I'll preface this by saying I have nothing at all against suppressors, and that I of course don't believe they lead to more crime yadda yadda.
What I do wonder is why there's so much interest in them. They make the host firearms longer and bulkier, and don't negate the need for hearing protection, especially if you're firing supersonic loads.
I suppose I could see using a subsonic .358 (or similar) load for deer hunting, but last I knew, suppressors were not legal for hunting.
What's the fascination with suppressors? What am I overlooking?
