Silencer Equipped. 380 Automatics were used on many cosa nostra hits, particularly the Bersa Thunder model, which were cheap, easily accessible & came with a threaded barrel for a suppressor.
Some of the hits where silencer equipped.380 automatics were used in off the top of my head are
Bobby Boriello was executed with a silencer equipped .380
Liborio Milito was executed with a silencer equipped .380
Tommy Bilotti was shot dead with a silencer equipped .380
Vladimir Reznikov was hit with a silencer equipped. 380
Nicky Guido was killed with one too
Otto Heidel
Anthony DiLapi
Vincent Bickleman
George Byrum
Vinnie Artuso possibly had a silencer equipped. 380 auto too when he tried to shoot Paul in the head but it jammed on him, leaving the back up shooter with the unsilenced .32 auto to finish him
Jimmy Bishop was killed with one
Robert DiBernardo as well
Nicky Mormondo
Francesco Oliveri
Sonny Morrissey/also shot 4 times with a .38 revolver by Tommy Carew, before Richie Toupe finished him with the silenced .380 automatic
Thanks. 32-caliber and .38-caliber handguns were used in the Castellano and Bilotti killings, but no weapons were recovered from the scene.
