    Suppressors 9mm or 45 can?

    "45 can no doubt, quiter, harder lunch, ammo more available. " You can "quiter" and have a "harder lunch", but when you return, without her and well fed, the 9mm will be quieter every single time. "Results The average unsuppressed sound levels for the 9 mm pistol at military standard...

    Movie Theater Oz the Great and Powerful

    Blew...plain and simple....this film is a dog. On the noise level, spent a long dinner with two of the nation's most influential (successful) class action attorneys on unrelated interests. They brought this subject up, in theater related hearing loss as if it was already in the paper's...

    Electronic hearing protection is damaging your hearing (range report)

    Well, I'll be dipped. In one thread, from shear idiocy to sublime data. That first year student that everybody is shredding is of course exactly correct and wholly wrong, but that may very well be the result of Elites' honesty when he says "and to be honest it went way over my head." The...

    Suppressors Subsonic 308 Projectile Recommendations

    There is a great deal of sound information to be found in this thread. I would only make the following observations: 1. As Ranb suggests " The only thing that counts is the size of the group and the shape of the hole they make in a target at least 100 yards away" but with one additional...

    Suppressors How much wire pulling jelly to load in a can?

    Don't really know how to respond to that one without starting a food fight. I use this at around a full case. have close to 4,600 rounds through. Seen them 2x more that are good to go. Folks love to piss on AWC as they never defend themselves. Most shops couldn't cut the bore cross jet on...

    Suppressors How much wire pulling jelly to load in a can?

    CHOOTER, First off, it all depends on the can make and design. But generally its mostly for pistol caliber cans (handguns and MG), rarely for rifle caliber cans (hydraulic lock = bad). For a .22 best to use a lighter oil, sprayed in with a thin tip. . And....as far as the gels go, be advised...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns barrel ports??

    In most applications they ruin ballistics, ruin night vision, ruin accuracy, ruin all suppression, ruin your day with back-spit and sonic blast. But you do get a thinner wallet and the mostly suspect thought that you can return to target faster. Your instincts are right, when done properly, the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Saa .500 s&w

    If "too big" is what is driving your thinking, you have the wrong round. Nothing is more nauseating than a hour spent going at it with a S&W 500. Most folks I know that own one point to it in a manner that leaves one with the impression that they really, really like theirs....as long as they...

    Suppressors 9mm or 45 can?

    If you want the absolute quietest that can be had, go with the 9mm. There is nothing impressive about the suppression values of a 9mm through a .45 suppressor when compared with the same 9mm round through an excellent 9mm can. 9mm suppresses quieter than a .45 when both are subsonic and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns New S&W J Frame 642 Trigger/Action Job

    Map, I do not really know what your goals are as you do not state them. That revolver does one thing well and it requires little more than use to do THAT better. Unless you are simply not going to be able to relax until you spend enough $$$$ to feel comfortable that somebody else has told you...

    Suppressors Suppressed AR-15 made more tolerable for left hander

    Its true that once your AR15 recognizes you are left handed, it has trouble rerouting the blow back. You could try wiping the chip clean and reflashing with the latest firmware (LH-0ICURNUTZ) or simply learn to shoot while shouldering the rifle upside down, just be sure to keep the hot brass out...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Life after my Kimber full size 1911?

    Showing its age and mileage.....well, we sure wouldn't want a 10 year old sidearm to show any age and mileage. Save your $$$ for a move out of California.
