suppressors

[Mortblanc]

More and more shooters at my local club have been going through the year long wait for approval and then the tax expense and acquiring suppressors for their host of firearms ranging from .22lr on u to .300 Winchester magnum.

What I have seen is that the suppressors are much more quiet than any "downloaded" cartridge in any given caliber. One of my friends uses a suppressor on his Ruger .22lr pistol and that thing is dead silent with the exception of the bolt sapping back and forth with the action louder than the thump of the discharge.

Several other friends have acquired moderators to use on their 9mm pistol carbines and the results were almost the same as long as sub sonic ammunition is used.

My thoughts were that it would be nice to have a moderator on my .38/.357 rifle. That gun is my normal varmint control gun around the house and having the ability to use full power .38 Special rounds through the moderator without alerting the neighbors to its use would be a nice advantage.

The Judge lives just down the road and I always worry about waking him from his nap.
