I have an AAC "Eco-9" on my one Glock 17. Im using a LWD threaded barrel with it. Total cost, including stamp was just under $800.

With subsonic 147 grain loads (and even with standard loads), I can shoot it in my car port without hearing protection. I cant hear for days if I shoot a .22 in the same place. Its quiet enough that my son, whose bedroom window is in the carport, thought I dropped something (I did

) when I shot a possum in the trash with it. Its about as loud as a heavy car door being shut.

As far as sights, I just use the standard three dot night sights on the gun. While the sights are behind the suppressor, if you shoot with both eyes open, and just use the dots, you shouldnt have any troubles.
