Revolvers?
Whenever we went on a sensitive mission they gave us suppressed High Standard pistols and they were not revolvers.

As I recall the rounds we used in VN were 60 grain instead of 40 grain and the powder was the same as a standard 40 grain load. The 60 grain round let the round be subsonic, but still have enough expanding gases to work the action properly.
