Silencers

Check out this guy...

He built the silencer on my Walther P22. I went by his shop a couple of weeks back to drop off my Form 4 for my SBR, and he let me shoot one of his newest design 9mm silencers. I was BLOWN AWAY at how quiet it is. I never thought a 9mm could be as quiet as a supressed 22LR, but he has done it. Looks just like the one on his home page, might even be the same one I fired, but it was on a Taurus 9mm (Beretta copy) with Winchester white box. The loads we were firing were factory subsonic. He's new to the silencer industry, but he's about to go to a silencer shoot off in Ga. soon, and he WILL make a name for himself with this new baffle design.

Keep in mind that these will weigh more more than aluminum (or titanium) cans. I tried both, and preferred the aluminum variety.

Yeah, that extra 3 OUNCES is going to break the wrist, but it makes a disposable can into one that will last a long long time.

Well, keep in mind that 3 ounces in a .22LR can may actually be doubling its weight. Aluminum 22LR suppressors are also not "disposable".

I've got a steel can and have shot plenty of aluminum ones. Unless you've got a serious case of the limp wrists going on, it should be a non-issue.

They most certainly are disposable if they are sealed and they fill up. Please demonstrate a method to remove the lead, carbon and wax combo without tearing one apart.

Even better? A take-apart aluminum one or a SEALED titanium one. Ti stands up to H202/acetic acid cleaning or ultrasonic cleaning without issue, aluminum must be cleaned by hand (hence take-apart).

A starter take-apart aluminum silencer goes for ~$225. Good way to get into them.

Can an under-21 buy a suppressor legally? I have sensitive ears.

 

[PTK]

Private party, within state, yes. Also, if you build your own on a F1 it's legal as well.

From a dealer, you MUST be 21.


This is the "cheap", "disposable" TAC-63 (TAC-65 is current model) silencer on my Buckmark pistol... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPj-WjXusiw

They most certainly are disposable if they are sealed and they fill up.

So, if they come apart for cleaning, does that make them non-disposable?

Other than being full auto rated, what do those extra ounces gain for you on a .22 can?

PTK that is the decible I am looking for!
