Re: Home Defense Sub-Sonic Ammo

Before selecting the 300Blk AR pistol, I considered a KSG (https://www.keltecweapons.com/shotguns/ksg/), UTS-15 shotgun (http://www.utas-usa.com/pumpactionshotgun) and similar high-cap 12ga equipment. Besides destroying what's left of my hearing, there were scenarios I envisioned where 15 rounds wou...

Re: Home Defense Sub-Sonic Ammo

...I like my 300blk as a SD/HD rifle because i can run a short barrel and add a suppressor... The ability to suppress a sub-sonic round is what sold me on 300Blk for HD. Over-penetration isn't a concern of mine in fact, if the bad guy is behind a door/wall, I want penetration. My original request f...

Re: Home Defense Sub-Sonic Ammo

if you want a 45 acp energy/terminal balistics with a fancy bullet, get a 45 acp and load it up with a fancy bullet and use that. My OP explained that I'm shifting to the 300 Blk AR Pistol since I can mount a laser/light and run a 30 rnd magazine. With my 1911, I'd have juggle a separate light and ...

Re: Home Defense Sub-Sonic Ammo

SMK 220 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1Q7xRmZAtk While the 220g is a sub-sonic round, it's a range round (Sierra HTBP Match King) intended for accuracy. I'm looking for 300 Blk sub-sonic Self-Defense / Home Defense rounds specially designed to expand at sub-sonic speeds (e.g. Hornady 190g Sub-X,...

Re: Home Defense Sub-Sonic Ammo

...Makers with their tougher petals or maybe the fracturing variety Thanks. I didn't know of them as a source. They don't provide recommended loading info on their website...something to track down. If there's a violent home invasion, over-penetration (through interior walls, wood-core doors) isn't...

I've heard that sub-sonic ammo over-penetrates before, but with 500ft-lbs or less of energy, they wouldn't be much different from .45 ACP rounds. Where's the evidence to support the claim that sub-sonic ammo over-penetrates?

Home Defense Sub-Sonic Ammo

I added a 300BLK AR pistol to my arsenal, primarily as my home defense firearm. The bedside 1911 (8 rnds) wouldn't cut it in a home invasion event. 30 rounds with a mounted light/laser on the AR pistol and the ability to grab an extra 30 rnd magazine makes more sense. I plan to add a suppressor in t...

Re: 300BLK Subsonic Newbie

...if you are using it for self defense I would not use reloads.
Thanks. I should have stated that the reloads will be for range use only. I'll use factory loads for home defense.

Re: 300BLK Subsonic Newbie

I'm also new and want to learn what equipment and supplies I need for subsonic 300Blk. I don't need to make a lot of rounds, but have decided to bu...
