I like shooting shorts out of my Remington 121 feildmaster is almost like shooting a pellet guns it is so silent.
LOL - quiet indeed!

Yeah, I picked the Long's up at an auction if I remember correctly and God only knows how long whomever had them before he hung onto them. To be honest, I didn't notice they were longs until I went to shoot them the first time...........LOL Then I was like "Crap!" because they didn't work in the Mark III or the 10/20. Had I noticed at the auction, I wouldn't have bothered buying them. But in the end, they work perfectly in the Single Six so they will still get used.

If I'm remembering correctly, .22 shorts are one of the few subsonic shells right from the factory. If you combined them with a suppressor, they would be almost silent. I watched a video on youtube of a guy shooting a Mark III Hunter with an integral suppressor that was very quiet considering it was shooting LR's. I went looking for it and couldn't find it but did find this one:

Amazing how quiet it is. At what looks like 50 yards to me, the ding is louder than the shot. Gotta love the military lingo too........."can" "pills" etc........LOL
