"The biggest pain in the ass for pistol silencer owners is figuring out how to accurately shoot with the damned can attached. Most silencers obscure the sight picture for standard height sights, and the only options available are extended 'silencer' sights (which look ridiculous) or a laser sight of some sort. That’s one of the reasons that my nightstand gun (a SIG SAUER Mk25 with AAC Ti-Rant 9mm can) has a set of Crimson Trace lasergrips, so I can actually figure out where I’m aiming.

| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
