Duration:   4  mins

The Hush 147-grain round-nose subsonic 9mm round from Freedom Munitions (purchase Freedom ammunition here) is a specialty-application round designed to make shooting with a suppressor even quieter. Rob Pincus is shooting a suppressed Avidity Arms PD-10 and explains why you might want to shoot subsonic ammo on a gun that already has a suppressor attached. Subsonic ammo allows you to take maximum advantage of a suppressor, and the 147-grain weight gives more reliability to a suppressed handgun.

Rob takes some shots at an indoor range while not wearing hearing protection. Between the suppressor and the Freedom Munitions Hush 9mm, there’s no problem.

Rob likes subsonic ammo for full days of firearms training or practice and especially for introducing new shooters to firing on an indoor range. They’ll feel more comfortable with the lower signature of the subsonic ammo.

This is the hush ammunition from Freedommunitions. It's a 147 grain round nose subsonic 9 millimeter round. Now this obviously is a specialty application round designed to make the shooting even quieter running whatever suppressor you might be putting on your 9 millimeter handgun, PCC, PDW, whatever it is you've got. Now today, obviously we're shooting a kind of typical, typical technology, nothing special. Suppressor on an avidity Arms PD 10 typical mid frame thin 9 millimeter gun.

Now what we're gonna talk about here is why you would want subsonic ammo. Well, what subsonic ammo allows you to do is take maximum advantage of a suppressor. The 147 grain weight also not only does it slow the bullet down with the particular loading they've got that weight also is gonna give you more reliability. Remember, even with a booster, you still have a potential reli. issue whenever you suppress a handgun and make sure you have a good shooting platform behind it.

You want to make sure you have good quality ammunition in there and 147 grain is the standard for subsonic rounds. This round nose hush round from Freedom munitions is one that I have found to be very, very usable and very reliable in a variety of different platforms. Obviously I'm not wearing hearing protection here inside this indoor range, don't have anything to worry about between the suppressor and the hush. Now, one of the things that's really hard to do when we're doing these videos is really make a compelling demonstration of the difference between subsonic and supersonic ammunition, but we're gonna go ahead and give it a try. The audio team Has assured me that this might work.

So here I've got 115 grain standard ammunition, and you can see I'm alternating with the hush. Now, this is also Freedom munitions. And we're going to see if we can tell the difference. Now what I'm hearing with my hearing protection off, both of those rounds are hearing safe, and I'm hearing that crack of the supersonic round which you heard on the 1st, the 3rd, and the 5th round, and you're hearing more of a thud, that duller sound that isn't as sharp and isn't obviously as punishing to the ears as the supersonic crack is gonna be. Now both the hush round and the standard round are rendered hearing safe with the suppressor, but especially if I'm re shooting.

Around or I'm introducing new people who might be more uh averse to the sound of a firearm if I'm bringing them to the range with a suppressed gun for that reason, then having the round that's subsonic without that supersonic crack down range and echoing, especially off the walls inside of the building, it's just gonna be more pleasant to shoot. And if I'm in a hunting situation and I really wanted to have less signature from that shot being fired, if I'm doing hogs or something like that with a PCC hunting any kind of varmint. Whatever it is I'm doing, the subsonic round without that crack really does make a difference. Maybe not from shot to shot the first few times you're doing it, but when you really start paying attention to what's going on with the suppressed firearm, you're really gonna be able to tell the difference. Now one of the cool things about the Hash ammunition is it's on the market now, readily available from a trusted name, Freedom Munitions at a time when in 2024 we saw astronomically unprecedentedly fast approvals for.

Suppressors. So we're seeing more and more people shooting suppressed. Of course it'd be great if the suppressors were taken off of the NFA or NFA went away entirely, and we could buy suppressors like an accessory or maybe at least like a standard firearm without having to pay for the tax stamp without having extra paperwork and potentially extra wait times. But because those wait times have dropped dramatically recently, we're seeing more and more people shoot suppressed, and that means more and more demand for high quality subsonic ammunition like the hush from Freedom munitions.
