Why Suppressors?

Huntertown?

What can is that???

Huntertown Guardian. Out of business now unfortunately.

Never got into cans. Don't like the idea of paying for permission to be "allowed" to own them.

Looks pretty slick same diameter as the upper

I installed an integral supressor. I can adjust how loud I want it. Quiet for in the house defense and crank it up for outside to let the freedom ring!

Have you shot a suppressed gun?

Honest question.

We touched on this in the other thread about PCC’s. Which one would you prefer to shoot in your house.




Two rifles, both suppressed. One is in a pistol caliber and is hearing safe, the other in 5.56 is much longer. With the short can, it’s still not hearing safe, and still shoots flames out. Without a can, the 10.3 5.56 is a flame thrower. A full sized can will tame it down, but then we are back to full size rifle.

I have not. I do want to dabble though...but needing the stamps just rubs me the wrong way. Then I need to buy subsonic rounds. I would probably put one on my CZ Scorpion for the most benefit. I suppose I just found a reason for a PCC!

You're a bad influence.

So let’s just clarify here….. I know people are very serious about hearing pro and firearms which I am ok with. BUT at the same time…. They hold firearms to a MUCH higher standard….

What I am saying is although the gun isn’t labeled “hearing safe” it is shootable without ears…

before you jump down my throat here me out… do you wear hearing protection when mowing the lawn? Maybe you do good for you… how about running the blender??? At every race track? Concerts? Chainsaws? Leaf blowers weed whackers air compressors vacuuming etc etc you get the point.

trust me I wear hearing protection. I hate ringing ears but there are calibers and combinations they say “aren’t hearing safe” that are actually easier on your ears by a long shot than the things I just listed.

There's nothing more satisfying than hearing the thump of a bullet hitting a coyote. You can't do that without a suppressor.

got to experience this a few weeks ago. you speak the truth.

Yes he is.

While I will not argue or debate with anyone the +'s or
-'s of suppressors, I can only relate my experience.
This is my "short range" home defense gun.
300blk, 8.5" barrel, with a Silencerco Omega suppressor, shooting Hornady 190gr Sub-X loaded to 1025 fps.
It is whisper quiet with the only "noise" is the bolt cycling.
The bottom is 4 shots at 25 yds.

Looks like a Huntertown Arms Guardian 22.

 

[jagee]

Yes he is.

I think I may have more than him at this point.. maybe right at the same number. I'm not sure.

Yes. Kinda...

HM Defense 300 Blackout Integrally Suppressed Upper

Full thanks to @jagee that ordered this and allowed me to do a review. I've seen a lot over the years - suppressed this, newly invented that. Thirty five years collecting guns, fifteen years in the resale market and there's new stuff, better designs, better materials, but not a lot of change...

Just shot my first suppressed gun now I can't wait to get one.

Well don't keep us in suspense! What gun/suppressor?

 

[I Invented the Internet]

The tipping point for me was the exposure of a single unsuppressed shot from a 9mm without hearing protection. Aside from my EDC, every single pew-pew I own is either suppressed or will be in due time.
