Post #91752188 A rifle using standard velocity ammo with a suppressor tend to be louder than without the suppressor. I asked a retired military sniper why that is so and he said the suppressor reduces noise down range but blows the noise back at the shooter.
Yup and I stand by what I did say. There are a lot of you tube videos out there that back up what I have said.

Umm, so you're saying the adage to keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire is a new theory? That's not a new theory but having to worry about how one holster's an auto is pretty new at least to a 1911 shooter. I've never had to worry about my 1911 firing accidentally as I put a cocked and locked 1911 into it's holster. I don't think the Glock has a grip safety either but I could be wrong. I must be extremely lucky them. Ive holstered/unholstered Glocks for almost 15 years and never has the gun gone off when reholstering...the gun isn't unsafe I've seen more people shoot themselves and have Nd's with 1911's than anything else

Blue, I just watched both of those videos.
You can distinctly tell the difference between a suppressed rifle and one unsuppressed, just as most of is already know. DERBY needs to not watch so much Hollywood

Yes, the Glock trigger pull is standard at 5.5 pounds. However, unless you depress the toggle on the trigger, you can pull until the cows come home and it won't go off, the pull weight is insidnicifant, the fact that a Glock will not fire unless you pull the trigger is not Well I have to get going but I agree about Hollywood. Until I actually got near a suppressor I always thought all you got was a poof. I was surprised that hearing protection was still needed with a suppressor. That's the problem as I see it the toggle gets depressed more often than not with stuff getting into the trigger area. That's never going to happen with my 1911. Look I don't care if people own and shoot Glocks I'm just not going to do either because I think the design is flawed.

Yup I saw that and look at the DB levels. Still unsafe without hearing protection even if I'm wrong on it being louder to the shooter than it seems.

If I remember correctly, doesn't a Ruger .22 automatic pistol (Mark I, 22/45 etc.) have to have its trigger pulled before you remove the slide?

You're too stupid to know how stupid you are. Just call up you tube there tons of them out there. To me at least the guns did seem louder when super sonic ammo was used. I'm glad I'm too stupid to know how stupid I am because at 67 I still have plenty of hearing left. Nobody said you were stupid, I doubt there's more than one or two people that are even thinking it

DD, Not all of us that are 67 y/o are incapable of, or unwilling to learn.
I did learn more than 60 years ago to: open ears, shut mouth, pay attention to those who have knowledge and you can learn. It is never too late to improve yourself. Give a Glock 23 and AIWB carry some consideration.

Nope but I'm used to the operation of the 1911 a single action auto. I'm not use to the more modern double action autos that rely strictly on a double action heavy trigger pull for safety. I currently carry a Glock 19, but, to this day, one of my alltime favorite carry guns is still a 3 or 4 inch alloy frame 1911 (I'm particularly partial to Kimbers). Over the years, I've carried 5 & 6 shot snubnose revolvers, all appropriately sized Glock models, several S&W semi-autos, and numerous subcompact all the way up to full size 1911s. I've carried in my pocket, inside the waist, outside the waist (once it got more crowded inside), in fanny packs, belly bands, and in gun vests. Some had manual safeties, some didn't, but I never counted on a safety to prevent an accidental/negligent discharge. To do so is foolhardy, as any mechanical device can/will fail. The only foolproof method of avoiding an accidental discharge is to KEEP YOUR FINGER (or anything else) AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER.

I believe the average ear muffs reduce 32db. According to the video the numbers are similar with a suppressor.

Does this equation make sense to you guys;
Glock = Box-fed double-action revolver
