Let's Talk Firearms Silencers

Author, Tom McHale


Silencers remain a mystery in more ways than one.

Are they legal? Can you buy one? Can anyone else use it? Do they really silence a gunshot?

Has Hollywood completely misrepresented yet another gun safety topic?

In this article, I want to focus on the fun part - using and shooting silencers, but first let's take a quick look at how to legally get one. After all, you can't shoot what you don't have.

Buying a Silencer

As of this writing, 39 states have some legal provision for private silencer ownership. Yeah, I know, it's none of the government's business. And that leads me to the next point. Check out the American Suppressor Association. They're a consortium of companies and individuals who are trying to fix ridiculous things like onerous regulation of mufflers for guns.

Shooting the Colt Cooper M2012 Rifle in .260Rem

Colt Cooper
At various times during their history Colt has produced rifles for the sporting market other then the various m-16 products.

Their newest venture Colt has teamed up with Cooper Firearms of Montana on a bolt action called the Colt/Cooper M2012  model.
