LOUDEST HANDGUN

[OLDSTER]

What is the LOUDEST hand gun you've ever heard ?? My vote goes to the Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine caliber. Insanely LOUD

Heizer's 'Pocket AK' now shipping!
I haven't personally heard one fired, but I think this would be hard to top.

The one that goes BANG when you are expecting Click!!!!

My .500mag makes a good boom. I looked for a chart showing Db ratings but didn't find one with the .500 or your .30 carbine listed.

A super hot 125 gr in .357 magnum through a 2 1/2" barrel.

 

[waxman]

A .454 Casull is my loudest.

 

[David LaPell]

That was without a doubt my Thompson Center Contender with the .35 Remington barrel. That was I think the most unpleasant handgun I owned.

 

[Kernel Crittenden]

Thompson/Center Contender, 12-inch in .223 Rem (super-super sonic), with T/C's propitiatory muzzle brake. OMG. It takes "loud" to a whole nuther level. Eleven on the Spinal Tap scale.

 

[Fishslayer]

+1 on the Contender. Ol' boy had a 30/06 at an indoor range!

Do we count those? Rifle calibers & all.

.500 S&W would have to be the noise king of handgun calibers.

A Dan Wesson Supermag in .357 Maximum makes a decent bang.

When I saw the title of this thread I immediately thought of the AMT AutoMag III .30 Carbine. The .30 Carbine round in a handgun is loud.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

The data I could find shows noise going up as caliber increases.
This list only goes to 44 mag so I expect that the 500 is louder.
And the hand held rifles are probably louder than the handgun rounds.
How loud is your gun

I have a Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine caliber and it is one of the loudest handguns that I own. My Kel-Tec PLR-16 ..223 pistol might be louder. It is a close call. The Kel-Tec has a Muzzle Break that pushes that sound back at you.

YOUCH !!

 

[Duster340]

Brother in law had a ruger sa 22 mag. It was surprisingly loud!

 

[Rule3]

SW 460 Mag. The concussion is just brutal!

It produces more psi than the 500.

 

[DeathGrip]

My Dads old Ruger Flat top.44 was loud esp with some of the loads he had but my Security Six with 125s has one heck of a ear piercing cracking sound.

I think there's a difference between the "tonal quality" of various rounds and platforms and factor in the powder and barrel length plus the action of the gun and you have a lot of sound variances.

Can you hear me now?
