I agree 100%. I will not do it.
I'll try to work up a subsonic load next year. Just got suppressor 2 weeks before gun season in CWD counties can't shoot with recoil so darn glad to get what I've got
There are several bullets designed for good terminal performance on game at subsonic speeds. However, the importance of good shot placement increases exponentially with increased range.
If you don't mind please suggest good subsonic bullets…
Faster than an arrow
I've had good results in 300 Blackout with the 190gr Hornady Sub-X out to 120 yards. Though not designed as a subsonic bullet, the 220gr Sierra Pro Hunter works good at 50 to 75yards. I haven't tried them myself, but have been told that Outlaw State bullets perform well. There are others designed for subsonic expansion such as the Cutting Edge Raptor. Just about any soft cast lead bullets should do well.

When working up subsonic loads be sure to shoot them without the suppressor attached to verify they are not tumbling. It can be easy to become anxious to try a new load but if the twist rate doesn't stabilize the bullet being tested you'll destroy your suppressor.
Maybe more states will follow Texas
Tennessee and Montana did it before Texas did it. It's called THE TENNESSEE FIREARMS FREEDOM ACT and it's still in force. However…. All the FFL's got a letter from the BATF saying they will enforce federal law.
No test dummies yet that I know of.

I've read some posts from Montanans over on longrangehunting.com that have bought suppressors manufactured in state and skipped the $200 NFA extortion. I haven't read of any problems ..... yet.
These guys in Kanas had a problem. I think suppressors should be legal. But I also think it's disingenuous for state LEO's and legislators to imply that residents are protected from federal prosecution. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
One State’s Symbolic Gun Rights Law Has Two Men in Very Real Legal Trouble
Three years ago, in a move intended to signal its profound devotion to gun rights — and opposition to new restrictions being weighed by Congress — the Kansas legislature passed a law that never had any chance of actually taking force. The “Second Amendment Protection Act” declared that federal...

My first trip down this road took 13 months. That was 10 or so years ago.
Just get them in the mix and forget about them. It will drive you nuts trying to predict when it will be released from nfa jail.
My first was 14 months, I had one come back in 3 months about five years ago. That was a bit surprising.
I get people not wanting to pay the tax, it sucks.
Over the course of a lifetime it's nothing and they put smiles on faces!!

TN politicians need a little Texas Balls infusion...
I have hearing protection, less than $20. I can shoot whenever I want.
The noise actually puts a smile on my face.

Look at it this way: A top tier suppressor costs $1400 w/ stamp. Top tier hearing aids cost about $5000. Since you will have to pick one, which will it be?
I gave my hearing to incoming long ago so the cost of hearing aids does not apply in my case. I do use ear pro while target practice and load development but sure would prefer suppressors if the gov would get back in their lane.
