I don't know how long. It is the AAC 45 Tirant . As far as the supersonic crack goes, there was none when shooting supersonic 9mm suppressed at 8 yards into the berm. At distances over 10 yards you could hear it.
Its not an issue if he is using a light like he should.
Yes, I have a light
Speaking of lights, you cannot get too many lumens in a currently available hand held or weapon light. I consider 500 a minimum, but you can get away with less depending on spill and space. Claims of "too bright" or "reflections blinding me" are a result of improper use. Mainly from people concentrating their focus on the hot spot instead of where the spill and reflections illuminate the surroundings. The only time the hot spot should be where you are focusing is when it coincides with your target. The rest of the time the light is used obliquely; for lack of a better term, taking advantage of its spill and reflected light for observation.
Time for a teaching moment here. UMB starts.
I'm not going to get neck deep into it on an open forum, not only because of TTP concerns, but because describing techniques without ftf instruction is problematic at best.
What I will say is that if you are working in the dark and have a valid target that you have verified as such with a light, you will be shooting at them with the light on. To do otherwise is wrong because you lose the ability to see your target and what is beyond/ between you and them.
That light is going to drown out any effect from a muzzle flash. Bottom line is, light stays on from PID till you stop shooting. Either the target goes down or out of view.

You see where this is going... but, I am thinking about a suppressor for HD purposes.
My apologies if this has been brought up before.
I searched for previous threads and didn't see one. I probably missed or didn't search enough. If there is an ongoing thread about this, i'd be happy to move the question there.
So, Is it a good idea or not?
I am wondering about the risks associated with this.
Have there been cases where the victim suffers a legal penalty (I'm stating it vaguely on purpose) for having used a suppressed HD gun?
I get that the can would be confiscated along with the gun which would suck.
Is it possible to tell if a bullet was fired suppressed?
is there anything else you can think of to add to this conversation?
