Suppressing a Para P12
I have never purchased NFA, so be patient while explain my situation. I have lots of questions.
The Para Ordnance P12 is a double stack officers model in .45ACP. Para has their own barrel design with an integral ramp (often designated as Clark/Para in catalogs that offer barrels). The officers model uses a different diameter barrel and different shaped bushing as compared to the Commander and Government models. This rules out buying a barrel from the longer models to thread. So, where do I get a barrel that will work? Will one of the suppressor makers be able to custom build one? Any idea of what kind of cost would I be looking at? Can you recommend a good suppressor maker who I can contact about this? How much should I expect to pay for a quality suppressor? I know that suppressors can be wet or dry types. Is there a big cost difference? What is the difference in dB drop between the two? Is there anything else I should know about that I didn't ask about? What kind of factory made ammo is subsonic in .45ACP? Any recommendations for ammo? Suppressors are also called ''cans'' as well? Thank you for any help. |

Here is a photo of my 45ACP silenced carbine--silencer work done by SRT Arms. While this suppressed gun is very quiet and it is a dry suppressor note the size of it compared to a pistol 45 ACP can. That is why 45ACP pistol cans are wet cans:

45 silencers
9mm guns silence so much better, 45 silencers for pistols are virtually all wet designs.
Get da 9 mike mike Advanced Armament Evolution 45 and SWR HEMS silencers or Knights Armament are the ones you should look at. |

After all is said and done with mods to this gun I am hoping for a 30 to 40 dB suppession of the actual ignition blast. I had expected that any standard 230 grain loading would be subsonic.
I am willing to pay for quality work. My primary caliber is .45 and would like to shoot with a noise suppressor when I shoot for extended range sessions. All NFA is legal in AR. |

Keep in mind that 45 cans aren't as quiet as you may think, unless it's very long. Big bore for gas to escape through.
