Is your HD rifle suppressed or is ear protection the plan or both? Poll.

Suppressor, but if time allows I’ll put on some ear pro.

[C-grunt]

I have 3 guns for my main HD options. One has a suppressor buy the other two don't.

I don't like suppressed ARs at all anymore. 14.5" Colt Carbine, No can.

Sometimes it's suppressed, sometimes it's not. I very much doubt if "things" happen I will have time to screw around with ear pro.

If it's suppressed, wonderful. If not, just gonna have to deal with it. Could be worse, could be a Biden double barrel shotgun bark.

My current go to is a 6933. From time to time it's a MP5.

The way it is for me, if very short notice there's trouble, I'll only have a handgun. With just a few more seconds I can grab ears and a long gun. Wife has earpro nearby, too.

This makes me hesitate to use my 16 inch .223 rifle with K-can for HD, making it longer and heavier, and just use the flash hider instead.

That's my thought. A can is still about as loud indoors as shooting a 9mm pistol in my experience. Who knows for sure? Unless someone has had to shoot it out with an M4 in his house, we're all just speculating was the best answer is.

AR pistol, unsuppressed, as bed side gun. Multiple 9mm pistols near by as well. Don't really plan on using ear pro. If it comes to it, I doubt I'd even notice the shooting; didn't in the Army, don't while hunting. If I'm going to take time to put some bit of gear on, it's not going to be muffs, but a damn plate carrier.

I've been in enough indoor ranges and shoot houses to have a fair idea. It's what made me stop thinking shotguns were a good idea.

And if the assailant shoots, or my wife shoots, the can on my rifle won't protect my ears from that.

My SBR has a suppressor on it. If I have time, I will use my electronic ear pro.
