Hey everyone. Just signed up for the site, and about to make a purchase from bud's gun shop later tonight/tomorrow. I'm completely new to guns but I'm doing my research before I get it in my hands.
This is going to be my first gun. I'll be getting a XDM compact 3.8 9mm. I've shot 5-6 different guns over the past few weeks and that one was by far my favorite. Felt great in my hand, shot great, I was really impressed. And bud's seems to have a great price on it at $550, I've been to 6-7 gun shops around me and everywhere is priced $650-750
I have a question though. I figured I'd buy some eye/ear protection from bud's also. How much of an advantage is the electronic ear protection? I didn't want to get a super expensive pair, but I was looking at these.
HTU VBSR0061 SR112 ELEC STERO MUFF GR $26.17
I read that when a shot goes off it "mutes" the muffs, but my question is if I'm standing there talking to someone and there are 3 other people on the range shooting, are the muffs going to keep muting themselves so that I can't hear the person I'm talking to? I'm not sure if I should get a cheap pair of the electronic muffs or just a standard pair of normal ear muffs.
