A fancy has taken me to look into getting a suppressor for my XD-9.

From what I gather, it's a $200 tax stamp, a registration with the BATFE, an additional threaded barrel, and the cost of the suppressor... all in all about $500-$600. Is that correct?

Can anyone recommend a company that makes threaded barrels for the XD-9?

I currently have the 4" service model, would I be happier with the 3" subcompact? The 5" target model? What size gun lends itself best to a suppressor for balance and fun?

And how do I go about learning about suppressors so that I can make an informed purchase on one that will last a long time and is serviceable (as it wears out, parts can be replaced)?

Does the suppressor's diameter impede the use of the sights? Will I need alternate sights such as a laser pointing device?

Thanks, guys.
