The Hush Puppy Slide Technique Does it Help?
This video explores the effectiveness of the 'Hush Puppy' technique, which involves manually locking the slide to prevent cycling and reduce action noise. The presenter tests this method on a Ruger Mark III, Taurus TX22, and Ruger 10/22, noting a slight reduction in noise, particularly on the Ruger Mark III, when using high-velocity ammunition. The effectiveness is limited by the supersonic crack of the bullet, and the presenter suggests subsonic ammunition would yield better results. The video also touches on the limitations of smartphone decibel meters for accurate firearm sound measurement.
