Adding a silencer, kinda mysterious?

And hope that the bad guys are obliging and give you enough time to put on your hearing protection before the show starts.

The average HD situation is not waking up to an armed assailant standing over you in bed. In point of fact, many, many people have had time to retrieve a weapon from another room and mount an effective defense. I'm not suggesting time isn't of the essence, but in reality, you would probably have more than enough time to put muffs on.

Me? If I ever do get finally pony up for a supressor, I'd have no qualms about using it for HD. That said, my HD handgun is a 10mm, and I have no intention of handicapping it's effectiveness with subsonic ammo, so it'd still be quite loud even with a supressor. I do keep muffs handy.

I have suppressed weapons, but my nightstand pistol is not -yet- one of them. I keep planning on buying a pair of Combat Arms Ear Plugs to set in the nightstand with that pistol. I think they are probably easier (one handed) and quicker to install than a set of muffs which would require two hands.

But I really wonder if I would even have the presence of mind to grab them if I'm seriously pulling that gun out to protect my family. I have to assume that I'll fail to do everything right in a situation like that.

So I'd much prefer to have every HD weapon already suppressed, just to remove that variable of the equation.

If you have a suppressed weapon at hand, it just makes common sense to mai it the one you use indoors. That is one of the things suppressors are designed to do; make shooting indoors more efficient. Of course, common sense isn't all that common sometimes.

Look at all the hate I get on the video I posted on page 2. Most gun owners are uninformed and bash those that use suppressors for HD. It's a tool to improve your odds and nothing more. Think of it as the tac light we use on our guns to ID a target at night.

Blah.

We're just jealous of your truly awesome collection of suppressors. =p

I don't think it's that impressive but maybe because it took me 4 years to get to where it is. I wish I had bought a machine gun first an then suppressors as MG prices have increased rapidly in the past year. Sucks.

I just bought another 45 can. A AAC tirant45 and a MK23 duo. I should get it by 2013 lol. You have a couple of cans dont ya?

IF your worried about gun blast, use a set of electronic muffs while doing your search thorough the house, any family should be in a safe room while you do your thing

If you worried about being surprised by a home invasion then look to beefing up your home security needs.

I have been in Federal and State courts over shootings , and you DON"T WANT TO BE THAT GUY!! If at all possible,

JustinJ-

I think you are misunderstanding my statement. The original person I quoted (might've been you, I don't recall) said they would "not even consider" using DF to protect themselves or their family in the absence of a "castle doctrine" (or atleast that's how I took it) and I am saying I am the exact opposite - I will do whatever I feel I have to with whatever I feel I need to in order to defend my family without a shred of concern for what the law says. Furthermore, anybody who's more concerned with remaining legal than protecting their family....... well, u know
