A maglite suppressor?

That is a “solvent trap.” You can buy an adapter and “make your own.” There is a kit you can buy for both oil filters and for Mag Lights.
Even though it is sold as a solvent kit and is assembled at home, it will get you in a lot of hot water with the ATF. Pretty much illegal without the tax stamp.

Fixed barrel makes suppressing a bit simpler.

P.A. Luty made it pretty clear years ago that suppressors are not complex devices. Interestingly enough, his web site (in the UK, no less) is still around. http://thehomegunsmith.com Worth reading.

So, destroying a perfectly good flashlight is better than duct taping an empty 2 liter soda bottle onto your 1911, like in the movies? So noted!

The amazing part of the story is how he got caught. Peeing on the police station?

I have to wonder if he had been stopped back in Georgia, would anyone have been weirded out? Only the homemade suppressor looks like an infraction that works outside of Commiefornia.

I’m more intrigued by that weird looking magazine, which at first glance I thought was like a quad-stack extended, and now I’m not sure WTF it’s trying to be.

Blowbacks don’t suppress all that well IMO. Too much noise comes out of the chamber end because there is little to no delay to allow pressures to subside.
He also had a suppressor for his AR, as can be seen in the photo in the lower left.
I once was caught peeing in the TVA fountains downtown by the TVA police. They told me not to do it anymore, but they also said they didn’t work on weekends, which I think was a way of telling me, “you can still pee in the fountains on the weekend.” I was unarmed, except for a pocket knife, but they didn’t ask. These CA officers are really a cut above.
