No such thing as a silencer....term was invented in Hollywood. Everyone calls them that now because of the movies though. Fun fact!!

Suppressors Vs Silencers
Keep saying that all you want... :nana:

The actual definition of either term is factually incorrect when referring to the devices' actual performance.

A suppressor doesn't actually suppress the sound of a firearm, nor does it actually silence a firearm.

So calling it a suppressor is equally incorrect.


suppress
Forcibly put an end to.
Prevent the development, action, or expression of (a feeling, impulse, idea, etc.).

Lol. You looked up suppress, not suppressor. Also, if you head to Merriam Webster instead of the google abreviated version, it applies.

And actually, the root of the word still applies as you are preventing an action....the sound coming out of your barrel. :nana:

I was looking at getting one for the Storm that would also work on a pistol. I might have to get another Storm...

You can get guns with barrels that are already threaded...

Wow. Really?
It's basically grammar nazis...on the internet... and you're surprised? :grin: :banghead:
The definitions of the word proves my point. You're not suppressing the sound, you're reducing it. Perhaps muffler is a more accurate term if someone wants to be a term-nazi.

Silencer, suppressor.... call it what ya want, no reason to bust balls. When the industry uses the terms interchangeably, I think it's probably fine. :ninja:

Many barrels can be threaded, just be careful of who you have do it, and make sure they know its for a suppressor (not a flash hider). If heard stories about off center threading causing baffle strikes.

Yeah...

If your getting your barrel threaded I'd get a flash hider that allows the supressor to be attached.. Vs attaching directly to the barrel.

You can put the same flash hider on multiple guns

I am getting in the business of selling. I call them silencers because that is what the guy who invented it called it. I have some aac and liberty inbound and a few gemtech in .22 in stock. I don't want to be the guy on the other side of the counter overcharging everyone and giving poor customer service. I want to stand with you as a group. Let's talk about what the best silencer is. Maybe we can do some group buys.
