Continuing on from the .22 thread:
Why is that first round pop so important to you?
What real difference does it make if it does occur?
In your mind, or in your documentation if you have any, how much less loud is it than an un-suppressed shot, and how much more loud is it than a second suppressed shot?
In my guns, I don't notice it.
If it's there, it's not loud enough to make any difference to me whatever.
It's still quieter than an un-suppressed shot.
I don't get Hollywood quiet out of either gun with the Sparrow.
I get a sufficient degree of sound reduction through all rounds fired in the Ruger that I can fire indoors without hearing protection.
Though the rifle barrel, only one load so far has been sub-sonic, but the rest were reduced enough in volume levels by suppressing the sound from the gases to leave me comfortable with firing extended sessions outdoors without a headset.
Indoors, I have not tried it & won't.
I'm not noticing a first round pop, and even if I did, it would have no importance to me.
Why is it such an issue for you?
