Go ahead and flame me, but 9mm is the best handgun caliber on the planet. Honestly, I wish I had adopted 300BLK years ago, 3.
The result is a small package that shoots up to 220gr bullets at subsonic speeds with excellent ballistic coefficients. While not as quiet, plenty of supersonic versions of 300BLK exist to give shooters the option of longer ranges. Besides a barrel change, a 300BLK AR15 won’t require much in the way of alteration.īarrels as short as 5.5” (Sig Sauer Rattler) make for great hosts, while an average barrel length of 7”-11” will allow for a burn of all the powder inside the barrel. Finally having a wide selection of quality subsonic ammunition, this round is almost a drop-replacement for 5.56mm in AR15 platforms. 300BLKĪnother obvious choice, 300AAC Blackout is a fantastic round to suppress. On the other hand, rifle hosts will need ammunition marked as subsonic or with velocities at or below 1,040fps depending on your location and environment.Īs quiet as 22LR can be, it’s not really a good choice for self defense or hunting outside of small game. In most pistols with four inch (or less) barrels, standard velocity rounds are subsonic. Host firearms are relatively inexpensive in comparison to their centerfire counterparts, ammunition is once again cheap and packing 1,000 rounds for a range trip doesn’t require a kettlebell workout regimen. 22LRĪn obvious choice in my opinion, this rimfire cartridge is universally accepted as being excellent for suppression. SILENCER SATURDAY #43: Top 5 Best Rounds To Suppressīesides the all-around entertainment value, my criteria today includes subsonic versions of ammunition, overall availability, cost and commonality between a variety of hosts. Hint: 45ACP fanboys you may want to fire up your typewriters, jump in your Studebakers and head down to the country store to mail me your letter. For today’s exercise, let’s take broad ‘is this enjoyable?’ approach at the best rounds to suppress.Īs always, I expect you to illuminate me on which rounds should have made today’s list. Using absolute terms like ‘best’ will almost always lead to trouble: my best gun/suppressor/ammo combination may get a resounding meh from those with different requirements.
So as the weather takes a turn for the wicked today, I thought we could stay inside and have an open discussion on the top five best rounds to suppress.
Last week we looked at some rimfire silencers because, besides being cheap, clean fun, 22LR host and silencer combinations can be stupid quiet with the right ammo. Greetings everyone and thanks for joining us here for TFB’s Silencer Saturday, where every gun deserves a quality serialized tube.
