Mac' (et.al.)
Hello, and I hope all is well.
Yeah, I can imagine that the comp' feature really tones the recoil down.....but the noise would be too much for me. I 'plug' my left ear when I go groundhog hunting when using my .223 Handi'. I can't imagine shooting a comp'd .30-06 without 'plugging' both ears, and wearing muffs as well.
Honestly, I couldn't tolerate the noise! And we have seen a few others on this forum who had the same reaction as well.
Of all things, I understand that comp'ing or porting a handgun is nowhere near as bad as with a rifle..... But I haven't fired a ported handgun. Hell, my 5 1/2" Ruger .44 mag' has plenty of concussion without porting it!
But, to each his own.
Take care,
SS'
