Here is a nuts-and-bolts guide to making your own silencer for the Colt 1911 Government Model .45 and its clones. Includes construction details for all components, manufacturing tips that will save you time and effort, and plenty of clear illustrations. For academic study only.

4.0 out of 5 stars You need a lathe and a Tig welder to make this silencer., March 17, 2005

By	Colt .45 - See all my reviews

The author states this right up front. He has no control over what the editors put in the ad-blub. He says the same thing in the book on making a can for the Mini-14. He says to do your learning on a .22, and to read his .22 "can-book" FIRST. This man's designs work just as he says that they do. If you are not a machinist and a welder, of course you can't follow the instructions in this book. It would help to be an accomplished gunsmith, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the real "A Customer", September 10, 2008

By	SilencerGuru - See all my reviews

The review below from "A Customer" was written by an IMPERSONATOR. Under that name I have reviewed ONLY the titles Practical Firearm Suppressors and Military Grade Suppressors. I have not read this title and cannot comment on it. Judging by the way my good fake name was used to trash it however it must be pretty damn good.

1.0 out of 5 stars All crap all the time, January 2, 2004

By A Customer

Poorly written with difficult to follow instructions that involve poor techniques and designs.

Possession of items described as parts in this book and/or making items described within without first obtaining permission from the Federal and State governments are felony crimes punishable by $10,000+ fines and 10+ years in prison. You can ask the author he spent years in prison himself.

There are better books available if the study of this topic interests you.
