what is your loudest handgun ?? - Page 3

BOBA FETT · September 27, 2013, 05:53 PM

ill also add my taurus 941 snubbie in .22 magnum....this thing is also astonishingly loud...

TrueTexan · September 27, 2013, 06:25 PM

Has to be my Ruger Alaskan 44 mag. It is louder than my SRH7.5 inch

Rnolan · September 27, 2013, 06:28 PM

I have a 3006 lone eagle S/Shot 15"barrel

kozak6 · September 28, 2013, 04:48 AM

Another vote for the CZ52.

I shot it side by side with a neighbor's 6" .357 magnum. It's just slightly quieter.

cecILL · September 28, 2013, 06:04 AM

.50AE

skoro · September 28, 2013, 08:49 AM

Mine's a 3" S&W Model 13 .357 mag. Not so bad with 38spl, but a stout 357 really lets out a blast.

oldgunsmith · September 28, 2013, 05:24 PM

The .30 Carbine revolvers seem to have a higher-pitched crack that is harder on my ears than others that technically register more decibels on the meters.

Bozz10mm · September 28, 2013, 09:53 PM

The loudest I have is a Blackhawk 45 Colt 4 5/8" barrel when fired with their Georgia Arms 260gr JHP, which they call +P, and rate at 1200 fps. Yeah, it's loud and packs a wallop.

richardcorey · September 29, 2013, 12:21 PM

A friend a while back bought a Ruger Blackhawk in 30 carbine (well used) went out in his pasture and fired ONE round, and was convinced that something was wrong, so he unloaded and took it to a local gunsmith to check it out. Gunsmith said it's all good. My friend just thought that NOTHING in a handgun could be that loud and not have a problem.
Last I heard he is still using foam ear plugs plus ear muffs and having a ball with it.

Shadi Khalil · September 29, 2013, 04:49 PM

Probably my only .357, a Ruger New Vaquero.

barnbwt · September 30, 2013, 06:35 PM

Ha ha, all my pistols are mentioned here

Probably my 357 with 125gr (S&W TRR8), followed by the Five-seveN, then the CZ-52. The 5.7 is most "obnoxious" due to its higher-pitched roar (which crosses the pain threshold sooner). They're all stupid loud, though, kinda tough to choose

PT-92 · September 30, 2013, 06:44 PM

Colt Walker 1847.

Ricklin · September 30, 2013, 07:14 PM

Currently my CZ 52 holds my own record. It's pretty loud.

Of all the handguns I have fired? 30 carbine Blackhawk.

The IMI Desert Eagle in .50 AE is downright rude too, not only loud but a huge pressure wave to boot.

My .44 mag T/C Contender is also loud when I load it "warm"

KenW. · September 30, 2013, 08:35 PM

Hands down; Bond Arms .45 Colt derringer. Mine has a 3.5" barrel.

Stevie-Ray · October 1, 2013, 12:45 AM

T/C Contender .45-70 Super 16, Magnaported. Really hacks people off, so I don't fire it at ranges anymore. Could be because of it blowing out the wall furnaces also, though.

Both my 10mms are pretty loud too.

Pond, James Pond · October 1, 2013, 01:20 AM

My 4" RH in .44Mag shooting at 1350fps without a doubt.

Not so loud compared to some guns listed here but head and shoulders above the rest of my handguns (.22LR, 9mm, .38spl...

)

zenfly · October 1, 2013, 04:32 AM

The Dan Wesson 357max.. Flame cuts the top strap, and eats the forcing cone out of the barrel in 1,000rds.. Ridiculous loud..

dayman · October 1, 2013, 04:58 AM

has anyone made the "the one I have to shoot inside my house" joke yet?

In all honesty the only handguns I've had to shoot without my ears on - at least in recent years - have been my XDS in .45 (shooting was the climax of an underwear-clad midnight sprint across the lawn chasing a fox) and some .22 out of my mkIII (turning ducks into food).
Between those two, I'd definitely say the XDS wins.

Guv · October 1, 2013, 12:17 PM

My 10" T/C 25-35.

7n6 · October 1, 2013, 12:38 PM

I believe my draco ak pistol is considered a handgun right?

that certainly is the loudest pistol I've had the liberty of shooting.

If you dont appreciate that answer I guess it would have to be my
S&W 686

TomADC · October 1, 2013, 02:19 PM

Not mine but a friend had a AMT Automag II in 22 mag., that thing was super loud huge muzzle flash but zero recoil, nothing seemed to match when shooting that thing.

madmo44mag · October 1, 2013, 02:33 PM

Ruger 30 carbine pistol or my T33 7.62.25
Fired side by side will knock the rust off the rafters at the range.

Magnum Wheel Man · October 1, 2013, 02:59 PM

had a 30 carbine Ruger... & I'll agree it was loud... but for me. it would be a toss up between my ported 14" 45-70 Contender, & my ported 50 A.E. Automag ( the Automag is the smallest lightest of the auto guns chambered in 50 A.E. ) BTW my Alaskan in 454 Casull is also loud, but not as loud as the 45-70 or big 50... porting may have something to do with that ???

3.Shot.Group. · October 1, 2013, 04:00 PM

I don't know if it's louder than anyone Else's, but my 1911-A1 .45 ACP is the loudest handgun that I have, it's not incredibly loud, but it's loud enough.
