Subsonic 9mm

if you want to maximize noise reduction you need to use subsonics. if you dont care go ahead shoot standard bullets.

Do it, use 147 grain HST if you're going to use it for HD

My experience is limited. However, my anecdotal account is that subsonic bullets have reduced the sound by even more than suppressors have.

In other words, depending on the type of round, a silencer does less for noise reduction than subsonic loads. I'm willing to assume it's not the case for all calibers and all silencers.

I've shot a lot of shit but I've never been around suppressors in person. It's hard to gauge the sound from videos alone. I've heard great things about CCI half load 22's and such but I have yet to even test out quiet 9mm loads. I'm about to google this myself but is there any new talk on the hearing protection act stuff?

I'd recommend checking subsonic rounds expected DB for your gun and then checking the reduction of sound from your desired silencer and then deciding if it's necessary/practical/fun enough. Of course those requirements are subjective to your judgement as I'm waiting on a silencer that only reduces like 15 decibels at ear that cost over a grand. However, hunting with earpro is a hassle I'm not willing to do.

This video is the only reason I contemplate my choice. Fucking video gives me conniptions.

They're for the most part incredibly underwhelming.

>thanks Hollywood.

However, a 9mm with a big enough can and subsonic loads should be pretty close to Hollywood quiet.

as far as HPA I dunno, I suppose It couldn't hurt to wait. If it passes I know I'm going to run out and get a lever action .22 and put a can on it and buy a bunch of subsonic ammo so I can hunt small game without scaring big game off.

The difference between 9mm subs and 115s out of a supressor is substantial. If you go to the trouble of buying and registering a can you will want to use subs.

>loss in power
Standard 147 grn 9mm is subsonic. Not quite as flat but not really a loss in power. A long enough barrel might make it go supersonic. That could an issue with an sbr so you would want to test that before stocking up.

>>33286747
147s are naturally subsonic and have just about as much energy

>>33286965
Sub sonic 9mm without supressor isnt bad. Like a .17hmr or .22mag depending on barrel length. But the noise reduction isnt enough to justify the velocity lost compared to normal rounds, or if you cant reload the bullets. The costs are really bad compared to normal rounds. You are better off investing money into a supressor alone than trying to use just subsonics.

subsonics on their own out of a unsuppressed handgun are not hearing safe.
shooting subs instead of supersonic eliminates the crack when the bullet breaks the soundbarrier.
the sonicboom on its own is pretty loud.

with a suppressor the difference between subsoinc and standard ammo is night and day but you have to hear it in person recordings dont capture it.

Yes, you should run subsonics in a suppressor to avoid the supersonic crack as the bullet breaks the sound barrier.

You'll still have first round pop and it will still not be Hollywood quiet, but it will be better than normal. Most 147 grain 9mm is subsonic anyway.

9mm subsonic makes shooting ACTUALLY quiet. Regular 115gr is alright out, but 147gr is VERY noticeable.

You lose no energy by using 147 grain subsonics instead of 124 grain supersonics. Depending on the load you may gain some, so it's a no brainer to use subsonic from a suppressed 9mm.

147 grain is also no more expensive than 124 grain when comparing non-shit ammo like Speer Blazer, Lawman or Winchester Super.

Shit's fun yo, so use the next 14 months to get hyped as fuck to be able to shoot it.

Did the same thing OP. Anyone have a recommendation for subsonic 9mm? I bought a case of lawman 147 gr subsonic, so far that's all I've used.

If your waiting for the HPA to pass or not, don't. For starters, it's written into the bill that your tax stamp will be refunded, assuming you bought it now. So one of two things could happen. A) the bill doesn't pass, and it's a good thing you got your paperwork started, or B) it does pass, and you go pick up your suppressor immediately while the masses eat up the small inventory available and wait for months for supply to catch back up.

Thank you anon. You're a sweet prince on a dark night.

how is subsonic 32acp?

I have a skorpion in my future, perhaps
