Wanted to start a thread on buying a silencer ("silencer" being the ATF legal term for a suppressor). Seems like manufactures are popping up like crazy for something that the purchase process alone seems impossibly difficult. The paperwork and legal processes seem impossible to mortals - unless you know someone that is a federal law enforcement type or are friends with county sheriff.
Which one to buy for your rifle or pistol - how did you chose?
Filling out the paper work - including fingerprints and CLEO signatures - how did you navigate this? What did you learn along the way?
How long was the dreaded "wait" - what can be done to speed up the process?
Finally - now that you own one, how do you use it, have fun with it and maintain it? Where are you shooting that you could not before?
What's your next purchase?
