I wanted to know if there has been a study on which of the simple DIY silencers give the greatest sound reduction?  

Or has anyone done a test to determine which brand/model oil filters are more quiet than other brand/models?

I"m leaning towards an oil filter because I can just screw it on my pistol, and I like that it is short in length.

Just abandon the oil filter idea because the filter is not an end user replaceable item. While some filters are small they are far larger in diameter than any suppressor.

Not to be an ass, but do you expect to hit any target more than 7 yards away with an oil filter blocking your pistol sight picture?  On a scoped 22lr rifle they will perform okay, but on anything else they would just be junk.  I'm not aware of any metered sound results of oil filter silencers.  Since they are not user serviced, they are junk in my opinion.

Um, what?
You can just screw almost any silencer on your pistol, and they make short ones
