In SD to have a suppressor, you have to buy a tax stamp, that is what we call it. Its about $200. Then the one tax stamp allows you to buy one suppressor that you have to declare the caliber. So if you want a .22 you pay the stamp then but the suppressor. If you want another caliber you do the process again. Didn't say it made any sense but that is how SD does it...so you will pay 1K for a suppressor...give or take. OH yea and this process can take as little as 8 months and as long as 2 years. Up to the SD DCI's discretion. This is after you pass the ATF stuff. I know one guy who has one, took him 13 months and he said about 1100 bucks......

So if you bought a suppressor that could handle multiple caliber so, you couldn't swap it from gun to gun legally?

I have never thought of that. I don't know a lot about this because I have never gone to far in the process. Its my understanding that each Suppressor is a different deal so yes, you could swap...but would have to ask somebody. You register the suppressor not the gun its attached to so don't know why it would matter.
