Starting out with suppressed handguns

Using a holster for a handgun with a suppressor can bring a number of benefits for shooting, both for fun and for practical purposes. Here are some of the advantages of using a holster for a suppressed handgun:

  1. Noise reduction: One of the primary reasons for using a suppressor, also known as a silencer, is to reduce the noise of the gunshot. This can be especially beneficial when shooting outdoors, as the sound of the gunshot can carry over long distances and potentially disturb neighbors or wildlife. A suppressor can also help to protect the shooter’s hearing, as the loud noise of a gunshot can cause temporary or permanent hearing damage.
  2. Improved accuracy: A suppressor can help to reduce the recoil of a handgun, which can in turn improve the shooter’s accuracy. This can be especially useful when shooting at steel targets, as the reduced recoil can make it easier to stay on target and get a good shot.
  3. Enhanced safety: Using a suppressor can also enhance safety by reducing the likelihood of accidental discharges. This is because the suppressor can help to reduce the noise of the gunshot, making it less likely that someone nearby will be startled and accidentally pull the trigger.
  4. Increased enjoyment: Using a suppressor can make shooting a handgun more enjoyable, as it can reduce the noise and recoil of the gun. This can make it more comfortable to shoot for extended periods of time and can also make it more appealing for those who are sensitive to loud noises.
  5. Ease of mounting: Many suppressors are designed to be easily mounted onto a handgun, and a good holster can help to secure the suppressor in place while shooting. This can make it easier to use the suppressor and can also help to prevent it from coming loose or falling off while shooting.

There are a few things to consider when choosing a holster for a suppressed handgun. One important factor is the fit of the holster, as a poor fit can cause the gun to sit awkwardly and may make it more difficult to draw. It’s also important to consider the materials used in the construction of the holster, as a high-quality holster will be durable and able to withstand the rigors of shooting.

Another factor to consider is the type of mounting system used in the holster. Some holsters use a belt-mounted system, while others may use a shoulder or thigh holster. The best choice will depend on the preferences and needs of the shooter, as well as the intended use of the handgun.

In conclusion, using a holster for a handgun with a suppressor can bring a number of benefits for shooting, including reduced noise, improved accuracy, enhanced safety, increased enjoyment, and ease of mounting. By carefully considering the fit, materials, and mounting system of the holster, shooters can find a holster that meets their needs and helps them to get the most out of their suppressed handgun.
