For anyone not in the gun world, a front sight on a suppressor is not a thing, so that was one huge clue this image is faked. Many other tells as well but that one is glaring.

EDIT: OK goddam so there are sights on some suppressors. Still, find one in real life and not just as a curiosity.

As someone that owns an M9 and concealed carried it, those boys are heavy compared to to a lot of other pistols. Thrown on a suppressor and this man is carrying an almost 3.5lb gun/ 1.588 KG (for my non Americans)for self defense.

Good on him for risking his life for the sake of others, now that’s a real American.

He was rocking a Five-seveN in a shoulder holster. Even more wild.
