Re: Silencer on a revolver?
With the extra weight of the suppressor on the slide, it could affect how the gun cycles.Any mission, any conditions, any foe at any range.
Twice the mayhem, triple the force.
Ten times the action, total hardcore.

Re: Silencer on a revolver?
Correct and that is referred to as a browning action and due to the weight on the end of the barrel by putting a silencer on the end the gun generally will not be able to unlock post discharge. This is a very common problem as a large number of pistols run on this action type (1911's, Glock, Sig just to name a few).
The other option is the barrel which doesn't move at all (Beretta, some HK's) with which you would not have the issue of the added weight, the blow back would still cycle the slide.
The browning action issue has been over come with the Nielson devices (L.C.D.) or (L.I.D.) which are are generally needed unless the can is ultra light (think titanium) for the browning action. The Nielson device is just a piston in a sleeve and when the pressure enters the silencer it pushes back and gives added for to "Unlock" the gun from breach position enough such to let it cycle. Also most as if it is removing the wight of silencer though it doesn't.
I'm sure that if they had anything like that back in the vietnam era it was in it's infancy of design and not robust enough to trust by the soliders.
Hope that helps for anyone who may not understand exactly the function issue associated with Browning actions
Cheers,
Josh

You can only have a silencer on a revolver if you're an actor in a bad 70's cop show.

Re: Silencer on a revolver?
The S&W mod-39 was issued as a silenced model in the late 60's-early 70's. I know this to be true because I handled/fired one. It was quiet, functioned well but was just a tad front heavy...well maybe 2 tads.

Re: Silencer on a revolver?
Revolvers have another property that can be useful for clandestine uses. They do not throw brass.
It would be nice if there were modern revolvers with a cam system to close the cylinder gap for firing. It might be possible to get more muzzle velocity too.
The cam system would have to be somewhat springy though. As the revolver heats up, the gap gets smaller.

Re: Silencer on a revolver?
Resurrecting this thread as I was going to ask a similar question and...searched first!
Anyway, I guess it's not possible unless you have a very special revolver...not a run-of-the-mill snub nose .38 that I have been seeing the bad guys screw a silencer onto on episodes of "Hawaii Five-O".
I got the box set of the first 5 seasons and have been checking them out. Brings back good memories of growing up and watching this show.
Most of the stories still hold up pretty well...if you look past the old technology from the 1970s
There's even an episode with...Christopher Walken!
BTW, you can hear McGarret mis-use the word clip for magazine...LOL!
