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. === That must have been an exciting WTF moment. Can we ask how it happened? That sori of thing certainly highlights the wisdom of always pointing in a safe direction, and treating it like it is loaded (since sometimes it is). --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

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. |

The pic shows a relatively short suppressor mounted on a Walther 9mm pistol, not the model I have, but similar in size. |

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 Was Greg's question too difficult to answer? |

![]() 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. |

That sori of thing certainly highlights the wisdom of always pointing in a safe direction, and treating it like it is loaded (since sometimes it is). 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. |
