faqbsports, there a site sponsor up top. http://www.fabsports.ca/fake-suppressors-c-77.html?language=URL_LANGUAGE?osCsid=60a30cb9a7a1fe61571f24e5c8ce1373
Good luck with that one I can see two thing`s wrong with that... #1 most pistols need a custom made barrel to support a suppressor #2 It would be difficult to make it so that it has zero noise reduction. -1db in a suppressor in the eyes of the law is big fines and maybe jail time
Questar sells all manner of threaded barrels. Having an extended barrel threaded by a gunsmith is a simple and inexpensive task.
Furthermore there are several fake cans on the market already, Fabsports has them. They're nothing more than a bored-out piece of aluminum and no, it's not hard to make them "not suppressed."
The only difficulty would be finding a Nielsen device compatible with the fake can to make the pistol cycle.
I ment as in a wheel gun for the mods... Also it would be stupid to put a solid can on the end. It would be heavy and only thing it would do is look ### because its not real .... Also 99% of the cans I see on the market are rifle made and to long
Some pistols come with threaded ends HK and walther to name a few But that does not mean I want a big hunk of solid aluminum on the end and if its hollow aluminum it will take up some sound and then your in heat......
I know I been down this road all ready I had my m4 taken away and tested. My custom made suppressor is -0.4db the officer let it slide but if it gets any more then that I would have been looking at jail time for haveing a prohib

So much fail in one post. You deride fake suppressors for looking "###" yet you had one made for yourself?
You go on to say how risky it is because you had one custom made and it gave you problems. Maybe you should have bought one of the "###" fake suppressors that are actually made by real suppressor companies, tested and approved for sale in Canada, and avoided that situation altogether in the first place.
How exactly did the police officer "sound test" your fake silencer?
There is a very specific milspec protocol for testing silencers. Hardly anyone outside of the industry knows what it is, how to do it and the specialized equipment needed to do it properly. The sound meter required is not made anymore, is difficult to find and quite expensive (ca $3000 - $5000) when you can find one.
Also, sound reduction can depend greatly on a number of factors including, temperature, ammunition, wind, humidity etc. A single setup can vary by several dB from one day to the next.
Any sound test of a suspected silencer not following the mil-std and not using the correct equipment will produce incorrect results that typically make the silencer seem quieter than it really is.
Additionally sound reduction numbers are typically not quoted to less than 1 dB due to the analog equipment used. Your officer quoting -0.4 dB smacks of serious BS to me.
A fake silencer made by Gemtech would have been certified as being NOT a silencer by ATF and they are notoriously picky about such things.
Also CDN law requires the device be "designed or intended" to reduce muzzle blast. Meaning that a fake silencer does not fall into that category. Other devices such a bloop tubes certainly reduce muzzle blast but they are not designed nor intended to do that so they are not classed as silencers in Canada.
This is going to be by far the biggest problem with a fake silencer on a handgun. Unless the pistol has a fixed barrel, the extra weight will bugger up the cycling. 9mm pistols are especially sensitive to extra weight on the barrel. A 45 is less sensitive but would require the fake can be very light which will be difficult to do with a fake can.
It somewhat surprises me that these are allowed into Canada. Screw an airsoft silencer onto a .22 rifle and it will certainly act as a real silencer.
Sounds like opportunity for a Canadian suppressor manufacturer. Fake cans are getting more popular, as are prohib-length guns with extended threaded barrels, and I'll bet more than a few folks would love to have a fake can that reliably cycles their gun.
Indeed, especially since airsoft guns are legally firearms under the CCC. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth?
Most airsoft accessories are still cast pot metal though, not made to withstand any degree of pressure and might fail on the first shot from a live firearm. Maybe this is considered. They also usually have significantly different thread pitches which prohibits their use on most common firearms. I suppose you could always adapt it, but that's certainly not something I'd want to try (for both safety AND legality).
If you consider that a plastic pop bottle held on with tape will work on a .22 rimfire and I have even seen it work on a 9mm, then a pot metal casting would certainly be strong enough to last at least a while.
How difficult is it to thread a rifle barrel? Easy peasy! Not sure how that would be a safety issue but it would certainly be illegal. As I said, these things would be easy enough to fit to a real rifle which surprises me they are allowed into the country.
