Powder..patch..ball...Shhhhhhhhh!
I use subsonic ammo in my 22. Sounds like a pellet gun going off and the heavier slug will still stop a bunny or squirrel.
To: Joe Brower
Don’t know much about them, but what I do know I will share. There are at least two type, the first uses a metal mesh like a copper pot scrubber to suppress the sound. DO NOT get this type. The ATF has recently decided that you must submit another $200 and waith another 4 months for approval to replace the worn out mesh. The second type is made more like the muffler of a car with baffles and such. Get this type and it will last you years.

Did you pick one yet? Did you get a new barrel for the rifle, that will stabilize the heavy subsonics?

I have suppressors for all of my weapons (except shotguns), my most recent one is for my new .416Barret. It took almost 3 months for the Form 4 to be approved. NFA really sucks, adding $200 and a waiting period to these pieces. We ought to be able to buy them the way they do in Europe, over the counter.

Some of my customers in Germany were commenting that "silencers" are expected equipment on rifles used at the range. It is inconsiderate to without one there. Ditto that commitment to lower DB's in the aviation arena in Europe, which some may or may not consider a bureaucratic negative.
All production aircraft and it may apply to homebuilts, have to meet a DB requirement.
Many US aircraft shipped to certain countries are retrofitted with "Swiss Mufflers" ( Google it).
They question begs, will the ATF etc change their stance via research on hearing loss, tinitus etc within the shooting sports arena?

That's weird. It took me almost a year to get the Form 4 from BATFE approved and get the transfer into my trust and only about 6 weeks to get my barrel threaded for my Beretta M92FS. I got the SWR Trident-9 because it was designed to be used on an SMG and so tends to work really well on my pistol. I also just got my Kel-Tec Sub-2000 9mm folding carbine threaded for the same "can" and I have them both in a lockable briefcase along with the suppressor and several hi-cap mags. Very very 0-0-7.

Wow! I love that last sentence of yours. Every time I screw that thing on my CZ, I hear that Bond music start playing, and I start looking for a tuxedo. I forget who did my barrel — some big firm out in Montana? Wyoming? You’ve probably heard of ‘em. Yeah, they said they were backed up with military orders. Took a while, but it’s worth it. Part of it is that old “I’ve got something nobody else has” thing.

Haven't been home to go to the range for 2 1/2 years. The last new rifle I purchased hasn't been to the range or fired yet. Obviously, no point in buying more when there is no time to shoot what I have :-(

Adrenaline does funny things to you when you are scared shitless.....
I am beginning to think I should be more worried about my heart blowing up. Man, I hope I never have to face down an intruder like that. I do go to the range whenever I get the chance though.

Shot a suppressed standard .45 ACP Uzi a few rounds. Loudest thing was the slapping of the bolt.
