I have a good set of muffs, but I really want a set of ear plugs I could get that would work well enough on their own most of the time..
Are the electronic ones worth while, or the pour molds?
If you can provide links I would appreciate it..

Surefire Sonic Defenders, several varieties to choose from for fit, amount of noise protection, etc.

I wear the sonic defenders with electronics muffs and it is good enough for rifle and pistol while being able to hear whoever you are with or the instructor which is always nice. I am a big proponent of two sets of hearing protection, but I have good hearing and would like to keep it that way.
If you have small ear canals like I do they don't work that great, they want to work their way out. Also there is a seam from being molded that really bugs me when shoved in the ear canal.
I have also used these: http://radians.com/radsite/index.php...category_id=36
Those work pretty good but seam to not stay in place that well.
They come in S, M, and L, none of them fit your ear canals?
IMHO the silicone they are made of is quite soft and comfortable, if they do have a ridge or seam from the molding process I have never even noticed it and it certainly does not bother me.
The sensation of wearing them for the first time is a bit odd I will admit, but after working or shooting with them in for extended periods it becomes much less of an issue and they're much less obtrusive than muffs with regard to weight, sweating and holding in heat, smashing safety eyewear into your face, etc.

The CVS branded ones.
Seriously the best ones I have seen yet.
I used to pay $14-16 for Surefire Ear Pros. Found out later that the cheaper Howard Leight plugs were just as effective.
Last I checked the Surefire ear pro could be found at Menards as well
Spend the money (around $60) and get a set of custom-moulded earplugs.
I bought a a set at the SHOT show about 6 years ago and LOVE them!
Two years ago, I took my son to the SHOT show and bought a set for him.
I found a woman doing them at the Birch Run gun show a year ago and marched my other son to her booth to have his molded.
They are wonderful!!!!
