Hunting is the purpose for this can. Just to take the edge of the .458 SOCOM when out in the field.
If it helps make my .22 pistol with .22 CBs impossible to hear, well there's that. After all I'm a no-discharge-unless-in-self-defense county. Hate for some neighbor to think I was shooting Chipmunks with a .22lr.
Sort of off topic, I'd never done it, but used my weak hand thumb to hold the bolt in place on my 22/45 while I fired it. Felt just a little "thump" nothing else. I knew it was not a problem to hold a .22lr just had never tried it. Haven't worked up the nerve to hold my P320 yet though I've seen it done.
The CIA had a small latch added to their High-Standard .22s to hold them closed, so there was no sound of movement after the firing pin strike. They or else Mossad did the same thing to Ruger Mark 1 or Mark 11 pistols too, but I don't recall seeing pictures them. I just remember reading about them. And since when is off topic "off topic"?
