No wait on Suppresso’s?

[Point Creep]

@Wyoming270 Tell us you don’t shoot much without telling us you don’t shoot much.

I jumped on the suppressor bandwagon because I found out that I actually like to shoot more centerfire (plinking and busting rocks at a half mile and beyond) than I used to. I do shoot in my house/garage, especially when doing things like breaking in a barrel or chronographing a test load. I never, ever (I hate them all) go to any “range”, I’m already deaf from years of shooting, but hate messing with earplugs (lazy and careless). I like being able to pass a rifle to my wife or daughter and knowing they can hammer away without any bother of recoil or flinch. I like shooting and spotting my bullet impacts. I like being able to shoot at an animal, watch it drop, and the other animals around just continue to stand around.

On and on..

Only question is should I try tenet or airlock next?

I love my Airlock but I don’t have a ton of experience with others.

I’d like to try an airlock.

I have 22” barrel on a 6.5 Creedmore and a 26” barrel on a 28 Nosler . Run both suppressed

An Airlock Nano will probably be my next one.

@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.

It’s like you have a picture of the inside of my safe.

A red dot has helped A LOT with the bifocals and actually seeing the target and the sights. I don’t know if I can go back.

What herds are you shooting multiple animals from?

I really could not care less about suppressed pistol cartridges. I could not think of anything more worthless.

I do agree with you on 147 grain 9mm. 147 grain hardcast at 1049 fps rip through about anything. Only thing better is 255 grain hardcast at 1300 fps out of my 1911.

Year before last myself and another guy shot 2 cows, about 30 seconds and 200m apart, from the same herd/group of about 50 elk in Wyoming. The herd I shot the cow from last week, had there been another hunter there, stood around for plenty of time after the shot for another. Late season whitetail it is VERY common to get lots of deer in crop fields where multiple shooters or singles with multiple doe tags can take multiple deer. Just a few examples.

If you think suppressed pistol cartridges in an enclosed, close quarters environment are worthless you haven't done much training or get the application.

Those of you shooting and hunting with suppressors, do you still wear ear protection?

While practicing I do. When hunting I don’t

Don’t need it but do while practicing, not hunting

Training for what? Do you carry a supressor around on your pistol?
Why would i want to shoot a pistol indoors?

I wish it was possible to get multiple deer tags here. Ive drawn 1 in the last 6 years. It was in a wilderness area 2 hours away.

How many decibels is your rifle with the supressor you use? Osha recomendation for hearing protection is anything over 75 decibels. I have yet to find a supressor on the market that can come anywhere close to 100 decibels with either caliber i hunt with.
