What's the can model? Do you like it?

[-] DesertDwellingWeirdo@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Dead Air Wolfman, it's sized for subgun use so it's pretty big and heavy for a handgun, but I'm also too stubborn to remove the extension piece. In hindsight I might have gone with something rated for standard rifle rounds. I guess I can always get a flash can for that.

The company itself I wouldn't go with again. They shipped the silencer with some shitty political stuff.

You don't have any problems with it cycling? I've heard really big cans on tilt barrel handguns can cause problems with the weight of the can interfering with barrel movement.

[-] DesertDwellingWeirdo@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

There is a piston assembly that allows it to cycle without pulling the can along with it.

Not a lot of places where silencers are legal, right?

https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/suppressor-laws-by-state

Currently, 42 states allow the sale and private ownership of suppressors for personal purposes. The eight states in which it is illegal to purchase and use suppressors are California, Hawaii, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Delaware. It is also illegal to own a suppressor in the District of Columbia.

Not a lot of places where being homeless is legal

Coincidentally, a lot of places I'll never contribute to economically.

It's complicated.

In most of the US except for a handful of states, you can legally own a silencer, there's a couple extra hoops to jump through, but nothing too dramatic. Most law abiding gun owners in the US could probably get their hands on one legally if they cared enough to do so.

In other parts of the world, laws are kind of all over the place ranging from totally unregulated to totally illegal. I haven't done a deep dive on this myself, so this is all 2nd or 3rd+ hand hearsay so take it for what it's worth, but I'm told that some places regard them as almost a safety (hearing protection) or courtesy thing so you're not making too much racket with your guns.

Legal in most of of the US, you just need a tax stamp.

That's, uh, a flash can, boss. No baffles in it. Honest.

I only see the legs of a table. Where arm?

The arm is actually the friends we made along the way
