Chip. That is awesome..
Have you test fired it yet? How much does it cut the sound down?
I have been looking into silencers. Now I want one.

I saw a demo of Thompson Machine suppressors at a recent shoot in Tallahassee. Very impressive. Made to be easy to take apart and clean.

That looks very cool! I wish I lived in a state that allowed awesome things like that.

It cuts the sound down to about that of a pneumatic staple gun. My 9mm trident on a G-19 sounds like a roofing nail gun

looks nice, very nice. Is there a reason you wanted to mount it permanently?

Washington State does not allow Short Barrel Rifles.

Funny thing is that silencers are legal to own but ( I don't care. I really don't. ) are not legal to use.

makes sense. I didn't think of SBR not being allowed. Bama's the same way(SBR not allowed) (unless the legislature has changed it in the last year)
