I really like this pistol, the sound is suppressed, but the noise reduction bar is the same as the unsuppressed 5.7, and it alerts enemies the same as an unsuppressed pistol. I use my pistol a lot, and I like this one, but can't use it because of this.
I noticed it pretty soon after I bought the pack and started playing with it.
Recreating it, every time I use the weapon.

It is suppressed, don't look at those bars, they are lying. Tested alot, using this weapon almoust all the time.
I shot nearby enemies, and they got alerted like it wasn't suppressed. Enemies around me heard it. I did the same mission with a regular 5.7 with a suppressor, and it didn't alert them. That's what tipped me off, then I saw the bar. The red suppressor icon also flashes when you pull it out, like a suppressor isn't equipped.
I'd definitely use it, it's one of my favorite weapons now, but it always blows my cover.
