A video done by another gent from this very forum using my replica Hush Puppy. S&W Mk 22 Mod 0 Hush Puppy - YouTube

Cracking only happened on the slides, where the locking area was milled into the slide. I believe we solved cracking issues by having the slide rehardened to factory specs after being milled on. A competent gunsmith can make a barrel extension easily enough. Congrats to you, but condolences on...

kwill, I was supposed to have an NFA dealer with a 9mm suppressor met me to try it out with my Hush Puppy replica; the guy did not show. Cést la vie, but a video will be forthcoming.

cougar, I might have a VERY special treat for folks here after tomorrow night.

John, Well, no need for all that now. The faux suppressor looks fine and does its assigned task quite well for now. I just hope the Hearing Protection Act will become law one day down the road.

Folks, While stumbling around the archives on ARF.com a few days ago, guess what I found? This is the original post I made back in November, 2012 to start my journey bringing the Hush Puppy back to life. Have a look... Posted: 11/5/2012 2:39:54 AM EDT "Folks, The retro sidearm thread got...

I had this one made, along with the holster and faux suppressor.

M10, Where in IL? Des Plaines here. I use Fiocchi Dynamics 158gr FMJ sub-sonics. Thread pitch for my barrel is 1/2-28, same as an AR barrel. One thing my gunsmith and I did was to have the slide rehardened after all the silver soldering was done. The slide lock was done with pre-hardened...

Folks, Attached are two images of my new drop-style hip holster for my Mark 22 Mod 0. While it may not be exact to what was issued, I actually think of this holster as an improvement, since it will attach to a pistol belt, yet hang lower. I am still working on the back end chamber plug, muzzle...

Folks, May I present my video documentary on the Mark 22 Mod 0... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdouC5v0jg4

After eight months, my Hush Puppy pistol is now HOME with me!!! The final portions of the documentary video will be done with LIVE FIRING on 30 January, with the video posted on youtube and linked back here on the 31st...

Folks Almost four years ago, I posted in a firearms forum it was possible to replicate an iconic pistol from the Vietnam war era. This pistol was used by the SEALS on their missions, to neutralize human, canine and waterfowl sentries outside of enemy villages. Officially, the US Navy called...

Folks, Checked in with my gunsmith again. While he had nothing to report basically with my pistol, he showed me what will be the first completed reproduction Hush Puppy's slide. Cerakoted coated in a stunning basic black, it is certain to please its owner in the Philadelphia area. Hopefully, he...

Folks, Bit of a different post tonight... Attached is a process flowchart to follow to create your own Smith & Wesson Mark 22 Mod 0 "Hush Puppy" replica...

Folks, Spoke with my gunsmith today. He had the front sight and the "ring" bushing installed on my slide. I directed him to remove the wording on the slide's left side after the words Smith & Wesson and before the serrations. Looking VERY cool to me. I asked him if this was the wildest...

Folks, Attached is an image for the real deal, an actual S&W Mark 22 Mod 0 "Hush Puppy" pistol, with the Mark 3 Mod 0 suppressor, hence forming the Mark 23 Mod 0 Swimmer Weapons System. Since I am trying to get as close as possible, with my standard 39-2 slide, I will have my gunsmith polish...

Folks, Just a quick update... Still no word from the ATF yet regarding the faux suppressor, so I will just proceed with the suppressor with the recess in front... The image below is of my slide on its return from being rehardened. Not pretty, but still a sight for sore eyes. Yes, glaciers...

Folks, I received my slide back from the gunsmith who had created the front sight for it over three years ago. Based on my previous entry, all I had him do was remove the "ring" bushing in the slide currently, mill off the original front sight ramp, then drill the two holes he uses to properly...

Folks, Just a quick, yet IMPORTANT update today... Went to see my gunsmith about another project, but he showed me my slide was now cut with the rear sight dovetail, ready to accept the rear sight wing. He has drilled and tapped a point within that dovetail for a small screw to secure the wing...

Folks, Here is an update with status: Still no movement on the ATF front with the faux Mark 3 Mod 0 suppressor. Most likely, since this is a faux suppressor, they put it on the back burner, but for how long, who knows. As such, I would like to ask an informal poll of interested folks to see...
