Suppressed Red Dot 12g Upland Hunting

[CodeSeven]

@CodeSeven you said it’s nothing like suppressed 9mm or 5.56. Is it louder or quieter than those cartridges? Thanks for the write up! I really want a legit suppressed upland shotgun. I don’t care if it’s wood or plastic or whatever. I just want to not have to wear ear pro and to protect my dogs’ hearing.

What I mean is that the difference in sound from unsuppresed 5.56 to suppressed 5.56 is very very noticeable, and this is certainly not as effective I suppose. The manufacturer says 135db on a 28” 12g with full length suppressor. The shorter barrel will make it louder. So I don’t know how much louder the 18.5” barrel I have is compared to a 28. It’s not uncomfortable without hearing pro.

Finding compatible shotguns with shorter barrels (ie 18-22”) is limited since most of them are “tactical” and have fixed bore. I think I know the major ones though if you want I can list them out.

Thank you for the info. No need to list the shotguns that are compatible. I think I will wait and see if there is any new tech that leads to shorter and quieter before I buy.
