[QUOTE=Devil;2792048]A 9mm with subsonic ammo is about as quiet as you’ll get with a gun that can reasonably be used for self defense. .45s and soforth - it will keep you from ruining your ears if you have to shoot in the house.[/QUOTE]
Let’s start right here on that debate. Why would you be worried about noise from a firearm from shooting in a house? I would expect the situation would involve a home invasion. There would be a lot more to worry about than hearing damage, like being killed by a intruder.
Reminds me of fellow electricians climbing into hot electrical substations and worrying about how the temperature instead of the energized bus bars.
I do agree with you on the bolt action with 22 shorts. Very quite and can kill small varmits.

A intruder approaching from your blind side you don’t ear.
