How small can we go with suppressors?

I don't know for sure, but I'm trying to push the limits. While I haven't metered it yet, my ears weren't bothered at all using 50 gr. FMJ with water and wipe in 2 baffle configuration:


It's a little louder with white lithium, but I think still mid 130s. The shortest & lightest configuration with 1 baffle, just 1.8" long and weighing barely over 1/2 ounce:



I'm not sure we can get effective suppression even wet & wiped much smaller than this 0.82" diameter thing (calling it the Tiny Tim), but I'm happy with the results of this one!

Nice! Is that a PSA barrel?

I’ve been trying to work the bugs out of mine. I get split cases with the PSA threaded barrel but not with the factory original barrel.

As soon as I get the bugs worked out of this I will be ordering a suppressor from you. I need something with a little more stopping power than my Beretta Minx.

Thanks, Dan

No. Factory Bauer barrel. I counterbored & threaded 3/8-40 for the adapter, which I made from 17-4 PH stainless.
