At one time I saw a fellow selling adaptors that could be fitted to the muzzle by sweating (soldering) them on. He ran ads for them in the back of gun mags. Haven’t seen them recently, so maybe the ATF got after him. Check out the movie SHOOTER with Mark Wahlberg and you will see him using one on the bad guys.

He was arrested, tried and convicted of using an unregistered suppressor.

BATFE’s reasoning for enforcement was that ANY item that will reduce the sound signature regardless of how little is a suppressor, and has to be approved through appropriate channels.

We need the free market to make impovements and lower cost. Then the military can piggy back off of those improvements.
