I have a dog that's not very fond of gunfire of any kind. I'd like to take a 9mm or 45 out and waste some money blasting some tree stumps (excellent bullet stops btw, 308 goes maybe 4" in it and stops) for the hell of it. I assume a 45 suppressed with reg 230 gn ball is subsonic correct? If so I would also assume it would be less loud that many of the 9mm supersonic rounds available?
I plan on getting a run of the mill glock 19 with threaded barrel and a Silencerco Osprey 45 (so I can use it on 45's as well) just to do some plinking where hopefully it won't scare the dog. There have been times where he hasn't heard my full power 308 700 go off through my specwar 762, then others he has I don't know why.
So I guess I'm wondering how a suppressed 9 or 45 stacks up against a suppressed 223 or 308?
I've never actually heard a suppressed pistol of any kind, but I'm quickly gaining an interest considering the form 4 times are around half what i waited for for my specwar.
