having a threaded barrel does anyone make a suppressor for it … i couldnt find any .357 mag silencers on google
because being able to custom gap the barrel would mitigate any pressure issues

ok...
1--you need a license to purchase/own silencer
2-- silencing a revolver is a pain; that's why they don't do it to many
3-- yes, a DW is a good candidate, but still a pain.

I'd use a pillow or a potato it's much easier and much cheaper.

You can buy any silencer sized for .357--the problem is most of them (all) have threads that are 1/2 x 28... except for the metric Sigs...
A 9mm silencer would be really close...
These are the small issues-- the biggest problem, even with the DW is the b/c gap. Even if you run it up to .001, you will get a lot of blast.
A true silenced revolver has an insert in the forcing cone made of teflon that seals the b/c gap to near zero and still allows the cylinder to turn.
Way too much work-- buy a semi auto and duct tape the slide closed...

I don't believe there are any modern suppressors manufactured to fit a .357 caliber on the market today. I wouldn't attempt to mount a suppressor on a gun caliber other than what it was specifically manufactured for. As shoot stated, there are too many "issues" in attempting to muffle a revolver. If you like shooting .22lr, try out a Ruger MKIII fitted with a Tactical Solutions upper and a Silencerco Sparrow suppressor. Other nice .22lr hosts include the Walther P22 and Sig Mosquito. If you like larger calibers, pm me and I can steer you in the right direction. Since you live in the "gun-friendly" state of FL as I do, all it takes is time and money for the $200 tax stamp, and you'll most likely need to set up a trust since most sheriffs wont sign off on off on the ATF Form 4.
