Can anyone tell me how loud they are out of a handgun? I was wondering if they would be acceptable to use in the back yard.

Well, unless your backyard was an approved range, it would be COMPLETELY illegal, which makes it rather moot.

Not if you're shooting out the window... :cool:
 
On the original question, I've shot CB shorts out of my colt officer special (6" barrel) before; they're quieter than standard ammo, but nowhere near as quiet as they are out of a rifle. (the sound of the firing pin is louder than the report in a long gun)

There's a definite report out of the revolver, but it's still pretty quiet. Like a cap gun, maybe. A longer barrel or a semi-auto might reduce noise, although they probably won't cycle most semis.

I guess it depends on what's acceptable in your backyard... :)
 
My experience out of a rifle is that they are VERY quiet... Out of a handgun, they are NO WHERE near as quiet and might attract some attention if your not careful...

I'm not sure for a handgun but I have lot of experience with cb long on my differente rifle, i use it at my camping for pest control is less noisy of my high power pellet. Pretty sure is verry more quit on your handgun of regular ammo but I remember my llama 22lr make double of sound of my rifle with regular ammo probably it will maker the double of sound with cb to.
