I clicked on a link at a blog post about a new Ruger handgun -- Review: Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Tactical -- and was surprised to see that it has threads on the barrel to accommodate a silencer. See it in the photo below.
Ruger didn't miss a beat. They'll sell you the silencer, too.
A hasty web search revealed that there aren't many new handguns with that feature other than the Ruger and Sig Sauer.
There was a meager effort by Republicans to get the law changed to eliminate the tax a gun owner would have to pay to own a silencer. But the bill's sponsor, Matt Salmon of Arizona, retired before the bill ever got out of the committees. And now that the Democrats have taken over the House we can say goodbye to the Hearing Protection Act of 2015 .
