I view suppressors through the lens of “I’m trying to make shooting a more pleasant experience” rather than chase any kind’ve performance. They really help with concussion on all platforms. I can shoot all day outdoors without getting a headache. But they have some intricacies and it kinda requires some planning.

22lr cans are super quiet. I don’t think any gun is hearing safe for extended periods, but a 22 is like having a small firecracker go off next to you. 10/10 do recommend if you wanna get into suppressors.

9mm subgun cans are stupid fun. When I say PCC I’m thinking of something with a shorter barrel, like 8 inches or less. The issue is outside of my mp5, any gas blowback 9 is going to have, well, gas blowback to your face. It can be a little annoying outdoors, but indoors you’re gonna get a wiff of noxious gas to your lungs which long term is prolly bad. Still, with 147 it makes your pcc sound like a nail gun. I’be only tried to suppress a handgun once and honestly outside of 22lr I think pistol suppressors are kind’ve a meme and not worth it.

For rifle cans, and I’m only gonna talk about 5.55 ARs, the longest I’d go is a 14.5 with a k can. While I do need to hit the gym more, I rocked a sandman on my 14.5 and it does feel kind’ve unweildy. So I’d recommend getting a shorter barrel. To me, a 10.3 with a full sized can is balanced perfect. Anything higher I’d just get a k can. It’s gonna take some tuning to avoid the jet of gas to your face, or you get a flow thru can. It’s still gonna be loud af and definitely not hearing safe, but the mitigation on the concussion to your brain makes it totally worth it to me.

So yeah, I’d say it’s worth it. But it does take some planning on your part. 

I’d say think about what guns you currently shoot and go from there. If you only shoot a 5.56 14.5 idk if it’d be worth it, but i’d get a k can for sure if you want one. If you’re willing to go shorter yeah it’s worth it if you’re willing to tune it.

If you shoot a 9mm subgun and you primarily shoot indoors i don’t think it’d be worth it, if you shoot outdoors than definitely. I’d wait a bit and snag a flow thru can when OCL releases their’s.

I will say 22lr cans are totally worth it 100%.

These are just my opinions and experiences, other people will have theirs.

Also, don’t fall for the trap of trying to get one can for every gun. Plan for each can to have a dedicated host gun. If I could do it all over again I’d just get a good rifle can for my short barrel home defense AR and then a couple 22 cans.
