Frequently Asked Questions

What makes .45 ACP a good caliber for suppressed shooting?

.45 ACP is naturally subsonic, meaning its standard ammunition travels slower than the speed of sound. This characteristic significantly reduces the sonic crack associated with gunfire, making it ideal for suppressed shooting without needing specialized subsonic loads.

What safety measures does Hickok45 use for manual action firearms?

For manual action firearms like lever and bolt guns, Hickok45 employs a safety protocol where he places an empty case under the hammer or in front of the firing pin. This ensures the firearm is safely unloaded while handling it for the camera.

Why are Talon Grips recommended for the Hi-Point .45 JHP?

The Hi-Point .45 JHP is noted for having slippery factory surfaces. Talon Grips are recommended to improve handling and provide a more secure grip on both the slide and frame, enhancing control during operation.

What are the benefits of the Banish 45 suppressor?

The Banish 45 suppressor from Silencer Central is highlighted for its versatility. It can be used across different firearm platforms and calibers up to .45 ACP, requiring only a simple piston change for compatibility.
