Loudest Muzzle Blast

[Larryjk]

I'll go with Rocky. I never thought of peeling paint with my Ruger Blackhawk in 30 Carbine but Rocky is right. It would do quite well. Have never shot that revolver without plugs in and muffs over, but have moved back of another shooter about 50 feet and my ears still hurt.
I don't shoot that gun much because I am always scared I might see something to shoot at and get so excited I might forget to plug and cover the ears.
