Not to mention active earpro allows you to hear but you lose any kind of directional hearing. Could be important when trying to assess what’s going on and where. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

That has always been my thoughts as well. I do worry about disorienting myself and deafening my family though. ----------------------------------------- Roll Tide! Glock Certified Armorer NRA Certified Firearms Instructor | |||

yes, both on a .300BLK SBR & a 9MM HK VP9. Don't want to wake the wife up- she might get upset. | |||

Another thing to consider is do you think the bad guys will have cans on their weapons? Of course not... ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

There are active electronic earmuffs that provide directional hearing. ____________________ | |||

But they probably aren’t coming in with a SBR either. ----------------------------------------- Roll Tide! Glock Certified Armorer NRA Certified Firearms Instructor | |||

This. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

| Go ahead punk, make my day |
And I aim to make it a shooting, not a gunfight - to steal a phrase from a member here.  | |||

Yep. I keep a set of Sordins by whichever long gun I get out of the safe. If it is anything besides my 12ga it also has a suppressor on it. | |||

Well I guess between my G20 which is my night stand pistol and my tavor, my ears are screwed, oh well, I’ll get a can or two someday | |||

and your point is what? you can't put on a set of earmuffs to head to a life threatening gunfight. What's the downside? in addition amplified muffs if you want those are a big plus in my mind in the confines of a house to figure out stuff. FWIW. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

| hello darkness my old friend  |
I had an ear plug come out on an indoor night shoot next to a brick wall. I literally saw stars and couldn't see for several seconds. Suppressed firearms for me in the HD realm. | |||

I think it’s pretty unrealistic to put on muffs, turn them on, put them on every member of the family and then get my rifle ready to rock, not to mention most headphones make it hard to determine where the sound is coming from. ----------------------------------------- Roll Tide!

Built a 300blk pistol with hearing in mind, after trying a suppressed rifle with subsonic ammo. I understand it doesn't solve every issue but I'll be able to see and hear better than without it. ------------------ The plural of anecdote is not data. -Frank Kotsonis | |||

Seriously never understood this argument. People have their own budgets but heaven forbid I have to discharge a weapon in my house the situation just became deathly serious and the risk of 1k in impoundment is way down the list of my concerns at that point. I am not saying there are other valid argument, length of weapon etc. but if this idea of an impounded weapon is not on my list of concerns. If the situation is such that I need to fire a weapon I want the very best tool available. | |||
