I run a bowers Vers9s on a m10 and sten,
Sounds awesome on both. Very light for the size and girth of a subgun can as well.
The huge benefit to the subgun can on a full auto/pcc over a pistol can(even if it is FA rated) is that the gas has somewhere to go instead of back into your face.
Of course the pcc won't send as much gas back to you as a FA, but it still makes a difference, when it's not a handgun.
IMO there is a correct tool for the job. Subgun should get a subgun can, pistol should get a pistol can. A PCC is a gray area, but if you do a lot of fast shooting or mag dumps, a higher volume can(subgun) will perform better. A pistol can will be lighter, but you will deal with more gas to the face.
As far as sound....they are probably so similar to each other that it won't matter to the ear. I shoot a lot of 9mm FA, so even when I'm shooting with a can, I still shoot supersonic 9.
It's fine, it's suppressed, but it is not Hollywood quiet. You get some 147 and it is just ridiculous. That's where they shine, but it's expensive unless you reload, so keep that in mind, it's not as cost effective to shoot subsonic, so you might not do that as often.
