The MAIN difference between a suppressor and a silencer IS Spelling.

alanint: You are correct in everything you say. Have you tried Aquila subsonic, 60gr, ammo? Carries quite a punch and as quiet as a mouse when used with "can" (AND that's the 3rd spelling used).

A suppressor/silencer/can IS OUR Right to own and use as long as we obey the law AND do NOT infringe on our neighbors rights, Unlike what the present "administration" does daily by circumventing the Constitution and Disobeying the rule of law.. Sorry about getting Political, but US is in trouble....

In TEXAS, we see things a little differently and Have the Right to Protect our life and property. We are also charged with responsibility of protecting anyone else's life and property If we see a crime being committed. It becomes much like the "Failure to stop and render aid" if one walks on by without assisting. Texas Law works for the betterment of ourselves and our fellow man.

Yes, I use the "SSS" quite regularly, although some integral .22 pistol makers, (like AAC and AWC) won't warrant it. I have personally never had an issue and it does pack quite a punch down range. I even like the funky sweet smell the powder gives off!
I'm also a proud Florida resident where the "Castle Doctrine" is King! No need to back down here...
