Are the smart phone app decibel meters any good?
I shot my F1 9mm can today at an indoor range with a 10.5" SBR. The phone was laying on the bench about 3ft below the muzzle, directly underneath. The decibel meter averaged ~116 over 10 shots.
I was pretty excited about that result until I shot without the can and registered ~121db. That seems awfully low considering there was no muzzle device at all.
so...what's the verdict on phone based meters?
