Sound Suppressor

Hi there! is the Smith and Wesson ever made a sound suppressor/silencer for his revolvers to eliminate or minimize the sound of the gun? If so, is that effective? Im just wondering. Thanks!

Check this one.

Suppressors are not particularly suited to revolvers because of the barrel/cylinder gap which allows un-suppressed escaping gasses.

hard to suppress a revolver unless it is a nagant revolver

Wilbert,
You don't want to put a silencer on either a revolver or pistol without the proper ATF permit. Like making a gun full auto without the stamp. you could spend the next 500 years in prison if caught.

ATF permits are irrelevant to Philippine law. If you are truly interested in supressing a firearm check you national and local laws.

BTW, the barrel/cylinder gap problem seems to be addressed by the design in the link. Does it work? If KSK uses it, I'm sure it does. Is it practical? good looking? Unequivocally NO!
