    So now that I’ve jacked my hearing a bit, I’m looking for a suppressor for my g19’s.

    No, I’m not a secret assassin, I want to protect my ears, and the ears of people around me.

    Any recco’s? Average cost for the stamp silencer?

    I have a silencerco omega 9k on my beretta 92f and it's the cats meow. Tax stamp is $200 and will take a few months to process. If you've never done the ATF bullshit before, I'd recommend going thru silencershop as they have the process down pat.

    Silencershop is the place to start. They make the form 4 process easy. I'd recommend having a local lawyer draw up a trust to hold the suppressor as well as any future NFA purchases. Approval times are currently running about 9 months for individuals and 11 months for trusts, but those numbers will be totally different by the time you're looking at approval. You could also do an eForm-1 and build a suppressor yourself from a kit (or a solvent trap). That'll take about 6 weeks for approval (conservative), but still carries the $200 fee (tax).

    You'll want more suppressors after the first one. Most people recommend you do a 22, a 45 pistol, and a 30 center fire can, as those will cover most anything you'd want to shoot. I find I use my 22 can the most, and not by an insignificant margin.

    Do the 22 if you only do one. If 2 then add a 9, then a 223, then a 30 then a 45.

    Spend money on the can over the gun. HK's are loud, berrettas, glocks and sig all seem to work well. BHP's and hk p7's are a pain.

    My fav 9 is the trident 9. It's full auto rated, has the thread tri lug option and has been great.


    I've only had baffle strikes using this mount... because they suck.

    What's the paperwork process for potato suppressors?

    Here's where it gets weird...at 100 yards, his POI is 4" LOWER with the can. WTF is happening?
    I'm no long gunner expert, but have some experience with cans. I've found that they affect the POI differently for every gun. Some high, some low. We fit 32 Daniel Defense Mk18's with Silencer Co Saker K's and the POI moved everywhere, and on a couple of the guns it didn't change at all. Didn't notice any change in accuracy, but these were 10.2" bbl guns so really long distance accuracy wasn't part of our testing.
    I may have an answer for your 100 yd - 500 yd question. Is it shooting low at 100 because the gun is dialed for 500 and the bullet is still climbing at 100? Not sure if this is what's happening, but I've had it happen to me when I had a long gun. If the gun was dialed for 500 yds, we held high at 100. Of course this is all dependent on caliber, bbl length, bullet weight, etc. Hope this helps.

    One of those days, doing a mag change and mag falls to the ground. Pull another mag pull trigger - Not charged - Jack the slide - And your like here was I? WTF did I shoot what am I shooting at?

    Still an awesome time. The level of Stress when you put your feet on the XX and wait for the Beep. - So you can quick draw and shoot real fast, and stick to a plan. AS everyone watches.

    Sounds like it's the same as a bad round of golf. Like minded people are nice to hang around with and maybe have a beer. Even each one is armed with 14 clubs.

    Did a few comps a few years ago, simply to learn and gain the practice. Only thing I know for sure was that I did best when I shut everyone out, moved at my own pace and concentrated on accuracy without a ton of regard to speed. My scores were way better than when I tried to kick ass.

    I found the peeps to be nice and helpful. One jackass that I happen to know (he's a short range weapons trainer, believe it or not) had an accidental discharge right as his round ended, was DQed, and threw a class five fit even though it was blatantly a DQ. Shit got tense and uncomfortable. I did not enjoy that.

    Interesting, I have seen that twice, The accidental discharge. And they guys kinda walked out red faced, Everyone regardless

    of level has a bad stage or a bad day, but you know way down deep. Time to be a man and eat some humble pie.

    As you know it's fun, very hard, and we all ladies and men kinda lay it all out there. I think it's why I like it so much.

    We even feel for our competitors when it goes sideways, watching a man stand there on the line and empty a magazine trying to hit one metal target, when he usually does 6 of them in 4 seconds - what a thing.

    I'm addicted.

    The Range officers have been emphasizing that allot of late. Too many try to be slick and holster real fast. The time end after your last shot.!! Time to relax, decompress and listen. Nice and slow.. Listen to the range officer., Remove the mag. Put in your pocket Pull back the slide to eject the round. Hold it back - Show the man the empty chamber . When he says I see it. drop slibe drop hammer .. holster. I mean fuck Your all friken JACKED UP from running around shooting at multiple things sometimes 3 rounds a second!!

    Anyway, It's very very mental,

    There it is, last place. Appears I did not get points in two of three stages because I failed to take out or left a mandatory target >

    Just wrapped up a weekend with my 92 year old grandpa and some other family. He wanted to pass on his guns before he went so we all took turns picking out firearms to take home. I ended up with some cool rifles with cool stories and some rifles and shotguns that he didn't know the history on. He told me to sell whatever I wanted but there's only a few I'll probably never shoot and there's no story to them so I'll see if friends want to grab them.

    The favorites I was gifted-

    -Win Model 94 30-30 that he bought the year I was born and carried when he rode his horse rounding up cattle.
    -Colt Army Special 38 that my great grandfathered carried hunting. Looked up the serial number and it will be 100 years old next year.
    -Win Model 71 .348 that he loaned me a few years ago. He made it my first choice in the pickings. The good news-seven boxes of ammo for it.
    -Win Model 75 .22 LR that he shot a bunch of jack rabbits and whistle pigs on the ranch with. Apparently very accurate.
    -Savage Model 24 .22 LR/20 ga over under he kept in his camper since the 70s.
    -My great grandfathers Springfield 1903 30-06 that he hunted with for years before replacing with a pre 64 Model 70 that was already gifted to me on my 16th birthday.
    -A few pump scatters that he can't remember who or where they came from. Probably a bunch of old ranch guns. A couple other .22s and a single shot 20 ga.
    -A Marlin 30-06 that was his big game hunting rifle he bought in the 50s. At the end of the picks, I found out my cousin didn't think about his picks well and didn't get any of our grandpa's actual hunting rifles. I didn't even look at the model...just handed it to my cousin and told him to enjoy it. His girlfriend texted and said that rifle was all he could talk about on the way home.

    Others of note that went to family members included a factory engraved Savage 99 from '54 in .300 Savage, a Weatherby Patrician engraved with his name that he won shooting, 300 Weatherby, Colt 1911 from the '20s, a couple other Savage 24s in different calibers, and a few I'm sure will come out at Thanksgiving.

    I'm not close to much of my family but it was a really cool experience. I can't stand my uncle and as I was going to pick a rifle, he mentioned he really wanted that one and I handed it to him and took his next pick. Some good break throughs. My grandpa laughed and reminisced. I wouldn't change the weekend. I was staying with old g-pops and after everybody left, I poured a bourbon and asked him how he felt. He only said content.

    He also gave me boxes and boxes of ammo. All the center fire isn't corroded and has non-corrosive primers so I'm good there. But there's a bunch of pristine paper hulled shotgun ammo. All looks good. Safe to shoot? I'm okay tossing it too but wondering if there is any value to vintage ammo collectors. I'd give it to them for a beer. Just feel bad tossing it. Rather shoot it or have someone take it who would appreciate it. Anyone know?

    I'll get some pics up as I clean and oil them. Most of them haven't been looked at or much less fired in 20 years.

    Nice, really. Keep the Win 75. Regretted learning that the family model 58 got sold by my dad at a garage sale.
