Suppressors really don't work that well on revolvers anyway. Too much gas gets out between the cylinder and the barrel. A Dan Wesson with an adjustment there is better than most tho.

You just need a Nagant M1895 :)

They also throw off the balance with the long extension of the barrel. I don't use them, but friends that do say you almost have to start over from scratch in learning how to shoot 'em.

You can't silence a revolver (noise comes out between barrel and cylinder). You can silence an auto, or a closed-breach rifle but it would have to be a sub-sonic bullet. Go with a heavy, large caliber slow moving bullet in a rifle. Happy Bouffant hunting. Save the brains for me. I'm on a diet. []'s
