Interesting site while very bias towards AAC.
A blow back firearm is not a good suppressor host.
Take a look at this site and you will find most likely an answer to any of your questions: www.gem-tech.com/store/pc/viewContent.asp?idpage=7

I was at a gun store yesterday and looked at a Walther PK380. It is recoil operated, not blowback. This is a real plus if a person wants to attach a silencer. But I have not been able to locate a threaded barrel for it yet. If I can, I will probably get one some day.

Good to know.

And to the OP as much as I am NOT a AAC fanboy, they did put up a decent website soley for educating those who are interested in suppressors. Take the "courses" and it should answer most of your questions.
http://www.aaccanu.com/

And to the question about 125db being loud....no it is not. You have to understand that db's are logarithmic. So a unsuppressed gun is 30times louder than a suppressed firearm. Also remember that the higher end suppressor designers build suppressors that use high frequency tones as a higher tone will drop off over distance faster than a low frequency. There is A LOT of science that goes into designing them and without going into fluid dynamics, heat exhange, and expansion ill say that at the end you have a product that "masks" the firing of a gun to not sound like a gunshot and is hearing safe to boot.

lots of good information, but i have yet another question, when you guys say it is quiet, about how close to it would you have to be to hear it? obiously its got to make some noise, but if i where to shoot it , would the neighbors about 100 or so yards away here it from inside there house? i am sure they get tired of the noise my m38 mosin nagant makes

I found some references that indicate the decibel level of hammering nails into wood is in the 125-127 dB level. So while it's certainly not "Hollywood quiet" a can that gets you to 125 dB will usually mask that firearm signature. Whether it will keep the neighbors and local Law Enforcement off your back is another matter. Maybe if you set up some sawhorses and a "construction project" before taking the handgun into your back yard?

now, that i have an idea of what i want, how exactly do i go abour aquirring it, i know i need a dealer and some paper work, but who all do i have to go through, and how do i find a dealer, i live in indiana, about 50 miles south of indy, when i got a concealed carry permit i had to go through county law enforcement so i am guessing id hae to go through them again.

anything from start to finish is apreciated.

and i do like the construction idea

kingcheese - while the folks here are a great resources, a little Googling can go a long way towards answering your questions:

"How to buy a suppressor" turned up this:
www.silencerresearch.com/Silencerguide.pdf

And "Class III dealers in Indiana" gave me this:
http://ingunowners.com/forums/class_iii_nfa/61627-list_of_class_3_dealers_in_indiana.html

There is a whole world of info at your fingertips, young Jedi. You have but to use it.

I know and when I stated that in the Beretta Forum I was banned without even an explanation!
He was pulling his typical thing:
1. Donates to the forum and becomes the "body of the mod(s)/owner".
2. Creates multiple fictitious accounts.
3. Then with one account high quality pictures are posted with an AAC suppressor (oh sorry, AAC's are silencers).
The pictures are so good that the guy either is a pro photographer or should be one!
4. Then 3-4 "other member" sing the glory song on the AAC service and product quality and how much better the product is then xxx.
As proof tests from "silencertalk.com" are quoted.
5. If anyone states different, moderators "correct" these "false statements" to the point that that person is kicked out.

By the way, there is no such thing as a silencer, unless you count assassins!
A gun/shot are never 100% silent.
It's like the bullet proof vest!

Kingcheese, no neighbors 100 yds away will most likely no know that you are shooting a suppressed pistol when you fire. And as far as mounting it goes, you can buy a stock P226 with a threaded barrel already installed.

Look here, and here.

Untrue. The term suppressor is a relatively modern term for such devices. In fact, Hiram Maxim (considered to be the "father" of modern suppressors) trademarked his creation as the "Maxim Silencer".

 

[MDW GUNS]

"New" (quite a stretch of the word) maybe, but correct.
Not long ago people called a magazine a clip and lot of people still do.
Or as I already wrote, the famous "bullet proof vest".

 

[kingcheese]

ok, one more question and i think i got it covered, if i wanted to paint the supressor, would i have to make any changes to paper work?, im thinking maybe gold, or silver, or my favorite, od green

 

[MDW GUNS]

Make sure not to make the serial number unreadable and also that the paint is heat resistant.

 

[kingcheese]

ok, well thats all i needed guys, thanks for the information

Cerakote works very well on suppressors.
