I haven't done the math in a while but I'm pretty sure the speed of sound is around 900 FPS. 1100 is still supersonic. It will still suppress the sound but not as well as a subsonic round.

Another vote for Winchester 231.

They are well made and the company does stand behind them. I bought two at once, the CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical and the Rami. I was going to get back into IPSC with the 75 and carry the Rami. The foray back into IPSC didn't work out because of logistics but the 2 or 3 matches I did shoot with it...

Most if not all 10mm loads are supersonic which will be louder than the 45 where most if not all are subsonic. Maybe you can do both with 1 can: As long as it's rated for the extra pressure you should be able to shoot 10mm out of a .45 can so the one suppressor can do both calibers.

I never owned a gen 1 but I traded my gen 2 with it's punishing recoil in for a gen 3 and it was significantly better. Then I traded my gen 3 for a gen 4 and cannot tell the difference.

Same here too but my friend timed me with an IPSC timer and said my overall time was consistently better with the G19 though I felt like both were the same.

Yay, another .40 bash thread! Watching what the FBI is doing reminds me of a really old commercial for Savrin coffee. The villagers would watch in terrified anticipation while one jackass, pulling another jackass on a leash, would sip their precious coffee. Once he smiled, they would...

No, I'm not saying it's a pocket pistol by any stretch. Yikes, a 10 round 9mm? Even hipsters with cargo pants would have trouble getting away with that (maybe THAT's why their pants are so low!). However, I would not have a problem carrying this in a jacket or coat pocket with or without a...

The problem is the street price of the regular Shield being so much lower than MSRP. It's going to be a lot tougher to find a Performance Center with a huge discount . . . but I'm watching for it! I love my Shield!

I bought two CPX 2s. It was supposed to have been one for my daughter but I wasn't going to let her have a gun that I didn't have, come on! I like everything about it except that insanely long trigger pull. I like even less the equally long reset. Otherwise, it's a great gun at twice the...

And I'll third the "don't do this for savings" sentiment. I find reloading to be relaxing and therapeutic. I like the feeling of accomplishment but sometimes it's like painting . . . lots of prep, work and cleanup but the feeling of seeing the room finished makes it all worthwhile. You...

Glocks are great. The Smith M&Ps are great. Lots of high praise out there for the HK VP9 or any HK for that matter. Springfield's XD series are pretty good and cheap too but it all comes down to your definition of BEST and what kind of money you want to spend. I bought a Sig P226 Enhanced...

Of course it's secondary to winning a gunfight but a 44 mag fired in a closed space (like a car or room) WILL cause substantial and permanent hearing loss.

I've read about streamlining and it's not a bad idea. So I tried to plan how I would do it. You have to picture someone standing there with a couple of those puffy text clouds above them for the next part: Of course 9mm is the mainstay - most "streamliners" are going ONLY to it for obvious...

The model 66.

I have the Forster Co-Ax and really like it. I'm in the same boat coming from many years of loading pistol rounds with a Dillon 550 and the Forster is my first single stage. I bought it for 308 and 5.56 but I like it enough that when I decided to get into a new pistol caliber (10mm) I just...

Love Powder Valley. They're one of the few that ship primers and powder together. They might even price match too. Last time I ordered from them, I found a few friends and we all split ONE hazmat fee. Good store.

This is mostly a guess . . . but where the steel presented a relatively simple, one ingredient, possibly brittle barrier . . . the glass presents several laminations specifically designed to yield and sacrifice themselves thereby absorbing a LOT of energy. How it's Made featured windshields...

I've been very happy with my .40 load. I use Rainier 165 truncated nose with 5.5 gr win 231. I use win 231 for all of my handgun loads. I recently tested some future carry ammo: Ranger 180 grain T-series. In one mag I alternated (and otherwise randomized) those handloads with the factory...

Don't forget the belt. Most feel it's even more important than the holster. You need a stiff belt that is made with ccw in mind. Just picking a thick one from a regular store probably won't be enough.
