Just like handloads for self defense, show me legal precedence and I will change my tune.

I believe that in the past here on TFL threads have been made on legal precedence of hand loads for SD. If I recall correctly Mas Ayoob (a member here) has authored on the topic before offline and perhaps even online.
It is my belief that unless, hypothetically. a silencer was made completely legal on a federal level without restriction and without a stamp needed, it would be unwise to use one for SD purposes. What we all have to understand is that you may be found completely innocent criminally in a SD shooting only to face a lengthy (and expensive) civil suit. Remembering that the burden of proof is much less in a civil suit. Attorney fees, the cost of expert witness testimony, loss of work related income and the stress of a civil suit can bring a person down both financially and emotionally and this is assuming that you win.
