Hello,
Long time lurker on M4Carbine, rarely post, search is my friend. Sorry for the long post.
I've shot pistols and my AR for many years, I'm not a competitor, mainly fun and home defense. I don't suck, but I don't clear rooms or use my guns for my living. My kids (girls) are getting older and we have started shooting more as a family. My wife has good technique, but she has always been more sound sensitive than recoil sensitive on pistols. Daughters seem to take after her. After a few rounds the flinch gets frustrating for her. On the .22 Buckmark, she's money. She shoots the AR very well out to 100 yards and likes it the best. She likes the pistol better for HD even though I would prefer the AR as the go to. I think I can work on that.
Recently, I got a friend to take her shooting with his suppressors in .22, 9mm, and 45mm. She loved it and immediately improved her accuracy and speed within minutes. Said the HK45C was her favorite to shoot. Came home jazzed about shooting again and said we need to get some "cans".
We own:
HK USP9
HK USP45
Noveske 16" Mid-Length Recce Basic, plastic handguard with fixed front sight, H1 on the flattop.
Winchester Model 70, Extreme Weather, Stainless, 30-06
I searched and compared sizes and multi use for my needs. I think I decided on:
1. 2 Threaded Barrells for the HK pistols, drop in and go.
2. Get the Model 70 threaded 1/2 x 28.
3. Rugged Obsidian 45 and get another piston and front cap for 9mm
3. Rugged Radiant 7.62, Get another QD flash suppressor or brake for the AR. Flash or brake?
Both are modular cans, figured I could see what size and sound levels are best for range vs HD. Looking at noise reduction and weight primarily as my use indicators. Don't want to go too short for the loss in sound reduction, hence the modular choices. I can see long for range days and then make them short for HD. Long or short for hunting with the 30-06, depending on the amount of hiking.
I usually buy once, cry once. If I'm happy when I bought it, I'm usually still happy, 10 or more years later.
Are my decisions sound (pun intended)?
