Now (or in 90 days) I can pop off rounds from the chicken coop with out bothering the layers or stampeding the horses out of the pasture..
coyotes have been traipsing thru the end of the pasture unmolested...
Wonder how they effect accuracy?
Could 'own' a silencer for a $200 -TAX- and a back ground check prior to this but was not allowed to use it.

Keep us posted on this.
I've never seen one in use but I have looked at the videos on youtube and it looks like a nice way to shoot without excessive noise.
I also know a few raccoons that would love to hear less noise as they receive a fast-flying message from me about staying away from my chickens.

I heard you need sub-sonic ammo for them to actually be "silenced". Is there any truth to that?Yes. You can buy it online or make it. For 9mm I think you need to shoot 147 gr or heavier to still cycle. There are studies showing that for subsonic rounds penetration gives the best terminal performance as opposed to shock from a fast bullet. It is recommended to use the longest, heaviest bullet you can...because you basically have a speed limit. Think small car vs big truck at same speed. So does anyone know if you can get bullets heavier than 300 gr in .338? Or is this a lathe project?

The only potential hurdle I see is Gregoire.

Would the WDFW have any intention of allowing it's use for hunting?
I can’t find any hunting regulation that would disallow the use of a suppressor.

Is it true that silencers are only good for a few shots and then they're worthless? Something about all the gases they absorbNot true at all.You should get thousands and thousands of rounds from a sealed can and a take apart would be almost unlimited.For ammo I use CCI standard velocity for .22 and anything in 45 is subsonic.

Do you just run down to the local sheriffs office and pay them to do the background check. How do you go about getting one. Buy it and have it sent to your gun dealer or what. Who does the $200 go to. Im already looking at Gemtech's for my P22 and 10/22 and .17hm2.
Go to the gun store and tell them you want a suppressor, I am sure they will be able to walk you through it.

I'm hoping everything goes smooth.

Now (or in 90 days) I can pop off rounds from the chicken coop with out bothering the layers or stampeding the horses out of the pasture..
