Raw data from the Ebay moderator taken with a hand held SPL meter from 2 feet away from the muzzle as I dry fired the pistol. Average of 3 shots. Distance is very important with any sound measurement. Remember it's -6dB for every doubling of the distance. So 4ft is 115.9-6=109.9dB.
As is from Veradium: 115.9dbl
With Ebay moderator: 104.5db
Not whisper quiet but definitely take the bark out of the pistol and changes the tone. Instead of a loud pop it now sounds like a loud "spit". Light enough it doesn't change the feel of shooting it like a pistol (besides the awkward length). Threads and end cap seems well machined and threaded on without any issue. Would probably prefer a shorter fatter moderator for pistol configuration use but for $38 and no adapter required it works well.
