gotta be soldiers out there that can answer this one. what is with games and movies where ppl are shooting with a pistol in each hand? i'm a noob so i can't comment but i see that as feigning double the firepower at the cost of all one's accuracy. i see having the 2nd pistol as a backup in case my primary jams/falls/runs dry.am i correct that "double pistols" is just theatre or am i missing something?

@Iamthebammbamm i'd go more with pistols are for when my rifle isn't working properly (jammed, fell down/runs dry) or when i don't have the rifle handy.i heard a story once. Buddy meets his friend and sees he's got a pistol on his hip then asks him "woah, why do you have that pistol? expecting trouble" and Buddy responds "no, if i was expecting trouble, i'd be carrying a rifle"

@greyknight33 not in the military but all the firepower in the world won't do you any good if your not able to be accurate and hit said target. The same reason I set my wife up with a 9mm pistol instead of a 45; she isn't accurate with a 45 but she is with a 9mm.

@greyknight33 @ayy They learned it looked cool when they were making pirate movies. But pirates really carried two pistols because it took too long to reload a muzzleloader, plus you're not vulnerable while drawing out your sword after the first shot.The only modern advantage is less arm arc movement in subsequent targeting so you can suppress fire with one hand while targeting with the other and then switch quicker with a head move as you're spraying to clean out a room.And then there's

@Pnakp makes complete sense to me. now this would be for self-defence. a .45 would be great on my hip if in the woods and a bear approaches (i'm sure the 9mm would just bounce off him) but definitely matters not if you can't hit the target. man i should start a list of hilarious hollywood action stunts.

@Klaatu @ayy YES! you are a mind reader. first off, fantastic movie! top 10 if not the top 3. i guess if one had some bad ass head gear with targeting systems, a gun in each hand is beneficial due to "gun fu" concepts. right now tho, i feel there's too much loss in single handing each pistol and i'm with the "rather have a rifle" group.back in muzzle loader days, i guess it was faster to draw your pistol and shoot than to draw your sword? i always thought its to weaken the offense from afar

@greyknight33 @Klaatu @ayy Loaded guns are heavy, if someone is double fisting, it's probably a Hollywood script. Very difficult to get good accuracy like you said. @Klaatu is dead accurate about pirates and their pistols, in fact during Westward Expansion two single-action, revolver pistols were carried also for the sake of avoiding a long reload, and real shooters left one chamber empty.This is a great video on one of the few times Wyatt Earp talked on gunfighters.https://youtu.be/7a249qHxh90

@greyknight33 An old lady gets pulled over by a cop, and as the officer comes over to the passenger window she informs him that she has weapons in her purse. He grabs the bag and looks in it, and finds a 1911 pistol, a 44 magnum revolver and some other gun. He looks at her and says, "Geeze Lady, what are you afraid of?!" She replies "Not a godamn thing!"She got off with a warning.

@KillerMule @Klaatu @ayy thanks for this! hat tip to you sir! this was a fantastic listen!i 100% see Wyatt's points and observations. very impressive about the empty chamber. i bought a holster for my glock as i'm scared to walk around with one in the chamber. guess i'm not alone in that thought.heard another version of Wyatt's phrase (kinda similar), the hurrier you go the behinder you get. more applicable to everything in life.

@greyknight33 @greyknight33 @Floydian_Psychology 9mm vs 10mm vs .45 depends on what you want to shoot.More bullets per mag = 9mmMore power per bullet = 10mmWon two world wars + basically subsonic = .45 acp

@greyknight33 @Bad_Banner @greyknight33 @Floydian_Psychology Totally understandable. I only want a .45 acp upper because I have a .458 suppressor. Works with anything smaller diam. then. .458. But the smaller the bullet the less effective it is. Yes its registered and I don't care.

@greyknight33 idk if a 45 is any more effective than a 9mm against a bear once you consider the velocity, bullet mass, and bullet surface area of contact. For a bear I'd bet penetration is key. Not sure if either one would penetrate.

@greyknight33 @Klaatu @ayy Yeah the getting injured in the wild west thing was quite a consideration, not a lot of hospitals. Also getting shot with a dung covered arrow from the natives was also formidable. I carry a 1911 A1 officers model with one in the pipe and a full mag, hammer back, safety on and holstered. Just like a cop. Glock has just that trigger safety so I get the safety concern. But you're also more than doubling your response time when you need it. And may we never ever need it.

@greyknight33 @Klaatu @ayy My not professional advice is to have a holster you're confident in if it isnloaded ready to go, or maybe consider a different platform with a safety you're comfortable with. Also, if there's children around changes how I carry, or secure things, or the status of my firearm. For instance there's three stages of ready with a 1911, mag loaded, not chambered(safe&slow) |Chambered but hammer down (very dangerous)| Chambered hammer back, safety on. (safe&fast)

@greyknight33 @Klaatu @ayy Always go with what you're comfortable with and have the most experience with. Muzzle control is the king of the discipline. Practice grows confidence and usually makes you a safer shooter. Remember the big 4 rules of safety. Avoid the rules of stupid. It's always loaded. Gun maintenance is as important as shooting. Be on the right side of the range if you can. Don't fiddle with it. If it didn't sound right when it went off, don't pull the trigger again. Have fun!

@Pnakp heard rifle up close is no bueno. my first inclination was bullet diameter and stopping power. short of having a shotgun, my next thought was a high caliber with great stopping power, so .45acp and .44mag come to mind. maybe loop .357mag in there too. at least the boom of the latter two will freak the honkin' creature out.

I use hoppes #9 or safariland CLP BreakFree, 1 wet, and 3-4 dry cotton wads, then hoppes gun oil lightly. I have cheap dentist tools from a swapmeet or harbor freight for detail work. White pipe cleaners can be useful for small ports and stuff. I bore snake the 12ga barrel, and clp the bolt and use qtips in my chamber. Walmart, cheap kits

But I can shoot Glocks, Springfield XD, 1911 A1 & Match, CZ P10C (2nd fav), Ruger GP100 .357/.38 decently. The ballistics now on 9mm are very good though. Of all the gun maintenance things, the cloth patches are what cost me the most. Find your best deal on that. Walmart has cheap and common cleaning kits usually around $20-$30 dpending on caliber and length needed.

@greyknight33 for handguns you want at least 44 mag. Rifle is the best thing to have no matter the distance. Put holes in arteries and organs to cause as much blood loss and blood pressure drop as possible. That's how you kill things. Pistol rounds barely kill humans, they aren't ideal for grizzlies. They're better than a stick or knife but I'd take a rifle any day over a handgun. The only advantage a handgun would have is if it's on top of you. But you're probably screwed by that point anyway.

@greyknight33 @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology I've had a baffle strike before, the can came loose, on the threaded barrel adapter after a long day of shooting and, *I* forgot to check to see if it was loose. Not the can's fault. Not the problem of the design. *ME* it was my fault for not checking.I guarantee any can/tube rated for full auto would have enough room for your bullets to fly by flawlessly. Here is the thing about suppressors and the baffle diameter tolerance: It will reduce the rapport from about 165 to 140 db. Period. You might have the tightest most finely tuned can and it will still be loud. It will be maybe a few more decibels louder if your can's baffle diameter is wider. So that diameter doesn't really mater to much.Here is what DOES matter:First is Tone. You want a can that takes the loud blast of the bullet and makes it into a sound that doesn't hurt your ears. If you aren't shooting subsonics you will never get rid of the sound of the bullet breaking the sound barrier.The second thing that matters is volume. More gasses (larger bullets) require more voluminous suppressors. Smaller calibers = smaller thinner cans. Because less gas. Third thing is length. Longer = more baffles = more volume. It also increases barrel length and makes the gun more cumbersome.

@Pnakp jeez, just convinced me a sawed off shotgun at my side is best for in the woods. just don't want the creature's adrenaline kicking in and temporarily bypassing the blood loss issue (takes time). thought stopping power would be the way. that monster sure would feel a couple 12g slugs.

@StoleMyThundersBalls @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology can't get lower than 140db? i shot a sig with a can (tho was wearing ears) and couldn't even hear it, just the slide moving. i imagine the receiving end would just hear the bullets hitting the target.def gonna test with subsonic. figured impossible to surpass the sonic boom. all makes perfect sense. so really, only go with a smaller can when the round has less powder (i.e. never use mag rounds).

@StoleMyThundersBalls @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology btw, the only down side of a longer can is just the cumbersomeness? otherwise its more effective since more baffles are possible? no other factor?

@greyknight33 @greyknight33 @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology It would be heavier all other things considered equal. Light metals like titanium or alluminum would only be slightly heavier. The weight difference between a 6" and 8" titanium can wouldn't be much. But the weight difference between a 6" and a 12" stainless steel can would be significant.

@StoleMyThundersBalls @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology makes sense, twice the length gotta be close to twice the weight. and i can't imagine stabalizing the pistol by holding the can with your left. ouchie.

@greyknight33 @greyknight33 @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology they have suppresor covers made of neoprene or some other type of thermal interference rubber. Also canvas. But most guys recomend gloves if you are going to grab the can to check if it is on securely.

@greyknight33 @greyknight33 @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology I have also shot cans that get regular rounds down to hearing safe levels. That is why I said tone is more important. It can still be 130db but sound pitch has changed where you don't hear the shot. For example a dog whistle is so highpitched we don't hear it. (Not quiet the same, but you get the idea)

@StoleMyThundersBalls @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology thermal interference rubber... sounds pretty awesome. only thing tho is it probably slows down the heat dissipation. probably gloves is the way to go then?

@StoleMyThundersBalls @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology ooohhhh got it. so more sound frequency than amplitude (dB). correct me if i'm wrong, so the sound is bouncing in the can thus causing the frequency to slip to a low band, thus outside of most ppl's range of hearing?

@greyknight33 @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology I would think its a higher fqz more then a lower one. But I can't find any information about it on line. The best I could come up with is dipole whistle physics.

@StoleMyThundersBalls @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology interesting point. in that case, the design shouldn't just be baffles to capture unburnt powder (and help cool gases) but to resonate to >20MHz, or really > 12MHz and most can't hear that anyway. so designing the baffles as a kind of dog whistle is the best silencer.interest the science behind whistles but a little out of my league at the moment tho if you need a break from the daily grind:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_whistles

@greyknight33 @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology I think anything past 20khz is unhearable by humans.

@StoleMyThundersBalls @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology yes, you'd have to be a super human to hear above that but most adults can't hear past 15MHz, even 12MHz. there's fun little tests online for that where they play a tone and you gauge whether you heard it. kids can hear higher frequencies than adults but 20MHz is typically the cap.still, if you can't get to 20 but get to 15, i think that's good enough for production.

@StoleMyThundersBalls @Bad_Banner @Floydian_Psychology listened to these thru my headphones. the lowest and highest ones need volume but the middle ones are LOUD. anyway, what's the 16MHz one sound like?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_frequency

@greyknight33 I suppose it depends on "stopping power" definition. CPL defense classes teach to continue shooting (human attackers) until they are incapacitated/no longer a threat. When things die/cease attacking, it's due to severe blood pressure drop which is due to massive blood loss. I suppose adrenaline could allow them to overcome low blood pressure and continue attacking but I'm not sure I guess. Hopefully neither of us encounter a human or animal attacker that requires using guns.

@Pnakp i'm with you 100% on that! really hope it never happens but especially in today's day and age, better to have one (plus the training) and never use it than not have it and wish you did.i heard that its worse when a bullet goes clean thru soft tissue but better when it stops inside the target. just means all energy has been transferred and thus all the force is felt, plus got the foreign object in the receiver. i heard grizzlies get crazy mean so would rather be super prepared.

@greyknight33 agreed. Also sawing off your shotgun in the US is a sticky situation. I'd advise against it or ensure it's legal length. Google Ruby Ridge...

@Pnakp jeez good point 😬 so totally not going to do that man, no way at all for anyone tuning in.
