What's your goal? 8"-10" seem to be most popular. After you go past 10.5" or 11" you're probably not gaining anything. I don't know how a shorter barrel would "beat up" a suppressor.

Ideally, the bullet Shouls extend past the muzzle

The Internet told me 300blk was designed for 8.5" I do what the internet tells me. Its usually right.

I'm running an 8.5" on my 300blk with an SDN6. ACC warranty says you can go down to 7.5" for 5.56 and 300blk.

To maintain accuracy at different ranges (close range-defensive and out to 100 maybe 150 yards). 2.) Suppressed performance and as short as possible over all length as this will be a pistol build. 3.) Oh yeah and not to cause premature baffle erosion on my can. |

If your really that worried about your can, put a brake on your barrel. It will reduce the chance of eroding your baffels. I've got a flash hider on my blackout but I put a brake on my 556, just in case. |

300BLK can go down to 5" or 6"
 The round was made for short barrels, that being said AAC recommends 9" being the best  Look at some youtube videos with John Hollister from AAC

With 223 and 556 , most silencer manufactures will not warranty cans on barrels below 10". I say most because I'm sure there is one who does somewhere. Anyway, it has to do with bullet stability. Under 10" the bullet is not stable enough and can bounce off your baffles and wreck the silencer. All this being said there are plenty of folks who run suppressed pistols under 10" reliably. However the can is no longer under warranty. I'm gonna go on a limb and say this applies to 300 blk and all rifle rounds |

Is there any bullet drop at 100 yards with a 9" barrel?

100 yd zero
Supers, 2" low at 10yds, 0" at 70 yds and 0" at 100 yds Subs, 1" low at 10 yds, 3" high at 50yds and 0" at 100yds Much more of a rainbow tragectory with subs is to be expected. These are just ballpark numbers from my ballistic calculator. |

I wouldn't run a subsonic load out of any short barrel without making sure it was adequately stabilized. I thought he meant there was something unique about barrels <10" that caused more wear, and I'm not sure that's the case. |
