Quoted: Much the same problem here in Monroe with racoons. Can't shoot the guns so I got a slingshot! I have heard about subsonic 22 rounds.....

When we lived in Sultan I had a Taurus .22 revolver loaded with Aguila Colbris for shooting in the backyard. One night the dog was freaking out so I grabbed the Taurus and a Surefire M6. Lit the dog up with the Surefire and he was at the end of his lead and about 2 feet away out of his reach was a racoon on its hind legs pawing at the dogs face. The racoon turned and started running towards the woods and I fired 7 shots at it with the Taurus. Pretty sure I missed but I let the dog off his lead anyhow and went back to bed. Wife asks me if I saw anything,
I fired 7 shots rapid fire from a 4" revolver at 2am or so and the person awake 15 feet away on the other side of a 2x4 wall (tract homes in Sultan are POS) wasnt sure if I saw anything let alone fired a pistol, if that isnt a ringing endorsement of how quiet the Colbris are Im not sure what it would take.
