Who needs a centerfire pistol?

All you need is a Ruger MKII with a silencer.

I just watched a Sylvester Stallone/Antonio Banderas 1995 movie, The Assassins. They used MKII's with silencers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassins_(film)

First time I'd seen it. I was really impressed with the power a silencer adds to the .22lr.

I could see why I don't remember seeing this 10-year-old movie, if I ever saw it. My only interest was trying to figure out which Rugers they were using and what they were doing with them.

I watched some of the Clint Eastwood movie "Magnum Force" yesterday. One of the bad motorcycle cops screws a silencer onto a revolver before he takes out a mob boss. It works, too!

Amazes me how the little short silencers in movies work so well, anyway. Just a quick low pitch whistle.

A silencer on a Smith and Wesson would not work so well.... if it was a Nagant, then it would work great. Seeing as they have the whole gas seal thin going.

It worked in the Clint Eastwood movie. So it must be so.

And if you are Stallone, you can put a silencer on a Ruger MKII and make kill shots through corner walls (two layers of sheetrock) and through the bad guy.

All I know about real guns is what I see in the movies.
