What's your latest "impulse buy" . . . . . ?

I always double up anyway. I use the muffs and a way to hear well even with my good plugs for the most part

Smart. Real loud guns, say 164db, - 22db typical muffs (muffs alone) = 142 db, not hearing safe.

I hope you will wear earplugs also with those. Only 23 db reduction. 160 db for most guns =137 db at the ear.

Contrast with Peltor x5 is about 34 db reduction, or 160-34= 126. So Peltor x5 is less than half as loud to your ears as the Walker slim razor.

Thanks for letting me know. There is a possibility that "I might" return this then. I already have a double up muff and it works perfect. I also want to get an electronic muff without wearing plugs. This will come in handy when I'm targeting with others which was the main purpose then.

When I am shooting loud guns, I use USN 86 Flight Deck ear protection. They are bulky, but quiet.

I do own a set of Walker Pro Razor electronic that work well. Rated at -23DB, but seem much quieter. I use these for general shooting.

This is what I been using for a year now. Its a $10 passive plus I wear plugs at the same time. Nothing penetrates on this sucker not even a cannon. I am very protective even when it comes to hearing. Its a must besides I do a lot of high fidelity recordings. Upon using this, I find it suitable enough for my regular target shooting phase.
I am very lucky that all my firearms including rifles doesn't get in the way. I can still communicate with this setup but not as good as with an electronic muff. Honestly if I wasn't going to a shooting trail with an officer, I wont even think about buying an electronic.

I should have been stacking gold this year, but I suppose short term Treasury Bills are a good alternative. We are saving up to move out of Oregon so I am trying to set an example by limiting my purchases. Why go out to eat when I can make it better at home? Now if I can just get my wife to give up Dutch Bros and monthy clothing purchases.
