what is your loudest handgun ?? - Page 6

My buddy has an S&W ported revolver called "The Trailboss" in .44 magnum with 3" barrel. I stupidly fired it ONCE without hearing protection. My ears rang for two days afterwards. Even with headphones on I don't like to shoot it much more than a cylinder full at a time.

Mine is a toss up between a short barrelled .357 mag and a Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt with my "Ruger Only" hand loads.

A tompson center contender with a 14" .223 barrel, that thing is crazy loud.

Im going to have to say my S&W 29-3 in 44mag.

S&W 460 XVR... By far my loudest hand gun.

Loudest i've shot? my dad's .357. Of my personal collection? My .45 P220.

j3ffr0 · November 8, 2013, 08:58 AM

SP101 4" in .357

My loudest gun is my Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan .454 Casull loaded to the max charge and bullet weight.

That 2 1/2" barrel snub-nose is LOUD !!!!!!

Loudest I ever shot probably goes to a TC in 44-440. Loudest I own recently went to the Coonan .357. It is pretty ridiculous on the decibel level but a lot of fun to shoot.

Probably a 44 mag. NAA semi auto in 32 acp is amazingly loud for its tiny size.
