First time shooting a handgun suppressed. Attached File It ran 100% reliably. Kinda hard to aim, the 36M obscured the sights. I was able to keep all shots center mass of a silhouette, but, shooting super sonics, it still wasn't hearing safe. It seems like a gimmick, shooting a handgun suppressed? First time shooting this 92FS, did really enjoy that. |

It’s kind of a fun novelty for handguns, more of a necessity on rifles, for me at least. My Ti-Rant is higher than the sights on my Glock (not using suppressor height), and I’ve found you can kind of refocus your eyes and ‘look through” the can. Similar dynamic as looking at one of those old Magic Eye pictures. Works for me at least, and I can shoot quite accurately using this method. |

| My threaded barrel purchased last month on sale at berettausa.com was $126. I think there was a sale on silencerco barrels around black Friday that was less, but it didn't include the locking block IIRC |
What is the right number of guns? JUST ONE MORE!!
