Excuse me for trying to hijack the thread, but . . . this thread is likely to attract the right people.
Any thoughts on the SilencerCo Maxim 9, their 9mm pistol with an integral suppressor under the barrel, so the length is normal? I like shooting with a silencer, and I’m considering the Maxim, either now or after they have a couple years to work out the kinks.
What would be your intended use? It really isn't all that much shorter than a pistol with a SilencerCo Osprey can, and you'll have to wait the 9-12 months for your tax stamp to clear before you can pick it up.
If you purchase a quality pistol with threaded barrel, you can have that right away while you wait for the stamp to clear for the can, and will end up paying less in the long run.
But if you have the money and the patience, I say go for it.
