So I have an M&P 40 - should I suppress it or drop in a 40 to 9 conversion barrel from storm lake. How quiet are the two in comparison.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Suppressors Would you suppress a 9 or a 40?

Get a .45 Silencerco Osprey and use it for .45, .40 and 9mm. There is a video on Silencerco's website where they show the different suppressors on .45/.40/9mm.

If you are just trying to decide between the 9 and 40, go with the 9mm. Easier to find over the counter sub sonic rounds.

Re: Would you suppress a 9 or a 40?
Ironically, i've been watching the whole subsonic pistol caliber availiablilty thing for a while.
Mind you, I travel, ALOT
I havent seen any sort of generic 147gr FMJ 9mm ammo anywhere. (i'm talking big time gunshops and ammo outlets)
I've never seen a marketed subsonic 40cal round either
(aside from bullshit self defense hydroshocks)(which i'm not paying $1.50 a shot just so it can be marginally quieter)

9mm will be quieter suppressed at supersonic. In ss, no .45 can is going to suppress the 9mm as well as a proper bore 9mm can, not even close.
Subsonic, either 9mm or 40 will suppress well...
Ammo for all here:

get a 40 osprey and supress them both. </div></div>

this way you can shoot the .40 and the 9mm through the .40 osprey. the videos on their site and on youtube say it all!

A couple of seconds of internet research uncovered the below site, that list the muzzle velocities of several popular pistol rounds.
I'm sure you already know, but just in case: the speed of sound is 1125fps at sea level.

Re: Would you suppress a 9 or a 40?
I went through this thought process myself and decided on a .22 suppressor. I'm glad I did, I can put it on a lot of different guns and I shoot it a lot more since its so cheap. CCI subsonics through a can are badass quiet. If you already have one though, and will reload your own subsonics, physics dictate you shoot the biggest bullet you can if you're limited by velocity.

Alabama Ammo sells 147gr Special K subsonic 9mm. Stuff is incredibly quiet through my Sig 226 and Osprey can [img:center]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLQM_3Sp-oc[/img]

Alderleet,
Have to agree with you on the 147. I guess it has been so long since I've searched for it. (still have a stock pile) Its out there but not as readily available as before.

Cool thing about 40S&W and 45ACP is that all the cheap-assed ball ammo is subsonic. I.E. Walmart ball 180gr 40S&W is subsonic.
On 9mm, the cheap ammo is supersonic. You gotta pay extra to get the subsonic stuff.
Cheaper to shoot a 40S&W subsonic than a 9mm. But 9mm's are generally quieter than anything 40 or 45.
