I’m curious, does anyone have experience with different suppressors on the P50? Are there specific brands that perform better?
My experience with the AAC suppressor has been stellar! Very efficient and fits nicely. It’s all about finding the right one that suits your shooting style!
Let’s be honest, the best part is the reactions of everyone when you shoot quietly! It feels like a scene straight out of a movie. Just don’t forget, you still have to clean it afterward!
As far as ownership goes, remember that suppressors are treated as NFA items in the U.S. So, you’ll need to file a Form 4 and pay a $200 tax. Always check your state laws too, as they can vary significantly.

That’s a good point! I also recommend considering local regulations. Some places may have additional restrictions on using suppressors.
Absolutely, and don’t forget about the background check when applying for your suppressor—it can take a bit of time! Plan ahead if you want it for the range.
Exactly! I applied for mine a year ago and just got it back. I thought the wait was never-ending! But it’s worth it to shoot in peace.
Speaking of peace, remember that while you won’t need a separate permit for taking the P50 with a suppressor to the range, the suppressor itself is still regulated. Always check before traveling.
Great tip, Sharon! I once had a friend nearly get into trouble because he didn’t check local laws in another state!
Just a heads up—it’s important to ensure that after getting your suppressor, you register it properly. Forgetting to transfer ownership can lead to issues down the line.

I didn’t realize that, Tasha! What’s the process like if ownership changes? Is it as simple as re-filing?

It’s pretty similar to the original purchase—will still require a Form 4 and another $200 tax. But as they say, ‘better safe than sorry’!
Also, can’t hurt to remind everyone to keep their paperwork handy when heading to the range. Might need it if the law enforcement stops you.
Funny you mention that! I keep mine in a folder that says “Not a pipe bomb” just for laughs!
