This is always one of those issues I can't believe people care about enough to get upset. I use silencer.

Kinda a great point about how some folks in the gun community tends to resist eye-rollingly unrealistic PC rules of language usage, but then will try to enforce their own similar rules.

Can't we all just agree that they're awesome? That one poster on here, Fireman or something similar, has an Inox Beretta Bobcat and an Inox Beretta 92 with matching silver silencers. So sweet.
