I'm not impressed by this. A suppressed firearm can be quieter. But I think it is more about the shooter's choice of ammo and not understanding how suppressors work than it is about the suppressor. IDK if this particular suppressor was designed to reduce the velocity of standard ammo or not but regardless, those bullets are coming out of the gun way too hot and, because they are moving at transonic speeds, they make a lot more noise. Not a sharp crack but I could still hear this gun a mile away. My guess is this is one of those 'man buys suppressor; immediately loads +P ammo' scenarios and the suppressor just can't bleed off enough pressure to make it subsonic. It is a bit on the small side. This is more like a combat suppressor than an assassin suppressor. It may not have any wipes in it, just baffles, which leads to bleedover between the chambers in the suppressor and thus causes more noise. But regardless, a transonic bullet is gonna spoil the porridge. Also, suppressors are incredibly easy to make so there really isn't room to be overly impressed. It either works or it doesn't. But it definitely doesn't take a NASA engineer to build an effective suppressor.
Used in Vietnam lurp and other recon...also used in other places not mentioned for the same reason ..don't be seen or heard ..do your work quietly ..unseen and if need bust a cap....no agent 47 stuff....
That's why the British chose it to use in the WW2 era DeLisle Silent Carbine. I've seen youtube videos of reproductions being fired and those things are about as quiet as a BB gun if not quieter.
That and the pressures are so close to standard pressures that the recoil springs often don't need to be changed. 9mm are a little more finicky. A well tuned .45 will run a can out of the box with standard ball ammo... My only negative is that 45ACP is slightly more dirty because of the low pressures. The carbon isn't atomized as much and thus builds up slightly faster. If your can comes apart easily, this is no big deal. If you have an old uni-body. I pity you poor soul...
@@damemeplug5062 That was mentioned in the initial post. You are correct though. But the original post mentioned that 45 is naturally subsonic (below the sound barrier). That implies going slower than the speed of sound. Sound is around 1125FPS for the barrier. 45ACP is normally between 800-1000FPS. The bullet weight has very little to do with the sound. It does play a role but it's very little. The speed is the major factor. In my experience from thousands of rounds, the 2 biggest factors are the projectile SHAPE and the speed. Anything that is travelling faster than the speed of sound will generate sound cracks, or if in serious enough humidity; it will also generate a larger cone of dispersion from the projectile. Some can even generate a slight whistle or air disturbance at certain speeds. This phenomena is easy to replicate also. I encourage everyone to try a 200GR wadcutter, vs. a 230GR roundnose, vs. a 185JHP. They all sound slightly different and perform better at certain velocities. I'm speaking from years of experience...
I have a 1911 that’s suppressed and when I shoot it I don’t wear ear protection at all it’s that quiet. It’s comparable to a nail gun or high pressure paint ball gun
For those who are commenting about subsonic ammo, you don’t have to buy subsonic ammo for a 1911 chambered in .45. Most 230 grain bullets travel at about 830 fps I believe, so you’re below the sound barrier already.
.45 huh? Incredible. The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen... The slide's been reinforced, and the interlock with the frame is tightened for added precision. The sight system is original too. The thumb safety is extended to make it easier on the finger... a long type trigger with non-slip grooves... A ring hammer...

Its louder than that in person. The microphones on cameras don't faithfully recreate a loud sound like the gun is actually making. It's still much quieter than without a can (obviously).
That’s a pretty faithful sound. You can hear the bullet impact the dirt. It’s damn quiet. Rifle cans and super sonic pistol cartridges on the other hand….still loud (ish)
@@memphisusmvmc6620 Can't say that I have. More importantly, I haven't heard the firing of one being recorded with the same microphone and recording levels as this video.
I think silencers are becoming more and more effective these days. That almost completely takes the sound away. Hard to judge from recorded audio, but sounds like at least a 70% noise reduction!
Googling shows unsupressed vs suppressed 45 acp is 160 db vs 130 db respectively. Since dB is a logarithmic unit, a 10 dB difference equates to a 10x difference in energy of the sound wave (i.e. loudness equivalent), a 20 db difference equals a 100x difference in energy, and a 30 dB difference would be *1000x less (or more) sound energy,* a 100000% noise reduction. If that seems counterintuitive it's because perceptually, your hearing "hides" or compresses an enormous dynamic range so your ears don't get blown out easily.
Watching a video is nearly useless, as far as telling how loud it is. This video makes it sound like an office stapler. The sound of his voice is automatically increased (in the video), and the sound of the gun is automatically lowered... otherwise you would turn the volume way up to hear what he was saying, and the sound of the gun would blow your speakers out (even suppressed). A suppressed .45 is basically as loud, or louder than pounding rimshots on a particularly loud snare drum, in your garage -- which is loud enough to annoy your neighbors. The video cannot show you that, because of the 'volume problem' that I described -- you would have to turn your speakers up to 130dB, which would blow them instantly, and you can't get a relative feel for the volume, because his voice is automatically made louder, in the video. So, imagine the loudest concert you've ever been to. That's how loud this gun is.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894I don’t know about that. I’ve seen Tool and the Melvins play live about 20 times. Dale Crover beats those drums like they slapped his mama. Still. Very loud. Nice clarification.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 this is correct. In audio for most consumer level devices and even some pro ones, when you exceed a certain sound pressure level, the mic simply clips. I've seen videos where firing a .50 BMG is the same level as the dialogue from the subject's lav. The only slightly mitigating factor to your point is what I call peak vs program. The rock concert will probably sustain close to that level where a gunshot is just a quick spike, and there is a difference in what the human ear can tolerate when you take that into consideration.
I used to be of the common mindset that .45 is the best suppressor host due to the standard ammo being subsonic.

As well as less propellant burning overall. So much less gas/noise coming out of the end. Thats also why you really can't get quieter than a .22 bolt action with subs. Tiny little hole to let noise out, very little propellant to burn and make gas/noise, and no action reciprocating. Also, when compared to a handgun, much longer barrel to let gasses expand into and cool before it even reaches the suppressor. When you hear these all at the ear, not on a microphone/speaker you will notice the difference. Suppressed .45 still clicks pretty loud...
Came here and wrote the same thing before seeing this. Not sure why people seem oblivious to 9mm subsonic ammo. My 9mm cans are quieter than my .45 can. Both do a good job though.
Father had a 1911 with a can in the early 1990's, iwas young but I recall it being quite a bit louder..advances in machining and technology has Made these things way better!
For anybody wondering... it isn't actually this quiet in real life. It sounds about the same as a .22 LR. The video camera compresses the sound to make it much much quieter.
Back in WW2 they had a bolt action mag-fed pistol called the Wellrod. It had an integrated silencer with replaceable baffles. It made almost Zero noise, quiet as a toothpick falling on the floor.
Not bad! I serve as a range safety officer at my gun club. It is always SO much more comfortable when someone comes out with a suppressed rifle. The suppressors do an excellent job of reducing the noise and the blast.
You should set the camera up about 15 yards away to give someone an idea of how loud the gun is from the another person's point of view. Then 30 yards. That would be a bit more interesting to know.
My mom as a minor with her working papers made those at Rock Island Arsenal, as a kid and adult I was there many times, the war broke out and she joined USAF R&D then took off 6 years, and went back to the Rock for 38 more years, that's a hell of a lot of years of service.
Wow that actually made it so much more quiet probably the best pistol/suppressor combo Ive seen so far. Although I did notice it slowed the round down a lot and I hear they take away a lot of accuracy but I’ve never gotten to try one myself so idk🤷🏾♂️ but seems like using the suppressor has its pros and cons. I’d say it’s perfect for execution😈
I use the length of the top of the suppressor. Mostly the very end of the top of the suppressor and place a hit on top of quarter size dot at 30 feet with an Osprey and a 46 on a G21. No need for elevated sights.
Practice. People accurately shot bows made of wood and animal sinew with zero sighting aids for thousands of years before iron sights and firearms came along.
That's because all .45 ACP is inherently sub-sonic... The standard 230gr only goes 834fps. Unless you specifically load .45 ACP to run hotter (which the majority of manufactures don't) then again it will be inherently sub-sonic... You're welcome...
They do sell extra stealthy .45 acp which I use in a suppressed carbine. The problem is that 830fps is out of a pistol and with a longer barrel it’s getting uncomfortably close to 1100fps with standard ammo. Instead of being stealthy it sounds like someone chopping wood.
First of all, the feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. It's not going to have any feeding problems. The slide's been replaced with a reinforced version, and it meshes perfectly with the frame. The frame itself has been iron-welded and scraped down multiple times for maximum precision. The front strap part of the frame has been checkered to make it dig into the hand. That prevents any slipping. The sight system's original too. It's a 3-dot type. It's got an enlarged front sight, giving it superior target sighting capability. The regular hammer's been replaced with a ring hammer. That enhances the cocking control and increases the hammer-down speed. They also reworked the grip safety to accommodate the ring hammer. It looks like they eliminated it altogether. This is a tool for pros. The thumb safety and slide stop are extended for precise handling. The base of the trigger guard is whittled down so you can use a high grip, and the trigger itself is a long type for easy finger access. The trigger pull is about 3.5 pounds. that's about a pound and a half lighter than normal. The magazine well has been widened to make it easier to put in a new magazine. The magazine catch button has been filed down low to make it harder to hit it by mistake. The mainspring housing has been changed to a flat type to increase grip, and it's even been fitted with stepping so that it won't slip from the recoil when firing. On top of that, they added cocking serrations to the top part of the slide. That lets you load and eject cartridges faster in an emergency. Whoever did this is a professional, no question. This thing could shoot a one-hole at 25 yards in a machine rest.
The standard load being subsonic makes it the perfect handgun cartridge to suppress. I have a can on my .45-70 Marlin. 405gn at about 950fps is my standard handload. I use pistol powder as it leaves virtually no fouling
I have a Hybrid 46 on a USP45. While it's quiet and doesn't remotely sound like a gunshot inside it's still loud enough to damage your hearing. So in person it is alot louder than the video makes it out to be, but the sound is masked to where it doesn't sound like a gunshot. The cool thing about the hybrid 46 is that it will fit on a .22 all the way up to a 45-70.
Suppresed weapons are actually decently silenced when shot outdoors in open areas (with subsonic ammo of course)... but when fired with nearby walls or with a roof overhead, or worse even indoors, they get so much louder, unlike what hollywood movies like to show. Only suppressed and subsonic 22LR seems to be really quiet even indoors with a good silencer, 9mm and 45 ACP not nearly as much. I hope the day comes when suppressors are no longer somehow classified as "machine guns" in the NFA.

When you hear these all at the ear, not on a microphone/speaker you will notice the difference. Suppressed .45 still clicks pretty loud...
Came here and wrote the same thing before seeing this. Not sure why people seem oblivious to 9mm subsonic ammo. My 9mm cans are quieter than my .45 can. Both do a good job though.
.22 suppressed is incredible to shoot. Even without a suppressor, CCI Quiet-22 through a full length bolt action rifle is BB gun quiet.
@@Bisley1because the 45 is twice as big and will headache you more
You hvae to consider that microphones usually suppress loud noises initially so it's hard to judge the loudness just by volume in video.
A decibel meter on camera comparing the 2 is probably the best way.
@@spaceboy3101 yeap. That's what I saw in other similar videos.
That first round pop was gnarly
There's definitely an audible difference.
@@Warvideos401 you're clueless
dang - that is much better than I thought it would be considering it is a 45!
Father had a 1911 with a can in the early 1990's, iwas young but I recall it being quite a bit louder..advances in machining and technology has Made these things way better!
For anybody wondering... it isn't actually this quiet in real life. It sounds about the same as a .22 LR. The video camera compresses the sound to make it much much quieter.
we're also behind the noisy bits; it's louder on the business end.
It sounds as Loyd as my 45 acp, and I don't have a silencer on mine.
Damn. Quiet. Smooth recoil.nice
Back in WW2 they had a bolt action mag-fed pistol called the Wellrod. It had an integrated silencer with replaceable baffles. It made almost Zero noise, quiet as a toothpick falling on the floor.
Not bad! I serve as a range safety officer at my gun club. It is always SO much more comfortable when someone comes out with a suppressed rifle. The suppressors do an excellent job of reducing the noise and the blast.
I have that exact 1911. Its been a solid workhorse so far.
It ate up 150 bullets that day no problems! It's a mil spec 1911 so it should just work.
@@RuggedAdventures I agree. I love it. enjoy it! Im getting a dan wesson next im excited for that
That's amazingly quiet.
Thank you so much.
Keeping noise down is a big issue when you’re shooting.,
Pretty nice test
Ty mate
Well that was nice and quiet
Quite quiet
No wonder the USP Tactical with a suppressor would be used by elite ops after hearing how quiet this is.
Got the same rock island and love it
Fairly quiet.
Impressive!
You should set the camera up about 15 yards away to give someone an idea of how loud the gun is from the another person's point of view. Then 30 yards. That would be a bit more interesting to know.
thats a lot quieter then i expected, neighbors would still probably hear it
Not gonna lie. That's pretty impressive!
Wow that’s not bad, I was definitely expecting it to be lil louder
That is a thing of beauty
😮 awesome! I also have the rockisland gi in 45 and I love it!
Solid gun for a great price!
they have better out of the box performance than a kimber
Can't expect God to do all the work
My mom as a minor with her working papers made those at Rock Island Arsenal, as a kid and adult I was there many times, the war broke out and she joined USAF R&D then took off 6 years, and went back to the Rock for 38 more years, that's a hell of a lot of years of service.
That's beautiful
ATF is in the bushes
You mean over there where he was shooting at?
"Hey you boys got level 4s on?"
@@joycemyers8140 I hope so.
Doing What? They proceeded or he likely wouldnt have it.
Oh so they couldn't hear anything? 😏
It sounds like an airsoft gun
I see that the silencer really made you a better shot! You almost hit a tree!
Wow that actually made it so much more quiet probably the best pistol/suppressor combo Ive seen so far. Although I did notice it slowed the round down a lot and I hear they take away a lot of accuracy but I’ve never gotten to try one myself so idk🤷🏾♂️ but seems like using the suppressor has its pros and cons. I’d say it’s perfect for execution😈
I wouldn’t know what that was if I heard it echoing in a building. Cool stuff
How do you know where you are aiming?
There made for up close 15 ft or less (Roughly) combat. Less of a chance giving your position away when clearing an area
I use the length of the top of the suppressor. Mostly the very end of the top of the suppressor and place a hit on top of quarter size dot at 30 feet with an Osprey and a 46 on a G21. No need for elevated sights.
Practice. People accurately shot bows made of wood and animal sinew with zero sighting aids for thousands of years before iron sights and firearms came along.
That suppressor costs more than the pistol.
It costs more than a few of my guns combined!
Wow! Now that is impressive, those 45,s do go with a bang !😮
Such a beautiful firearm
Silence is golden.
Good job big boss!
Beautiful
does the suppressor decreases the recoil?
A little bit, but not that much. Any added weight to a gun would decrease its recoil.
@@HDJess makes sense
A 1911 doesn't have as much recoil as some people might think. They're very easy to shoot.
If you are used to guns. For new shooters it bucks. @@hxhdfjifzirstc894
Failure to mention subsonic ammunition.
That's because all .45 ACP is inherently sub-sonic... The standard 230gr only goes 834fps. Unless you specifically load .45 ACP to run hotter (which the majority of manufactures don't) then again it will be inherently sub-sonic... You're welcome...
@@jumpmasterdan77 yup exaclty
They do sell extra stealthy .45 acp which I use in a suppressed carbine. The problem is that 830fps is out of a pistol and with a longer barrel it’s getting uncomfortably close to 1100fps with standard ammo. Instead of being stealthy it sounds like someone chopping wood.
Excellent work 47
The perfect city pistol 🔥🔥😮💨
Now that’s pretty dang quiet!
I'm so impressed! Also look up the De Lisle carbine in .45 ACP as well. Apparently the most silent of all silent weapons (WW2 firearms)
Wow very interesting I had no idea how quit that could be it's the ultimate plinker
Wasn’t expecting it to be that quiet
That is pretty effective. Better that a lot of others.
Thanks for the vid! Would be cool to see a follow-up with downrange sound (since it sounds different on the other side)
Thats a good suppressor i was still expecting more noise
Bro, that .45 legit sounds like a fricken BB gun! 😂😂🤣🤣
No recoil and quiet as hell!
That’s a nice piece
Nice! Very nice❤

First of all, the feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. It's not going to have any feeding problems. The slide's been replaced with a reinforced version, and it meshes perfectly with the frame. The frame itself has been iron-welded and scraped down multiple times for maximum precision. The front strap part of the frame has been checkered to make it dig into the hand. That prevents any slipping. The sight system's original too. It's a 3-dot type. It's got an enlarged front sight, giving it superior target sighting capability. The regular hammer's been replaced with a ring hammer. That enhances the cocking control and increases the hammer-down speed. They also reworked the grip safety to accommodate the ring hammer. It looks like they eliminated it altogether. This is a tool for pros. The thumb safety and slide stop are extended for precise handling. The base of the trigger guard is whittled down so you can use a high grip, and the trigger itself is a long type for easy finger access. The trigger pull is about 3.5 pounds. that's about a pound and a half lighter than normal. The magazine well has been widened to make it easier to put in a new magazine. The magazine catch button has been filed down low to make it harder to hit it by mistake. The mainspring housing has been changed to a flat type to increase grip, and it's even been fitted with stepping so that it won't slip from the recoil when firing. On top of that, they added cocking serrations to the top part of the slide. That lets you load and eject cartridges faster in an emergency. Whoever did this is a professional, no question. This thing could shoot a one-hole at 25 yards in a machine rest.
The standard load being subsonic makes it the perfect handgun cartridge to suppress.
I have a can on my .45-70 Marlin. 405gn at about 950fps is my standard handload. I use pistol powder as it leaves virtually no fouling
That's really quiet. Thought it was a gag at first. Almost expected a red strip of "caps" to start coming out of it.
I have a Hybrid 46 on a USP45. While it's quiet and doesn't remotely sound like a gunshot inside it's still loud enough to damage your hearing. So in person it is alot louder than the video makes it out to be, but the sound is masked to where it doesn't sound like a gunshot. The cool thing about the hybrid 46 is that it will fit on a .22 all the way up to a 45-70.
Damn, that is way quieter than I even expected. Reminds me of Operation: Snake Eater
Suppresed weapons are actually decently silenced when shot outdoors in open areas (with subsonic ammo of course)... but when fired with nearby walls or with a roof overhead, or worse even indoors, they get so much louder, unlike what hollywood movies like to show. Only suppressed and subsonic 22LR seems to be really quiet even indoors with a good silencer, 9mm and 45 ACP not nearly as much. I hope the day comes when suppressors are no longer somehow classified as "machine guns" in the NFA.
Thats absolutely incredible
That really cut the sound more than I expected! Very impressive!
