I have at least 7 guys from silencertests.com coming. :mrgreen: I think Muzzleflash said he was coming also. Does anyone want to grill, and if so do any of you guys have a portable gas grill?

At least one guy is bringing a .45 USP with a suppressor (I think its an SWR HEMS2). You can judge for your self on Saturday but suppressed .45's are loud compared to a 9mm or even a .40 cal. Most people who do shoot suppressed .45's shoot them "wet" which means they add an ablative such as water or gel to help cool and contract the gasses and thus making the suppressor quieter. The down side to this is that the ablative either evaporates or gets blown out the suppressor after a mag or two, it is also very dirty and gets crap all over you and your gun. Most .45 suppressors need to be shot "wet" in order to be hearing safe without ear protection where most 9mm's can be shot dry with no problem.
