Suppressor covers for home defense rifles?

sajidakh · Apr 10, 2020

It goes without saying there are a myriad of advantages with suppressors. The question is, is there a need for a suppressor COVER for a dedicated home defense setup?

For home defense distances/expected shots fired.... mirage or suppressor heat doesnt seem to be as big of an issue.

Without the ability to transition to backup weapon being that youre probably in your underwear the risk of suppressor burn goes down. And if you do end up being in a major motion picture worthy home defense standoff then maybe a hot suppressor could help you with the added length of the gun not being grabbable in a close encounter.

So would you still have the added bulk of a cover on your home defense gun or would you do without it?

It would have no tactical advantage in a home defense scenario.

Odds are you will be firing 5 to 10 shots. While I wouldn't want to grab a suppressor after 10 shots it's not going to be glowing orange and be able to set the carpet on fire either.

That said, I can't think of a down side to it in a home defense scenario. So go for it.

It's not like you're going to rip 25 rounds into someone.
A pair of clear safety glasses would be more important.

Hey that's a......no.

If you permanently attach one, it might make your suppressor last slightly longer after the police "accidentally" cut your firearm up with a blowtorch in lieu of returning your property to you.

I'm surprised to read that remark from you Blaster. :lol2:

With the "welcoming party" that you've illustrated at your abode, it would be like the raid on Entebbe.

I'm fat and lazy. I'm not getting caught with my pants down in any room. Doesn't mean I'll be using all 9 weapons

I am lacking though. I only have a G26 in the master bath.

If someone is still standing in order to grab anything after that standoff, then someone needs some sort of help

Don’t get in the way of people over-thinking things.

No medicine cabinet actually. But thanks for the spare mag reminder. Hopefully I wouldn't need 20 rounds to get from there into the attached bedroom

I do have 1, 33 rounder. It's to remind me how ridiculous those sticks are.

I’ve got a few but only really to use in my Sub2K. So they do have a legit purpose I guess.

That’s an okay pistol for a powder room, but for a master bath?

Damn that gun gets around... :innocent0

Me and Vin are saving up for a scabbard for you.

Blaster229,

With all your weapons laid out, your house looks like the video games my son plays. All you need are glowing hovering healing packs.

But in all seriousness, I see you chose not to conceal them. If an intruder gets in, do you run the risk of accidentally arming them?
