BOBA FETT · September 25, 2013, 05:08 PM

what is your loudest handgun....for me its a toss up between my 30 carbine blackhawk and my .480 super redhawk...

Old 454 · September 25, 2013, 05:11 PM

my Ruger Alaskan 454.

TheNatureBoy · September 25, 2013, 05:16 PM

My .45 long colt J.P Sauer and Sohn Western Marshall.

.357 mag snub nose.

allaroundhunter · September 25, 2013, 05:59 PM

My .38 Super 1911

Fox84 · September 25, 2013, 06:12 PM

My Keltec PLR 16 in 223

foxytwo · September 25, 2013, 06:53 PM

My favorite is my Sig P250c 9mm.

Kreyzhorse · September 25, 2013, 07:10 PM

I'd guess my SP 101 in .357. That is just a guess of course.

All of my handguns are too loud to shoot without hearing protection so it's really kinda a moot point above a certain decibel level.

Fisher · September 25, 2013, 07:52 PM

My Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 magnum.

T/C Contender 10" ported 45-70.
At least that's what people around me at the range say.

Dragline45 · September 25, 2013, 07:58 PM

My model 60 snub in .357. Don't own the gun anymore, but I still have the ringing in my left ear.

zxcvbob · September 25, 2013, 07:59 PM

.30 Ruger Blackhawk, no question, especially with hot handloads. But the 4" Security Six is right on up there with 125 grain .357's.

chewie146 · September 25, 2013, 08:14 PM

.357 Ruger Blackhawk with Winchester 296 max reloads.

lee n. field · September 25, 2013, 08:41 PM

Taurus 605, if and when I ever shoot .357 out of it.

2ndsojourn · September 25, 2013, 08:53 PM

My el cheapo Super Dakota 44 magnum.

Gdawgs · September 25, 2013, 08:53 PM

My BFR in 460 followed by either the 454 Super Redhawk or the SP101 in 327.

I think my dad's Lone Eagle in 30-06 takes the cake though.

Bill DeShivs · September 25, 2013, 09:02 PM

By far my Iver Johnson .30 carbine Enforcer pistol.

Southern Rebel · September 25, 2013, 09:24 PM

Sorry, could you repeat that? I have been enjoying my Ruger redhawk 44 magnum and my reading is shaky!

Scout · September 25, 2013, 09:26 PM

A Taurus .44 mag snub with ported barrel.

Brian Pfleuger · September 25, 2013, 10:13 PM

If you've never heard a pistol length gun that fires a rifle cartridge, you've never heard a loud handgun. The uber-magnum revolver cartridges that run near rifle pressures are probably the exception to that.

My 15" Encore Pro Hunter in 7mm-08 is positively deafening. It's absolutely a double ear protection gun and you DO NOT want to be close to anything resembling a wall when you shoot it.

In terms of traditional handguns, my 3.46" 357sig never fails to get "What the HELL are you shooting down there, son?!" at the indoor range.

pelo801 · September 25, 2013, 10:16 PM

30 carbine ruger blackhawk

TXAZ · September 25, 2013, 10:20 PM

10" Draco aka AK-47 pistol firing 7.62x39. Emptying a 30 round mag is painful without ear protection, I've heard.

Brian48 · September 25, 2013, 10:26 PM

Don't really have any super powerful handguns. This is about as loud as it gets for me.

My Colt Delta Elite

80viking · September 25, 2013, 11:21 PM

My Broomhandle chambered in 30 Mauser came to mind first, then I remembered about my ported Taurus 44 mag, I haven't shot that one in several years.
