S&W model 60 with a 2" barrel in .38 special.
Your loudest handgun
- Thread starter turbosloth

not really a loud revolver by any standards, but it was for us.
Imagine this:
-Dad and Son have never shot a revolver before.
- Package arrives with a S&W Model 10, .38spl with 4" barrel (packed with several boxes of +P rounds - the good old days...lol).
- It's raining outside.
- Dad and Son decide to "try this baby out" at the local outdoor range that does have an old 6' x 8' shed with a "window" cut out of it to shoot from.
- the rain was really, really coming down, sideways. So Son stands back from the window and pulls the trigger (of course, back in 1984 neither of us wore earmuffs).
- and DANG if that wasn't the loudest gun I'd ever shot, muzzle blast was inside the enclosure - scared the pants off us -but my Dad and I were grinning from ear to ear!!!
- needless to say, the rest of the box of ammo was shot OUTSIDE

It's enough to make people beside you sh_t their pants

I could see a major 9 like that being very punishing. The sig is not loud for the shooter... just the spectators and RO's
Another fellow at my club was shooting hot handloads out a Ruger GP100 two bays over. It was loud enough everyone in bay three went over to see what was going on in bay one.
Of course, he let each of us shoot a few rounds. Awesome but loud.

I shoot at a local indoor range most times. Every now and then someone rents the .500 S&W. I find it so obnoxious and distracting I usually just take a break until they are done. I'd hate to put a round in the ceiling. Loudest thing I have been around as far as pistols by far.

Loud: 38 super with a compensator
Louder: .357 SIG
Loudest: 4" .44 with a full load of 296.....filling rattler.
Stupid loud: I've shot a 500 too - a true beast and with that comp it has, likely the loudest but geez I couldnt' tell since I was trying VERY hard not to drop it!
