Beretta Nano, silenced!

Adco will add a threaded extension to a pistol barrel

How do they do that without damaging the crown?

[bkoenig]

They turn down and thread the outside, and make a custom extension that fits closely enough that it looks like factory.  It's pretty slick.

$155 I guess.  Still a good price.

How about when you need to maintain situational awareness, or don't have time to don hearing protection, as in a home defense scenario? I want suppressors on the firearms I will defend my family with because I don't want to damage my hearing or my family's hearing when I shoot an intruder. Also, softening the muzzle blast a bit and diminishing the flash is going to help me avoid the otherwise disorienting effects of shooting a firearm in an enclosed space.

This has actually been a concern of mine in my apartment.

I live in an old brick building that was cut in half and the other half moved a couple blocks away...

Anyhoo, most of my walls are either concrete or cinder block.

A 10ga or 12ga magnum shell discharge in the house would be outright painful for everyone involved, let alone the poor bastard that got hit by it.

Bkoenig understood what I was talking about. It's how I got my Five-seveN threaded.

Considering the following photo:

I'm wondering if they extend the rifling into the extension or leave it smooth bore?

[bkoenig]

It's left smooth, but it's a larger diameter than the bore so the bullet doesn't contact it.
