I really prefer a Ruger .22 pistol for dispatching coons up in trees. Good times.

I just ordered a silencer/suppressor for 7.62 NATO from the silencer shop using my own trust. They were real easy to work with. Can't wait till that bad boy gets here and I'm really hoping I get my $200 back for the tax stamp.
Getting idiot politicians that cannot get even rudimentary firearm terms correct educated about hearing protection vs. some ninja sneaking about is almost hopeless.
Call them suppressors. Many in the general public think that
a “silencer” will jump off a table and kill them.
But, they don’t have a clue what a suppressor is.
Be sure and give us an update after you’ve got it in use.
BTW, You can easily and likely get free phone apps to measure decibles.
Time to repeal the full-auto prohibition(s) from the NFA.
Running a suppressed .22 for the local woodchucks would be nice.
The problem with that is going to be all the collectors that have spent $5,000-$25,000 a piece on pre-1986 firearms. They will vehemently oppose this.
I have a .22 suppressor coming this winter for backyard nocturnal varmint control. February hopefully.
The best of these I've fired was for an HK MP5 using subsonic 9mm ammunition. It was closest to the "phtt phtt" you hear in, say, "Dr. No" (which was not, as I thought, a Beretta but an FN 1910 - just looked that up). The worst was a homemade can for a .45 ACP that didn't help much at all. But the biggest surprise was last summer when I took a tactical carbine course that had to be moved inside due to inclement weather. One of the class had a suppressor for his AR good enough to void the need for ear protection and this was inside. I was very impressed. It's on the wish list but I really don't want the hassle of the ATF. Hope's up for the bill but I don't see it passing.
No, you are wrong. They are silencers. The inventor of the silencer, Hiram Percy Maxim, called it a silencer.
I know that the tacticool crowd loves a different terms.
But they also call soldiers and sailors “operators”. I smirk at that term, my mom was an operator long ago. Worked for Bell telephone.
Don’t let Roger Goodman know about this.

Oh, yeah. Baby Bro built one and I am totally jealoused out but he can’t have a suppressor where he is and I can, so I’m perfectly happy to babysit until Kali comes around, which will be when Hell is holding ice-skating contests.
Try a suppressed .22LR using subsonic ammo.
Which came first- the silencers, or the suppressive politicians? Apparently, one is doing a better job, than the other.
we varmint hunt with dogs and the little critters run up trees....takes me 2 minutes fumbling around with ear protection when it is real cold a lot longer. can you do a shotgun...so exciting if this goes through
Maybe some wont. Maybe some will buy even more at great prices.
I just hope this removes them from the NFA to the point that you can tinker in your home workshop...
