You wait for them to wake up?





Dave

Heresy.



Clark

Don't be so hard on yourself.



Clark

I can't really see a lot of difference in what cal you use as long as you stay Subsonic

Thanks bea.



Travis

Do you actually have experience with these different calibers suppressed, or are you just guessing? Some of us aren't.

Not trying to speak for bea but I believe he has had multiple suppressors for some time so I take him at his word.



Travis

Put a few mags through this yesterday and it shoots TIGHT.

Lovin' it.

Now to stockpile and wait for the suppressor.





Travis

Hey Flave, are the sights higher on the threaded XD?

Yessir.

It's a plug -n-play.

That's what she said...




Dave

Thanks. Missed that on the first go around from the link.

I've got an old XD9 that has been one heckuva gun since the day I got it.

Flave, dug this thread up to see if you received your can yet. IF so, how are you liking that TI-rant?

I just finally got the last docs sent off correctly for the Hybrid I bought last July. What an f'in pita.

Glomming for info on centerfire pistols with cans now.

I read on a suppressor manufacture site the other day that 9mm did not do that well suppressed, which surprised me. My county sheriff told me when he signed for my .44 can that a vendor brought one (9mm) to his office and fired it into a box on his desk, and the secretary in the other room could not hear it?

I am now waiting for one for my Ruger Standard .22 LR semi-auto, but will be getting a chance to "try" a bunch of other calibers, so I hope to find out for myself soon how .45 ACP does, at any rate.

Mike

Compared to what? Context is important.

Compared to a .22 - duh

Compared to a .40 or .45 - I call BS based on my own experience and everything I've read and seen about the subject.

I have several times shot suppressed 9mm in the basement or attached garage without the wife hearing it.

Still nada!

Patience is a virtue.

A worthless and stupid virtue.




Dave

They didn't say compared to what, but it was in a discussion of centerfire handgun rounds. I didn't think much of it, either. For Dave, they also said .308 was hard to suppress successfully, but I think they were talking supersonic for both. With my suppressor, which is NOT the best, supersonic .44 mag is pretty loud. Subsonic, depending on the particular load, can be very quiet. I was talking to a retired police officer last week, who - with his son, who is still active LEO - about a suppressor they handled in their shop, where they sell suppressors, SBR's short shotguns, and machine guns, that they were both disappointed in, until they were told it was supposed to be a "wet" suppressor. After they added some transmission fluid or something similar to the front end of it, it shot considerably quieter.

Mike

I hear ya.

I wouldn't trust any suppressor manufacturer who said 9mm doesn't suppress well in that context; they simply don't know what they're talking about. I'd cease to believe or repeat anything they said at that point, their credibility is gone.

Not all suppressor manufacturers know what's what. I talked to a rep for one last year who said they won't make pistol suppressors because they "don't believe in the Nielsen device" (his words). Brilliant.

What, they don't like the TV reviews?
