It's Fretwell's Fault
Some time ago, B'rer Fretwell convinced me that my choice of a .357 MAG
revolver was the *wrong* firearm for the night table, because if I ever had to use it, even if I hit the intruder, everyone else would be rendered deaf, the rounds are so loud. I thought about this for a while, and tested Fretwell's theory at the indoor and outdoor ranges I frequent. Without muffs. As much as I hate to admit it, Fretwell was right this one time. :) So, I sold the revolver to a buddy for a good price and he also bought my Henry Big Boy .357 MAG rifle I just wasn't using. I used some of the proceeds to pick up a 9mm Walther PPQ M2 TAC, shown in the accompanying photo I swiped from a Walther site. With a suppressor fitted, it's not much louder than a .22LR that's been "suppressor-ized," and therefore usable inside without fear of rendering anyone deaf. It's the same suppressor I used on my 9mm CZ Scorpion Carbine. I'm going to fit a small "tactical" light to the rails on the underside of the lower. New pistol has a pretty nice trigger and appears to be accurate. I got the "Maryland" version, with three 10-round mags. Mine has the Vortex Venom red dot attached, looks pretty much like the red dot sight in Walther's photo. https://flic.kr/p/RieMq7 |

I thought about this for a while, and tested Fretwell's theory at the indoor and outdoor ranges I frequent. Without muffs. As much as I hate to admit it, Fretwell was right this one time. :) So, I sold the revolver to a buddy for a good price and he also bought my Henry Big Boy .357 MAG rifle I just wasn't using. I used some of the proceeds to pick up a 9mm Walther PPQ M2 TAC, shown in the accompanying photo I swiped from a Walther site. With a suppressor fitted, it's not much louder than a .22LR that's been "suppressor-ized," and therefore usable inside without fear of rendering anyone deaf. It's the same suppressor I used on my 9mm CZ Scorpion Carbine. I'm going to fit a small "tactical" light to the rails on the underside of the lower. New pistol has a pretty nice trigger and appears to be accurate. I got the "Maryland" version, with three 10-round mags. Mine has the Vortex Venom red dot attached, looks pretty much like the red dot sight in Walther's photo. https://flic.kr/p/RieMq7 Suppressors are unsuitable for self defense. Why is that? I understand that is not a CCW gun but in an appropriate case near the bed it is perfect. The extra weight on the end of the barrel holds down the flip for a follow up and the muzzle blast only affects the people you didn't shoot. Hey, Lil' Alex has 60 firearms sitting unused in a safe, so obviously he is *the* expert on such matters. Perhaps he thinks one throws the suppressor at the bad guy, instead of attaching it to the muzzle of a firearm. Here's a snap from the manufacturer's site on a 9mm pistol: https://flic.kr/p/PGgaET |

Dec - show quoted text - I suppose the question would be why. Those things are murder on your ears outside and every insult to your ears will hurt you later. Sometimes you just have to believe. ;-) I never fired a round of anything in my range in Md without muffs. I was in the house when we had an AD of a 12 gauge tho and it was impressive. ....... 40 years ago I lived in an old farm house and shot my 357 into a big block of wood at the bottom of an enclosed stairwell. All I heard was an enormously loud “BONK!!!” I thought the precession had blown both eardrums-thankfully not. But I’ve had a subtle hissing in both ears even to this day. |

My buddy picked up my 97 Winchester and racked it. He didn't understand it did not have a disconnector. It was pointed in a safe direction but I did have a pretty big drywall patch to do. It would have been worse if he didn't hit a stud. |

That is why I have to call bull**** when I see Dirty Harry shooting that 29 Smith in that concrete walk way at the stadium. He would be "Dirty Huh?" for the rest of his life. My buddy's 29 took pictures off the wall when we fired it in my basement, using plugs and muffs. It felt like getting smacked in the face with a wet towel. A 12 gauge was mild compared to that. |

There is no disconnector so if you have your finger on the trigger it goes off as soon as the bolt goes into battery. You can certainly get a lot of lead down range in a hurry tho. The guys in the Winchester demo teams were hitting targets faster than the guys using autoloaders. |

Really easy I prefer to stay on the legal side of firearms laws and regulations, although it is easy enough to make a suppressor from an oil filter. I am the not so proud owner of two suppressor stamps, one for a .22LR device and one for 9mm, and I think the latter device also works for .300 BLK. I don't think I'll buy another suppressor, though. |
