No wait on Suppresso’s?

Are you desperate for attention? Are you going to add the paint chip comment in all your posts? Don't worry I'll just ignore you. Hard to feel bad when you go asking for it.
I wish you had ignored me a long time ago. Next time do it without a message for attention.

Ill probably make the bit about online stalkers asking me if i eat paint chips my signature, since the same 3 guys follow me thread to thread doing that.
 
I don't have one. Never going to get one. I do understand the benefits of them. Been shooting a long time. I do not have any rifles I would cut or thread. I can't start over with rifles to do it with. Too much invested with what I have that works. mtmuley
Same. Plus, I'm in a no-no state so it's not even an option.
 
I only know of one person that has used a suppressor and decided they weren’t for them. Everyone else I know usually says “I wish I had done this years ago”. Then promptly orders another one for their other rifles
I guess you can add me to the list as another who doesn't like them. Had a rifle threaded for one and disliked it so much that rather than putting a thread protector on I recut and crowned the barrel and had the rifle refinished.

I'm glad most of you like them but you won't find them on my rifles until they are 2" long and actually make a rifle quiet.
 
@mtmuley just wait until we get you shooting with a red dot on that Glock… You’ll be a cool kid then for sure.

I don’t currently own a suppressor, but I use one for work and I want one or two of my own. I don’t really see myself carrying one elk hunting, but I’ve been wrong before. I would love a suppressed Ruger 22/45, if we ever get completely deregulated in Montana that would be my first purchase.

I don't know about a red dot. Whole new learning curve. mtmuley
 
Next year maybe. Not enough time this year. Bears here. So I am told. 😉

This was in town in Red Lodge last night. Another griz charged someone in Bearcreek this afternoon, and there’s been a super aggressive sow with cubs causing all sorts of problems just south of Red Lodge. Stay strapped, it’s a bad year for them around here…

You obviously missed the Creedmore threads @mtmuley! Get a new 16” barrel Creed, put on a Timney trigger, suppressor and shoot big bulls at 1,000 yards!
 
@mtmuley hows it feel to be in an exclusive club with @Wyoming270
Not exclusive, the majority of firearm owners, hunters, and shooters do not use supressors. your in a slim minority.


Serious question for you guys:

What is your reason for thinking you need a suppressor? Do you not like loud noises? Are you worried neighbors will complain? Does it bother you your shots can be heard while hunting?

Aside from those three not mattering here in wyoming mountains, every time im hunting i hear a lot of loud thunder. At 8,000 to 10,000 feet the thunder is quite loud. Listening to that for a couple hours each day, one or two shots from a rifle with a proper long barrel seems like a pretty minor inconvienance.

I have 2 suppressors .....one for hunting rifles and one for my 9mm PCC. The one for the PCC (which is my "around home" gun) With 147 subs it is INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE.
In that video you can hear that about the only sound from it is the sound of the action working. If that gun gets used in the house the need for suppression is obvious. The one for my rifles serves to not only quiet them down, it also reduces recoil without the abusiveness of brakes. It allows for keeping sight picture better, follow up shots on animals if necessary or shooting of multiple animals from a herd by folks and doesn't disturb and cause the "freak out" among animals. Both of mine are titanium and only weigh a few ounces and the new OTB cans only add about 2-3 inches to the end of the barrel. I shoot quite a bit and there are definite advantages.....the only real disadvantage is having to toe around the stamp. If you think it is a "slim minority" that are using/buying suppressors.....you need a little reality check. We sell A LOT and I bet our volume as compared to folks like Silencer Central is small change. It is HUGE business and growing exponentially. I have sold cans to quite a few folks that I know have 5+ cans a piece.

I get not wanting to change rifles for them or not feeling like you need/want them but denying they ARE useful, help prevent hearing loss and help with various shooting/accuracy fundamentals is just fuddism.

Recoil reduction without the extremely loud noise of a muzzle break.

The constant ringing in my left ear that years of non suppressed shooting has caused, my kids enjoy shooting WAY more suppressed than unsuppressed, recoil reduction, more coyote calling stands closer together. If I only shot a couple times a year I probably wouldn’t see the benefits of a suppressor. But I shoot a ton and will not shoot another rifle that isn’t suppressed

The hilarious cluelessness from your posts makes me “follow” you - not ignore you.

Congratulations?
