Can you recommend a good legal source for suppressors these days? I wouldn’t mind hanging one on my Kimber. Never fired a suppressed weapon at all.

I'm mostly familiar with .22LR suppressors, and just got a .380 as well (but haven't shot it yet). I understand that Major Malfunction is a pretty big distributor, so if you check out their Pistol section it'll give you at least some idea of what's on the market:

For a 1911, you'll have to get a sort of threaded barrel, but I'm pretty sure any suppressor company you buy from can explain how you go about attaching the suppressor properly.

Bear in mind that most calibers/loading won't be "movie quiet" in a handgun, though since .45 is already subsonic it'll be pretty quiet. On a rifle, with a really big suppressor, you can get 100% ear-safe though. I've seen some .44 Mag rifles with huge fat cans (imagine three cola cans stacked together) that were quieter than clapping:
