Don't bother. Adding weight to a short-recoil pistol will screw up the cycling of the gun.
While having to wear earplugs cause it is so loud?
Shucks Ive been pull over ( other stupid reason ) I had my AR in the trunk coming back from the range, I had nothing to hide, He wanted to see ( I had nothing to hide ) saw it, told him its a mock. I un threaded it, Showed up and bam, that was that.
My doors never got kicked down because pictures of a fake suppressor on any of my guns.
Here's a question...what if someone (wealthy...so sadly not me
) had the ability(s) to have an upper (NR part) made/designed to fit on your standard (restricted) AR type lower that was made from the ground up with a barrel where as a result of it's unique design, the sound ends up being suppressed anyway with no add on's?
This would not be a modification as again, the entire upper (not just barrel) would be designed from the ground up and the upper is not a controlled part. I'm not looking for legal advice, just people's thoughts on how this hypothetical situation would play out?

You misunderstand my point. I meant that people were saying the can was illegal without noticing that it was still really loud and so NOT a can and thus not illegal.

RCMP have decided that anything which reduces sound by more than 4 dB will be classed as a Prohib Device regardless of what it may have been designed to do.
It doesn't. In my design work I have tested a number of different sleeve configurations etc and as long as they don't have a serious constriction at the front, the sleeve does not produce significant sound reduction. I am careful to make sure my stuff doesn't exceed the deemed limit. Can't say that of others.
Interesting. Considering that nothing in law denotes any specific reduction in the level of sound suppression, then on what basis have the RCMP come up with a 4 db number? Is this something they've put into writing as a matter of "policy" because to the best of my knowledge it is not in any kind of legislated "regulations".
On another note, if something wasn't designed to reduce the level of sound but clearly does, how is that in contravention of actual written law?
I know you're not a lawyer but you do have a great deal of working knowledge in the field. Care to comment?
You are correct. There is nothing in the law that specifies a dB limit. ATF uses 3 dB as a limit so the RCMP have apparently adopted an unofficial limit in the same range. Like the dewat rules this is someone making stuff up.
The problem is they kinda have to do something to prevent someone making silencers and calling them flash hiders to circumvent the law. It is the result of a badly written law.
