Anyone surpress their revolver?

SWBigBang · Jan 26, 2010

There are always reliability issues when surpressing a semi-auto along with additional noise when it cycles.

But one really doesn't seem many revolvers with a surpressor yet there shouldn't be reliability issues or extra noise from the slide.

Does anyone have one and if so who is the manufacturer and how quiet is it?

With the revolver you have the cyl gap.
The nagant can be silenced I do believe... and there was a custom 625 made for use with a silencer, however it had a shield built around the cyl.

I sincerely hope this was posted as a joke by someone who just turned off Hawaii Five-0, which did al it could to promote the suppressed revolver.

It and the show "Hunter" with Fred Dryer.

There was a suppressed H&R 929 .22 revolver that was used in at least 3 episodes as a prop.

You can't suppress revolvers easily unless you have an unlimited budget and German Engineering....that's why you use fake suppressors on them. DUH.
Besides why would one want to suppress their revolver????? I mean suppress your feelings, suppress your wife, suppress your emotions, suppress your desires, but you shouldn't suppress your revolver.

Lowe's has a sale on black pvc, let's get the economy moving.

Perhaps if you wrapped your weak hand around the B/C gap.... then use the black PVC to hit yourself on the head so you forget how bad your hand hurts, then call in the lawyers to sue S&W, then....

Just go Godfather Part 2 style and wrap it up in a towel before firing....just remember to drop it after you shoot since it will most likely be on fire. I always felt Bruno Kirby should have wet it first...

I remember an episode of Hawaii Five-O where the assassin put his AR-7 together, screwed on a scope and silencer and started blasting away. Darn thing sounded like a .30-06. No sense letting reality get in the way of a cheesy story.

I would love to have a silenced .22. We can’t even have a Gamo Wisper in this State (AG ruling), but machine guns are OK. Very strange…

Leave the gun......Take the cannoli

I just wear earmuffs when I shoot my revolver. Really suppresses the sound!

I suppose if you wanted to shoot someone so they wouldn't hear, you could ask them to please put on some muffs, too, and then shoot 'em...

There was a ruger redhawk silenced by Knights Armament I think if my memory serves me well... ah yes heres a picture of one... they had several variants done for a "special project"

The nagant and a few other Russian orphans are too occasionally.
