Has anybody ever went through the form 1 for making a suppressor?

I've seen where some companies are selling kits for solvent traps that screw on to the end of your barrel. With a few small modifications you can make it into a suppressor. Obviously, you need form 1 approved first. Would this be the same process of buying one outright or is it different because you are technically the manufacturer? Also, has anyone used one and could compare it to a standard commercial suppressor like silencerco?

I've always figured it wasn't worth it. Still gotta pay for a $200 stamp and cans start at only $200. Not sure if paying 50% of the final cost to experiment would be worth it. And its not like freezer plugs are designed with with that kind of pressure or frequencies in mind.

Now, if you deem it worthy. Go ahead full speed and post results.

I'm thinking that the life span will probably be shorter, and the POI shift will be more drastic with the "homemade" suppressor. Doesn't seem worth it to me. Suppressor companies do a lot of R&D to maximize the life span and minimize POI shift.
