$120 is cheap my friend. Trust me lol

That’s why I said it was a good value. I know when it comes to optics of any kind, it’s not uncommon to spend (much)more on the sight/scope than the actual gun itself.

I bought a suppressor years ago and put on my 10/22 and was disappointed to say the least. My Gunsmith buddy laughed at me. Read the above article and it sounds interesting. Can anyone knowing about descibles, need autocorrect, or sound reduction jump in on this topic?? I know the TV suppressor sounds are a joke but, I've always been curious about this topic.

Question: is a red dot allowed when qualifying for the enhanced CC permit?

I don't see why they wouldn't be.

Just did some minor/moderate gunsmithing on my beloved Beretta 92A1. Ordered the G conversion kit from beretta. That converts the gun to decocker only, no manual safety.

I realize I’ve actually done a decent number of modifications to it:

Wood grips
Metal trigger
D-hammer spring
Skelontized hammer
Metallic guide rod
Decocker only
Weapon light

It was my first pistol and my absolute favorite to shoot.

You forgot the chain to turn it into the boat anchor.

Not sure what to weigh in on. It seems like an article going over the technical specs of this silencer.

remember that decibels are logarmathic. Where a change of 10 is either doubling or halving the volume. So a 140 db gun going to 130 is a big change, but it's still loud AF.

Me personally I will shoot a silenced gun outside without ear pro for maybe 5 shots. Anymore and I am back to doubled up ears. Inside I am also wearing ears. Pretty much no matter the caliber. I have seen some videos on 22s and some Russian guns that get pretty dang quiet where ear pro isnt claimed to be needed. But at some point the action of the shot, like the bolt slamming into something, cant be silenced and will be the loudest sound. Wont sound like a gun shot, but will 100% give your position away unlike a Bond movie. Or even Jihn Wick, one of the fee things they get wrong in those movies imo is what silencers are capable of.

Most silencers work to make it hearing safe, not "slienced". Also you probably should be ammo that isnt hypersonic if you want to run a "silenced" platform. The sonic boom is very hard to absorb.

Also, its not just peak decibels that determine how loud/quiet a suppressor is perceived. The duration of the sound impulse critical. I highly encourage anyone interested in silencers to check out pewscience.com for in depth analysis and listen to his podcast, it will help your understanding of everything related to suppressing small arms. He analyzes muzzle suppression, at-ear supression, and even analyzes backpressue and its effects on suppressing semi-auto firearms. Lots of good technical data and its all summarized on 0-100 scale for each suppressor tested.

Ordered a can for the SBR. SOCOM556RC2. Used Silencer Shop out of TX. So now the wait begins…

Good choice, did you check out the pewscience rankings?

Nice I'm waiting on approval for a ocl Polonium. Should be approved in the next month or so

 

[GroverCleveland]

Does anyone know the status of the suits against ATF on the SBR regs?

Went and got the S&W M&P 5.7

I've owned the FN and Ruger previously. To me, after handling the S&W (and having multiple M&P pistols), its the way to go with 5.7 IMO

I have the ruger 5.7… long story, but I haven’t been able to shoot it yet. Really looking forward to it

Both the FN and Ruger are good. However, I’m anti safety with pistols. Plus, ‘Merica

Haha I get it. I didn’t buy it, but the 5.7 round has always been intriguing to me. Can’t wait to send some rounds down range.

I have the FN P90 and the Keltec P50 as well. The more 5.7 guns, the better

Awesome! Even more fuel to my fire to hear that from you
