"silencer" on Taurus R17

gregc · 09-27-2005, 12:10 PM

A friend just recieved a few Taurus revolvers with an extension that looks like an old time detctive movie silencer.

Any thoughts?

Might it be some sort of compensator?

The barrel/cylinder gap would preclude most revolvers (weird Nagants, etc., excepted) from being very effective with suppressors (which is why those detective novels featuring silenced revolvers always crack me up).

this is no comp. I think it is a portion of the bbl to be chucked into something in the manufacturing process, I'll try to post pics
