A pistol must handle totally different with a suppressor install right?
    Not really, I think you greatly over estimate the weight of most pistol suppressors. The primary issue is that often the sights are obscured or partially obscured by the suppressor so a person needs to train for that difference.

    Sure if you want me to... though perhaps another thread would be appropriate?

    Agree that it's still possible to have hearing damage occur during a stress response (of course), but what you describe is only one factor that produces auditory exclusion- the visual cortex of the brain taking precedence over the audible cortex.

    The other factors are:

    Hammer and stirrup contracting as adrenaline constricts the capillaries.

    Increased blood pressure and heart rate through the constricted capillaries and across the parts of your outer and inner ear- tightening and hardening them.

    This can even produce a white noise as the blood passes over your eardrum.

    It's for making the gunshot quieter.

    It's quite simple. You can't covertly assassinate people unless you have a suppressor.

    In Florida you cannot carry a concealed machine gun. I have found no other laws pertaining to concealed carry and NFA in my state, including suppressed weapons. I do plan on carrying my Serbu Shorty concealed when I get my stamp, which should be in the next few weeks.

    Hopefully then you won't run into any situations where you'll need more than 3-4 rounds in a hurry. I'd rather have a high cap Glock 19 with some nice hollowpoints.

    You obviously have not studied the arfcom manual. All you have to do is rack the pump, no actual rounds are needed.

    even better.... ditch the shotgun all together
