.45ACP barrel length?
How long would a .45ACP barrel have to be to quiet it down?
I've found out that a 26" barrel(I have one on the way) will quiet down a 22LR. The 45ACP has almost the same bore-case capacity ratio as the 22LR so I've got a hunch that a 26" 45ACP would be similar.
I'm thinking a Marlin Camp 45 with a longer barrel or one of the 45ACP Mauser conversions would be a perfect backyard gun that won't upset the neighbors if I drop a yote after dark. I had one sitting under a tree shaking off the rain for a full 5 min maybe 50' away from me a while back, he didn't know I was pointing a SKS at him almost the whole time. If I had the gun that I'm thinking about I could have dropped him without worrying that the new subdivision they built almost next door would call the county on me.
