The gap between the chamber and the barrel prevents most revolvers from being silenced.

This design seals the cylinder between two shells to allow it to be suppressed when you attach a suppressor to the end of the muzzle.

    I have my doubts about practicality, but making a 44 mag a little quieter would be nice.

    Also, the Welrod. An actual “silenced” pistol:

      It was seemingly advertised as something you could buy to allow you to suppress subsonic revolvers (like 22lrs) if you had one threaded and owned a suppressor.

      Unfortunately for the people behind it the BATFE deemed it to be a silencer, thus subject to an additional $200 tax stamp on top of what a person would have paid for their suppressor.

      There’s also the problem of not being able to reload without removing it.

      That’s a nice cut away!
