[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Which is better for suppression - 9mm or .45ACP?

Posted: 10/9/2004 8:43:51 PM EDT

I know std .45ACP vel is already subsonic, but does anyone know if the subsonic 9mm is still a better round for a suppressor?

9mm. The .45 lets a lot of gas straight out behind the bullet. 9mm captures more in the baffles. All things being equal, the smaller the bore, the more effective a suppressor will be.
