Moderators are common in the UK. They can get an add-on to their firearms certificate for a moderator. With all the background requirements and training FC owners have to go through, they can be trusted with a moderator on the gun.
A gun shop I visited had a drawer full of them next to cleaning rods.
The moderators keep the noise down and keep the police from investigating every gun shot.
The estate's .243 I used was moderated too. The moderators really suppress the noise and recoil. My 6x scope never left target when I fired. I could see where the bullet hit in the scope at 120 yards.
Before Kate Middleton was married, there were photos of her learning to shoot a rifle with Prince Charles and William watching. The headlines where all about her learning to shoot. None of the news services noticed the huge moderator on the .308 she was using.
