I bought a .45 for my 45th birthday, made a quick trip to the range and shot 100 rounds out of the .45 and then about 40 rounds from my trusty Mossberg 500. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of recoil and muzzle blast from the .45. The gun was a Ruger P345 and was really fun to shoot. Unfortunately my ears are still ringing. This has now happened the last several trips to the range. In spite of both plugs and muffs I now have a couple of weeks of irritating ringing in my ears after shooting sessions. I'm really concerned that one of these times the ringing won't go away (and that this time might be it).
I wasn't always so careful, but after an Army hearing test that showed hearing loss I wised up - or so I thought.
The first couple of times I thought it was due to other folks with "loud" guns. This time I was the only one on the range, it was outdoors, I wasn't there long and I didn't shoot all that much.
I think it's time for me to stick to .22s and archery.
