GOB's given you a very good answer.
I might add that you often see, in the movies, the feller screwing the silencer onto a revolver.
Revolvers, having a cylinder gap between cylinder and barrel, blow a certain amount of gas (and noise) out that gap. Silencer isn't going to be the least bit effective on a revolver, for that reason.
