Oh, c’mon. It’s “Latino.”

It depends on what you get but a weapon designed with a suppressor in mind won’t be negatively affected. Really all it is is a muffler that catches sound waves. This is a weird one to apply to the guns-bad argument because there are a lot of good reasons to use a suppressor on a sporting firearm. I think the author…

You asked a good question. For what it’s worth, shooting 300 BLK subsonic rounds (220 grain) did not affect my POI up to about 25 yards indoors when my suppressor was fitted as compared to supersonic (147 grain) rounds. I use a SilencerCo Specwar 762, which is a fairly modern device.

When you are hunting or at a range, that is definitely the worst part.

Ok. I know that had come up in the past so I guess it depends on the technology. Thanks!

Your POI (point of impact) may move based on the design of the suppressor and the rounds you’re using. But it is a fixed quantity. Ideally, you would re-zero your sights or optics at a shooting range before hunting. New technology makes subsonic rounds much more consistent than in the past and it is no longer true to…

I agree with most of what you say, but here’s a legitimate reason I can think of: keeping near-suburban ranges open. Noise complaints (and environmental challenges) seem to be the leading reasons why nearby ranges are being closed down where live ... and keeping the neighbors happy by reducing the noise would be a…

For the argument on hunting and target shooting- don’t suppressor actually hurt accuracy?

Hearing protection is good but they cause other issues. They limit your hearing so if your deer is approaching, you may not hear it until it’s too late to take a shot. The suppressor solves the noise issue by allowing you to take the shot at the right time and save your hearing.
