Custom Ear Plugs from the gun shows?

[CJBrian]

Hey Guys,

Im thinking of going to the gun show in Costa Mesa the beginning of June to pick up a set of custom earplugs. First its been a year since I last went so is that guy still there? Are they worth it? Especially when adding entrance and parking fees. How much are they?

Or is this a better option?

+1 she really takes her time to do it right if the first ones don't look right she re does them and they work great.

So what's an average cost for these?

I have a pair that I got made up at a bike show about 2 years ago. I paid around 50 or 60 bucks for them. I got them to use while riding, but also use them when shooting. I think they were well worth the money as the fit very securely and really cut down the noise a lot. Some may say that is a little bit pricey, but I value my hearing. You can wear ear muffs when shooting, but not when riding so that was my primary reason for getting them. The shooting was kind of an afterthought, but a good one.

I just made a set today. Haven't tried it out yet. One side fits better than the other. It starts to cure pretty fast.

I don't recommend getting them from Ear Defenders, the company based out of Santa Margarita which is frequently at the gun shows. I bought a pair of plugs from them and they cracked after 3 or 4 uses. I tried calling them a good dozen times and never once got a hold of someone to see if I could get them repaired/replaced.

I have had one pair made for me at a mine I use to work at, they worked perfect. I lost those when I left them in my coveralls. I tried the radians, The first pair I made fit ok, didn't work that well. I have yet to make the second one. The next pair I get will be made by a pro.

I have two sets. The pair from Ear Defenders was bought at the Los Angeles Great Western Gun Show in Pomona around 2000 and are hard as a rock and unusable. I bought a pair in Phoenix last year and still use them. I usually use air muffs when shooting.

If you have a HearX near you, they're about 100 or so bucks.

After many years of buying and using disposable foam plugs, I finally broke down and got a set of the custom ones (also from the OC gun show) and I feel they are worth every penny.

I use the 32db foam throw aways... I'm guessing that's what you used. Does it seem like the custom ones cut down the noise as good or better? Thanks!

I've always used the 33db Howard Leight's (max? I think).

These ones don't seem to do AS good of a job, but they're pretty close.

Seeing as how most muff's are only in the 20db range or so, they are definitely worth it.
