#1 Thanks, Chris, for the good balanced article on silencers. Like my late dad used to say, "it's not the answer to a maiden's prayer." It's a tool for appropriate applications.

#2 The argument for legalizing silencers for the civilian shooter is the health and safety benefit of reducing noise exposure.

I'm reminded of the Nyclad bullet and it's introduction to reduce lead pollution on indoor ranges. Homegrowns quickly moved to a Teflon coating in hopes of increased penetration.

I expect the single pulse/reaction mass issue will quickly be addressed once the $200 tax stamp registration requirement is removed.

#4 Granted, it's just symantecs but the correct term is "suppressor" not "silencer". This may sound trivial but the anti-gun factions continue to perpetuate the vision of Hollywood assassins as a way to limit the commercial sale of these tools.

You are right about the correct term being suppressor. I yam corrected.
