Is this the gun?
B&T Station Six-9 Suppressed Pistol

People are spazzing out about the Welrod, but I think it’s just a Beretta with a modified suppressor.
An expensive exotic. Quick reading, yesterday, led me to belive they only made 1400 of them. I’m going with something more mundane until they prove otherwise.
Does the video show the shooter opening and closing the bolt? That requires a 90 degree turn on this pistol, I believe. What I saw just looked likd he was clearing brass that didn’t eject.
Great pickup. I’ve heard media speculating on “something like a Wellrod” but am astounded a company makes/tries to sell such a thing — at over $2000 a pop.
Could there be a more foolish choice for a high profile public assassination? Relatively few of these $2,000 novelty pistols would exist; buying one requires a successful NFA transfer application and tax stamp; the rarity makes acquiring a stolen one implausible. By now, even BATFE should have traced every one of them ever made or sold, and interviewed the owners. (”Gee, it’s not here. My son must have taken it out rabbit hunting...”)
I’d think a professional killer would use the most common possible stolen 9mm, throw on an aftermarket threaded barrel and a stolen suppressor. Will be interesting to see how this turns out.
Radio (ABC) is reporting that the gin may have been purchased in the People’s Republic of Connecticut.
I don't think this guy can afford a $2,000 pistol. If it is, then it's likely registered to the shooter as is the suppressor.
It wouldn't be too difficult for the Feds to research the BATF files to find out who owns that type of firearm then find out how many of those owners have registered suppressors.
That narrows down the search tremendously.
As for the suppressor, I have no idea how a person could go about finding and buying one illegally since they are all registered with the government.
