Title 2 Silencer are banned in CA. [PC 33410]

Only FFL/SOT and Gov/Mil/LE agencies can legally own/possess them in CA. [PC 33415]

The term "silencer" also includes any combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in assembling a silencer or fabricating a silencer and any part intended only for use in assembly or fabrication of a silencer.

Penal Code 33410
Any person, firm, or corporation who within this state possesses a silencer is guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 or by a fine not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment.

Penal Code 33415

(a) The sale to, purchase by, or possession of silencers by agencies listed in Section 830.1, or the military or naval forces of this state or of the United States, for use in the discharge of their official duties.
(b) The possession of silencers by regular, salaried, full-time peace officers who are employed by an agency listed in Section 830.1, or by the military or naval forces of this state or of the United States, when on duty and when the use of silencers is authorized by the agency and is within the course and scope of their duties.

If you want something that is quiet and legal in California, you should look into getting a moderator installed on a Benjamin Marauder. I have one installed on my .22 pistol. Precharged Pneumatic guns are not recognized as firearms and it is very quiet.

A silencer in Kaili is out. But, subsonic ammo is not. I shoot CCI quiets in
a bolt action rifle (22" barrel) and no louder than a air gun. Good to about
50yds or less. After that, fall like a rock. So, depending on what you are doing this could be an option.

Not legal here in California. As suggested, invest in a PCP airgun (although, they are still quite loud) or .22 quiets

Ear plugs or muffs = "silencer" means any device ... of any kind ... used ... in silencing, diminishing, or muffling the report of a firearm

Unfortunately you'd have to spend so much money on getting SOT/FFL that you'd want to abandon this idea in CA.

Ear plugs and muffs
do non of this, they block some of the sound from your ears but the sound of the firearm is not diminished. Don't know why I felt the need to respond to this...

Or maybe abandon Kalifornia.
