I like it, but of course, it would be illegal here.:
Utilize special ammo.

The revolver is intended for engaging the enemy manpower at ranges up to 50 m with а silenced cartridge.

Compared to a silenced pistol, this revolver provides higher concealement of special operations due to the complete lack of firing signature.

A hammer-type trigger mechanism is of double action. The preliminary cocked hammer can be set on manual safety, that allows carrying a cocked revolver quite safely.

The revolver is also provided with a safety that prevents from a discharge if the cylinder is swung-out or incompletely closed, or if the gun is struck or dropped.

Due to the barrel location below the cylinder axis, the position of the firer’s hand is more stable, ensuring better accuracy and higher practical rate of fire.

Loading with a 5-round clip and simultaneous extraction of all fired cases reduces preparation of fire.

At the customer’s request the revolver can be equipped with a built-in laser target pointer.
 
Lots of luck "silencing" a revolver..unless the cylinder and forcing cone / barrel are all one piece..it ain't gonna happen very well.
 
actually suppressed revolvers aren't that bad to shoot. it does need a tight gap, but beyond that I'd say they are quieter than most semi auto pistols.

If you are going to make a comment like this you need to back it up with some actual experience.

Personally I haven't shot a suppressed conventional revolver but I have quite a bit of experience with suppressed semi-auto's and I seriously doubt that a suppressed revolver would be anywhere near as quiet as a suppressed semi-auto.

You ever hear of a Nagant revolver? Cause they suppress very well.

In this case, it's not the revolver itself that is "silent" ... but rather the ammunition itself.

Correct. There is nothing special about that gun that would make it prohibted.

The cartridges themselves would be considered prohibited devices in Canada would they not?

That would be the million dollar question. Our law states that a device or contrivance designed to muffle the report of a firearm is a prohibited device. It makes no reference to the ammunition used in that firearm. There are millions of rounds of subsonic ammo sold in this country annually and what is the point of subsonic ammo if not to reduce the report of a firearm?

In the US each round of captive piston ammunition is considered to be an individual silencer and thus is subject to a $200 tax. But CDN law is not US law.

Well I am by no means an expert but the captive piston itself could be the "device or contrivance" as it is not found in standard ammunition. Just one of many grey areas in our silly laws. The BS and mystique surrounding suppressors is really lame. They are inanimate objects and they won't make anyone into a criminal through possession, just a happier and more comfortable shooter if anything.
 
As a Nagant cylinder rotates, it also moves forward and puts the front mouth of the cartridge case into the back of the barrel. As it fires, the bullet travels forward, expanding the brass creating a "Gas Seal" and therefore no propellent gasses or noise escape from the usual cylinder gap. The Russians figured the got all kinds of extra speed out of the bullet this way, I think they got a couple hundred FPS maybe if they were lucky. These revolvers can be effectively silenced as the bullet is already subsonic. The gun can also be fired using .32 S & W long but you have no gas seal.

Ergo ;), no need to do the CFC's work for them...:p
 
The knight revolver was a Ruger Gp100 not a Dan Wesson. Suppressed or 'silenced" firearms are something I find incredibly interesting. It is unfortunate we are unable to experiment with them ourselves.
 
while I might not have the experience you have with suppressed weapons Suputin, I have shot a suppressed revolver, S&W .38spcl, that was back in about 93 in Washington state. Compared to the other suppressed pistols at the shoot, it was at least as quiet, and quieter than some. During the night shoot there was very little flash visible through the cylinder gap. It was explained that the pistol was only good for a certain number of rounds before the barrel/cylinder gap would have to be remachined, but since it's intended purpose wasn't for high volume shooting it wasn't deemed to be an issue. There were a few much more silent firearms there, mostly .22s if my memory is correct.
