Are silencers legal. I need to control some vermin but I do not want to create noise.

    No, there is a gap between the cylinder and the barrel allowing gases(noise) to escape.

    Exception to the rule is the Russian Nagant revolver.

    It does help, but it is (in my experience) noiser than a semi-auto, even with it's action cycling.
    Fanatic collector of the 10mm auto.
