I say "Ni!"So, there are a handful of shotgun silencers on the US market at the present. What say you? Good idea or waste of time?
LOL! Got to see that one on the big screen with my better half this past December. Still hilarious.
Did something happen to Reno? That thread is there but his name is not just a member #? He quit the group?Reno had oneand had a baffle strikeand it broke. Seems to me if it's of any significant length it's a big gamble with a shotgun. No experience with them just guessing. Seen lots of pellets with flat spots from the barrel wouldn't it wipe out a baffle instead of making a flat spot? I'd rather reduce recoil than sound personally.
Here's Reno's thread
Had my first heart stopping moment…
If you have had a can go down range, you know! Was putting some rounds through the Salvo and it decided to launch itself at the target. Recall that scene from A Christmas Story where Ralphie drops the lug nuts while helping his dad change the tire. Ffffffuuuuudddgggeee! Ya, that slow...www.northwestfirearms.com

Pretty big names. Unfortunate as I generally enjoyed their contentReno, USMC 1776 and Catherine 1 are no longer with us.
When you say "not super effective", what do you mean? No effect? Just takes the edge off? I just can't convince myself to take the plunge but I'd really like to fit one on my turkey gun.I have had a Salvo 12 for a few years now. It's fun on the Mossy shockwave with minishells, it's OK for turkey loads, but not super effective. It's unwieldy on an upland/waterfowl gun as it completely effs up your swing.
12ga to me really isn't that loud. I wouldn't go target shooting without ears, but hunting wise, it doesn't make them ring like a rifle or pistol. I can't imagine you can make a 1/2" hole very quiet though.When you say "not super effective", what do you mean? No effect? Just takes the edge off?
