200 for a Sig factory barrel. I have an AAC Evolution 9 suppressor, you can get different pistons so that it can be used with differently threaded 9mm pistol barrels. Here is a link to a vid of my Sig 266 & Evolution 9, the sound is roughly what you can expect, not Hollywood quiet as many have already said. After cleaning there is a little WD40 still left in the can which is contributing to the smoke you see.

A popular pistol on which to mount a suppressor, here in Idaho, is the Buckmark .22 LR pistol. I know several people who have them, including a good friend, and they really like them. They are very quiet. Others have suppressors on Ruger .22 pistols, but I've not shot them.

FWIW.

Apparently they still sell some wiped "hush puppy" style 9mm cans, someone on ST just got one from them. Reed Knight said he hoped to get a new run of them finished sometime soon.
 
Ahhh I forgot about the XM-9.

I remember seeing the pics recently on ST. It was on a slide locked beretta IIRC.
 
Yup, that's the one. I'd love to have one if they did a run with 1/2x28 threads instead of beretta bilock mounts.
 
I have made several silencers using ATF from 1's. Cost is about $20-$40 (+$200 tax) plus the cost of a lathe and other tools ($2000) that I use for other projects as well.

For my 9mm silencer, I made it as light as possible. Using an 8 pound recoil spring and 147 grain cast bullets loaded to 1050 fps makes it operate just fine without a booster.

Is there anything in the western market that comes close to this http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg154-e.htm ?

The gun in that link is a purpose built suppressed pistol with part of the Silencer can built into the slide. The removable portion is not the entire assembly.

The cans which fit over the exposed portion of the Ruger .22 auto pistol barrel also add less to overall length of the pistol.

BTW
Once saw some photos of a rare Colt Woodsman with factory silencer. It was a presentation model with lots of engraving and gold inlays. Beautiful pistol.

Also ran across an antique Winchester .22 pump rifle factory threaded for a silencer. Someone snapped it up while I was making up my mind. It was pretty well worn, the silencer was not included, probably long rusted out from corrosive .22 ammo of the era.
Like they said in the adverts, "Keep the foxes out of the henhouse without disturbing egg production".
