Went back at it with a silenced pistol, a 1979 Colt Service Model Ace with the same Parker Hale silencer.
Shot some speed drills at close range, about 10 meters.
Tried some subsonic CCI and some supersonic Federal
The distance was so short that a sonic crack could not really be heard. The detonation was louder though.
The metal door I used as a backdrop was pierced by some of the faster rounds. There was also a pine wood board to which the target was stapled, abt 5/8, and a wall behind it.
A reminder that .22lr can be quite a dangerous round. Maybe it’s because of its diminutive size, or the very negligible recoil, but I tend to forget how powerful it can be.
