The weight at the end of the muzzle helps stabilize the pistol. When wearing the can my groups tighten up. Considerably. As for the noise reduction, decibels are a logarithmic scale, so a few knocked off the top end is a bigger deal than it sounds like. (Sounds like... see what I did there?
) It can take a pistol from "permanent hearing damage" territory down to "loud, but no lasting damage." I know mine (an Octant .45) can make it so that a .45ACP can be fired indoors without hearing protection and it won't cause a problem. No, it's not silent. Yes, it's quiet enough.Unwieldy? Sure, if you're talking concealment... that's why they're not really a thing for criminals. Doubling the length of a full size 1911 is hardly a great thing for somebody trying to remain inconspicuous. But in your own home there's a reason to do it.
