Coyote Problem

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

Thanks for that. I never would have dreamed a longer sight radius would make that much of a difference.

I got caught up in the moment just trying to answer OPs question.

Please b̶o̶o̶r̶ regale me with your thoughts on optics as well.

Handguns are great.....at handgun ranges and most people get it.
For longer distance a rifle platform is a better launcher , even in .45.

Depends on your shooting skills. Me, my boy, and my neighbor all shoot pistols at those ranges and most times better than those rifle groups posted. :mrgreen: ( we do shoot daily though) Hell, with rifle they better damn we'll be touching if rested and on 3" -4" swingers un rested.

Cheap rifles? Handi in 357 or 300 BLK or Ruger Ranch bolt in 300 BLK.

Suppressor? I personally use the Octane 9 & 45 on pistols / rifles in anything from 22lr to 44 mag to 300 BLK.

Want in between, one of my favorites is a Contender II frame with threaded " super 14" barrels and a red dot, you can take their balls off with those .

Coyotes can be taken with 22 with a good shots and not much of a problem,, you should see the Cats and other Critters on my property. :mrgreen:

if you can do better with a .45 handgun @ 100 yards with 15~25 mph gusts you da man.......



This is better but makes more noise.

I thought the subject was about how impossible it was to hit well @ 50 yards will a pistol. ( page 1)

Clearly I somehow managed to offend you, but I frankly don't understand how. I simply suggested another means of solving the OP's problem that they may find more suitable/appropriate for the available tools/skills. If you can "wing-shoot" quick randomly moving targets at 50yd with a handgun and a "steady hand" under pressure then my hat goes off to you, but that's just not an assumption one can safely make regarding every shooters ability.

Andy,

It depends a bit on how you are taking into account the numbers. The first 3 shots will probably average quieter on the Octane by a couple dB. The entire mag should average better on the Osprey.

The Osprey has a bit of first round pop (not bad to me, I don't mind it at all, but some folks may) and the Octane has next to none. That messes with averages a bit.

It can be argued both ways, all depends on how you consider the first couple shots.

Thank you for your responce...i do want the next to none FRP..especially on at least the first three shots..hopefully that is all it will take...my place is heavily wooded, also with thick brush.so i want a heavy ball ammo...but i do like the flow of the osprey on the hk 45...
How is the octane look on the hk USP tactical 45? Can the standard sights work with the octane? Or do i need the the raised sight to shoot over the can? Any help guys?
Thank you
Andy

I think it is generally accepted the larger the bore the harder it is to suppress. If you can get by with a smaller caliber, it would be quieter. Not Hollywood quiet but quieter. Hollywood quiet is not possible, at least with a .45. My neighbor lives .3 miles away and shoots his suppressed .45 in his back yard. I can still hear it inside our house. It isn't disturbing but I can tell it is a gun. If your neighbors are anti-gun, you may have a problem.

You mentioned this is not your area of expertise, unless you have been around suppressed guns, I'd get with someone who has a .45 suppressed and maybe a .22 and a 300 BO and listen to the difference. A bolt gun or a lever gun is going to be quieter than an auto.

If you coyotes are like the ones around my house, most like you will not get but one shot, especially if it is in brush.

Check on the legality of cans where you live. They are not legal everywhere. Plus you have to have a tax stamp, meaning you can't walk into a store and walk out with a can.

You can also run the can wet to tame down the noise quite a bit... but it's messy.

Even without any FRP (and even wet to some extent) you're going to make some noise. I would equate it to dropping something in the garage. Say moving a dresser and the drawer slides out and hits the ground. There's some noise, and the wife may walk in and go "What on Earth are you doing out here?" but it's not alarming loud. Hammering a nail into soft wood may be a good example as well. You won't wince or destroy your ears, but it's not movie quiet. (22 bolt guns on the other hand are a different story, I've got a CO2 BB gun to that's louder)

Send me a private message with your email and I'll send some pictures you're way... I've got a 45C here not exact, but maybe will give you an idea of how an Osprey and Octane look on the same gun.

Sights are... well, a divisive topic. Osprey they aren't PERFECT but manageable. Most handguns are going to sit so the front post is level with the top of the can. If you're shooting off the top of the post, you're golden. If your point of aim is the dot, you're shooting through the top of the Osprey, barely.

The Octane really requires suppressor sights if you're wanting a good picture. I don't like "shooting through the can" with an Octane. Mentally it screws with me... but some people have no issue. For me, it's a big deal. Other folks could care less.

I cannot believe that nobody mentioned the FNH .45 tac and a TiRant can.

One hell of a combo, if you haven't shot it, you really should.

You will probably have a hard time completing this CAG mission with the dogs though.

Not really - the can acts like a big 'ol muzzle brake. Really cuts down on the muzzle flip that you get otherwise. Mine is just a little .44, but I imagine the .50 would work pretty much the same. I find the gas operated action makes it not the quietest host, though. Still quieter than your unsuppressed 9mm, though.

I find a .22LR does just fine and suppresses very well. Especially if they are inbound at the coyote at 800 rounds per minute. :twisted:

Offended no.

Annoyed yes. Justifiably, not sure I care. :D

The OP asked a pretty simple question about how to improve his chances with the hand gun. It wasn't an open ended discussion on all the ways to kill a coyote.

Didn't see any reason to start boiling the ocean on all the best possible ways to take care of yotes because, if truth be told, there are even better/easier ways to take care of them than any kind of gun at all ... not necessarily more humane or legal.

Good choices. I have a USP40T Full Size paired with an Octane 45 HD. This combo sounds about like a paintball gun. Very unassuming unless you knew it was indeed a firearm.

the mk23 is still my favorite host ... it's built so well ... i just love the sound it makes when you put a round in the chamber ... sounds like a suction ... you'd have to do it yourself to understand ...
