what is your loudest handgun ?? - Page 5

codefour · October 14, 2013, 11:38 PM

I would have to say my Ruger SRH with full house 454 Casull loads. It's louder than my full house 460 XVR loads.

mrt949 · October 15, 2013, 08:22 AM

My T.C. Contender in 222. rem. 10 in.

darkgael · October 16, 2013, 08:20 AM

.30-30 Winchester in a 10" barrel T/C Contender.

Probably my 5.5" Bisley .45 Colt with a stout charge of Lil'Gun or H110/296. Not insanely loud, but definitely has the cannon-like boom factor to it when the trigger is pulled.

Erno86 · October 16, 2013, 03:33 PM

My Super Redhawk 454, shooting full house loads.

temmi · October 17, 2013, 12:49 PM

I'm thinken it is my 480R

Contender in 14" barrel in .300 Bellm Stewart----close to a .308

iblong · October 17, 2013, 04:39 PM

My 4'' 586,it hurts a bit when you forget to slip on your ears.

Microgunner · October 17, 2013, 04:41 PM

Probably my .22TCM but that's just a guess.
It's one LOUD sucker.

BOBA FETT · October 17, 2013, 04:43 PM

my .480 super redhawk touching off 400 grainers is pretty awe inspiring to say the least..

RodTheWrench · October 17, 2013, 05:06 PM

Dunno, I never have all of my handguns at the range at the same time.

I'm guessing it would be between my Ruger SP101 in 327 Fed. Magnum or my S&W 686 (357 Mag) with PowerPort.

Loudest gun I've ever SHOT is a Desert Eagle in 50AE.

LE-28 · October 17, 2013, 07:13 PM

I have to say my 327 fed mag snub. I shoot my ,357mag at the indoor range I use and they don't complain.
When I get out my ,327 fed mag, people start backing out of the lanes with their hands over their head sets.

I had to quit shooting full house 327 fed mags their because of complaints. I still shoot two different .357 mags their and they seem to be ok with that.

From standing behind it pulling the trigger I don't notice it being any loader than my .357s but from all the complaints about my .327, something' causing it.

7.62x25 Tokarev

outlaw2 · October 20, 2013, 11:33 AM

Its got to be my Bond Arms Derringer It sounds like the sky has ripped open when you touch off a 410 in it

Fisher · October 20, 2013, 03:31 PM

Very nice Outlaw2. I always wonder what it would be like to shoot one in .410

Jim

outlaw2 · October 20, 2013, 04:45 PM

Thank you Fisher
The recoil is not near as bad as the noise the over size rubber grips really helps

elkhunter521 · October 21, 2013, 01:07 AM

460 S&W 5 inch.

Big4Freedom · October 21, 2013, 08:36 AM

Good call, Outlaw2, on the rubber grip. I need to put one of those on my snake slayer. Not as pretty as the rosewood, but much more practical. It's so small now that I have to grip firmly w/strong hand and pull trigger with off hand finger. Weird at first but provides a much better purchase on the gun when firing .410 or .45LC. I got the idea from several folks on youtube and have enjoyed it since.

outlaw2 · October 21, 2013, 09:40 AM

Big4 I think I saw that same video you are talking about.
I tried holding the derringer in my right hand and pulling the trigger with my index finger on my left hand but for me it just didn't feel right so I ordered the extended rubber grips and right now they are on sale at the Bond Arms sight
and they do make a difference.

Katsumi Liquer · October 22, 2013, 08:36 AM

Other indoor range users have commented that my .454 Casull 7.5" Ruger Super Redhawk is distractingly loud, especially when I'm shooting my full-house 250 gr. handloads.

Funny thing is, with doubled-up hearing protection, it doesn't seem excessively loud from the shooter's perspective directly behind the gun; it's only when someone else is shooting the gun and I'm standing slightly behind and to one side, that I get to experience what the others are talking about.

WIN1886 · October 24, 2013, 07:55 PM

My little J -frame S&W model 651 chambered in .22 magnum is loud !

Kaimen · October 24, 2013, 09:38 PM

Ruger redhawk 44 magnum 4"

msokad · October 27, 2013, 06:36 AM

My S&W 500. I handload my brass and 39.0 grains behind a 350 gr bullet gets a lot of attention.

stevelyn · October 29, 2013, 01:41 AM

My 4" Redhawk .45 Colt.

Especially when loaded to the gunwales with 24gr of H-110 and a 335gr CP WFNGC. It bucks. It roars. It belches out giant orange fireballs and will probably ignite my tent and sleeping bag if ever called on for its primary purpose.
