All you hear is the hammer hit the firing pin and firing pin hit the cartridge.

Its less than hollywood quiet.

I shot my gun with my wife sitting beside me and she didn't even know. She heard the click but didn't realize what it was.


I bought some CCI suppressor subsonics recently that say they fly 970 FPS. They're quiet but not as quiet as the old 710 FPS CCI subs I stocked up on 10 years ago. The 710 FPS rounds are just like you described. I can't find the 710 FPS anymore.

eta: These, they're a neighborhood squirrel's worst nightmare. They used to cycle my old Marlin model 60 no problem. They shoot like a dream from my pump action Henry. The coons that keep stealing my peaches had better be nervous.

They still make them with a segmented bullet. I’ve pimped them here before. The segmented quiets will put something as big as a beaver down quickly. I’ve killed several with them. It is a devastating round.

No louder than a 22 pellet gun.

They also load the segmented in a subsonic and mini mag. You can get them right now on CCI’s website.
