I'm still using my old Silencio Magnums with a NRR 29. And still muffling btw.
Thank you for all the replys and stories. I was really looking at the Sordins but 9mm1033's story turned me off at hearing of their bad cs. So I'm still confused. I'm really confused about the NRR ratings. I understand DBs and NRRs. My earmuffs claim a NRR or 29 DB. Electronic earmuffs at $100 and up claim a NRR of 19 to 24. In fact, looking at some standard earmuffs they seem to claim 25db and above. Gotta find a place to try some.

WHATS BETTER ABOUT AN ELECTRONIC EARMUFF???
