I have an 11" 9mm AR which is in "mid-build". I took it to the range mounted to my pistol lower and fired a few rounds single shot to get a feel for it. My 11.3" 5.56 is louder, but I have pretty significant hearing loss so I cannot really tell how much louder.
Is a 11" 9mm ear safe? I assume no, so will foam earplugs or muffs be enough protection? I am doubling up (plugs, muffs) when I shoot my 5.56 pistol. I use either one or the other shooting handguns or 16"+ carbines/rifles.
These may seem like dumb questions, but I have searched and cannot find a dB level for longer barreled 9mm guns. I am trying to keep the hearing I have left.
Thank you
Andy
