Depends if it's from a rifle or pistol, and subsonic or supersonic.
Definitely much louder than .22lr though.
9mm's can be Bloody loud Toby

A shotgun. Bugger was hoping to play with it around home.
Would the pistols be louder due to a short barrel?
Now thats not something you see many of, Ive heard of them, never played with one.Quote:

That fires shot out of a 9mm case?Quote:

Shotgun with a insert that goes in the barrel to take 9mm. might get a .357 one at some stage too. should be good for a laugh.
Ya not many people like sitting next to me at the range with my 11.9 inch AR with Muzzle brake :DQuote:

Yup. They are on trademe for about 40 bucks.
I saw them earlier on and said to my brother if I see a single shot shotty for cheap I'll get me this. Turns out a cheap single shot was on the forum today :)
If you fire a 9mm at home (unless you live really rural) you might find yourself surrounded!!! 9mm is quite loud, well from a pistol anyway
In an urban environment, yeah thatll be reasonably loud.Quote:

9mm in a rifle is louder than a .22 but what did you expect.
Google said average speed is 1100-1300 so I expected it to be around the same noise level as a .22lr. Glad I asked cause this isn't the case
Yeah theres more powder needed to get a 115-124gr pill moving at that speed, so more gas breaking the sound barrier so more booooom. At least thats how I think it works. :thumbsup:Quote:

Ase Utra sound suppressors
9mm is a fun little round to reload. I found a cast .358 150gn LRN sized down to .356, with a subsonic load of about 4.2gns of Unique was uber accurate and still grunty enough to cycle the action. Factory stuff is way louder.
Reloading may be worth while. If I can get subs working it'll be hella fun smoking sparrows out the window
Careful with the firing zone , you never know who is peeking in your window:o.
I've made some shot shells with .357 "they're fun till you put your eye out" hehe lucky I was wearing eye protection as they bounce back off wood rather than embed.
FYI @Toby lives in Wairoa. What happens there is a bit different to the rest of the world :P
YES. the longer the barrel means lower gas pressure (expansion), the cooler the gases and more done by the work done by the gases. All this adds up to less pressure at the muzzle when the bullet exits thus less noise.Quote:

Just a thought, even if the insert is rifled there is still gonna be some play in the chamber so you may battle to get a zero unless you secure the insert to the chamber somehow.
About 3" and nope which is why Im wary of a suppressor. I have seen rifled versions though that are longerQuote:

Leaning towards welding a bit of steel to the barrel that's drilled and tapped to take a mount. Not sure yet I change my mind so much
If your gonna scope it it would be worth fixing the insert in the barrel if its not a snug fit.
Extraction could be tricky then tho.
I was thinking maybe getting a rifled one and welding it to the extractor and grinding it flat but not to sure if I want to weld it in cause then that stops me using other ones
Gun turned up today thanks @Malhunting
Not enough meat to drill and tap but will probably pretty safe to weld something to it. I places a scope roughly where I thought it be and noticed to cock it will be an issue but can always weld a little bar out to the side
Glad it turned up ok mate, i want to see finished pics.
a bit of thread tape would make it fit snug if need be,
