There was a suppressed Ruger revolver that was written up in one of the Gun Digest's Assault weapons books quite a few years ago. It made an appearance on X-Files. Had lots of mods and I have no memory for the details.

This is actually something that I just found out about yesterday.
Knight's Armament Company created a suppressed Ruger Super Redhawk revolving carbine intended for use by special forces. The gun fired tricked out .44 Magnum rounds that contained .30 caliber projectiles and some sort of piston-like device that would telescope out and seal the gap between the cylinder and forcing cone.
I believe they also developed a GP-100 based version. I don't believe there was any serious production of them, but there's not a whole lot of info out there on them.
