Your loudest handgun

[tnegrin83]

460v, by far.

THIS

I get accused of shooting rifles on the handgun range, almost every time I bring the boomer out to play

 

[saskgunowner101]

Longshot powder with 135 grain Noslers through my M&P40 is noisy, and W-296 with 158 grain XTP's is nice fireball and noise in Ruger GP-100 .357 magnum

 

[tallguy992]

Thompson Contender with 30-30 barrel and factory ammo, huge bang and recoil and flames. Way too much fun!

 

[graydog]

All my Contenders and Encores make lots of noise. The 460 and 500 S&W are real loud with lots of flame but the one that really fools everyone is my S&W model 53 in 22 Rem Jet. If you have never fired one or been around someone who has you really have no idea how loud a tiny gun can be. There is absolutley no recoil to speak of but the noise is deafening. Great fun everyone wants to shoot it when I take it out.

[IM_Lugger]

My Glock 29 10mm or Tokarev

 

[Dexter Morgan]

Super Blackhawk, .44 Magnum with a 4 5/8" Barrel.

 

[Bcviking]

TOC TT33 with surplus ammo. Makes a .44mag sound like a .410. Nasty little critter but fun to shoot

X2^^ that TT-33 is a loud little bastard wow! And fast too! Czech surplus runs at about 1650 FPS!

 

[Anfoman76]

50 cal muzzleloader

 

[Dr.K]

Tokarev. Definitely louder than a 9mm or .45 for sure. I love that little sucker. You feel a nice shockwave when your buddy shoots one beside you too. They have roughly the same powder charge as a .45acp and the bullet weigh's about 1/3 as much!!!! Its alot of powder for a bullet smaller and lighter than a 9mm.

 

[Jeff/1911]

Ruger Old Model Blackhawk in .30 Carbine - absolutely ignorant...

I wondered if anyone would mention this gun/caliber...it get's my vote!

 

[Tyockell18]

I only shoot antique revolvers but probably my remington no.4 in .38 rimfire.

 

[SLANTO]

1 out of every seventh shot or so with my old CZ52 and 1950's era 7.62X25 czech surplus.

 

[Apoc69]

1 out of every seventh shot or so with my old CZ52 and 1950's era 7.62X25 czech surplus.

+1. Those "excessive" rounds are louder than either my .44 or .357 DEs.

 

[Kevin M.]

Either my .50AE Desert eagle or the .45-70 Magnum Research BFR I got to try at the range one time.

For rifles, Steyr HS-50. It clears your sinuses with every shot with that muzzle brake.

 

[sillymike]

One of those in 7mm US

Pleasant to shoot... but a little on the loud side to use indoors...

Years ago Doug Koenig shot the long range event at the Masters with a motorcycle helmet on, the combination of the XP100 chambers for something like 7mmBR and enclosed shooting stall apparently made for a less than pleasant experience.

bushmaster carbon15 97-s ar pistol. my little dragon.

 

[NAA]

My S&W Model 19 [K frame[ .357 Magnum snubbie can be quite 'barky' with full house loads:

NAA.

The loudest handgun I've ever heard isn't one I own but one I had the loan of from a buddy. A Ruger Blackhawk chambered in 30 M1 carbine. It sounds loud like the report of a 44 Mag using really hot loads combined with the sharp intensity of a 22 Remington Jet.
